No. Some people get sent home with the CPM machine that essentially moves your leg from full straight out position to varying degrees of bend. In the hospital I was doing 75% the day of surgery, next day 80% and yesterday was at 90%. I had decent range of motion, so they didn't send it home with me. They really want you doing it on your own rather than the machine doing the work. The one thing nice about the CPM machine is that after extended periods of rest (like sleeping) you weren't as stiff starting out the day if you ran it durning the night for several hours.
