A CPM device is disclosed having a single drive tube supporting the calf and thigh support members. Arms extend upwardly from the calf and thigh support members, each supporting an adjustable cradle in which the calf or thigh rests. The support arms are rotatable 180 degrees so that either leg may be supported over the single drive tube. A foot support is also cantilevered from the end of the calf support drive bar. The drive tube which supports the calf and thigh drive support bars is cantilevered from a unique support mechanism which attaches an end of the drive tube to the horizontal bed frame at the end of the hospital bed. A rack and pinion mechanism is combined with a unique gas spring in order to allow the drive tube to be easily rotated up above the hospital bed with the gas spring providing a power assist to the person lifting the drive tube off the bed in order that the drive tube may be easily rotated up off the bed without undue physical exertion.
