(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/btb7340/public_html/website_07ab645f/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Range of motion (ROM) is a foundational concept in physical and occupational therapy. It refers to the extent of movement that a joint can achieve in various directions. For therapists, understanding and optimizing ROM is critical for patient recovery and overall well-being. This post dives deep into the different types of ROM, its importance, and practical tips for incorporating ROM exercises into therapy sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Passive Range of Motion (PROM) involves movement applied to a joint by an external force, such as a therapist’s hands, without any effort from the patient. PROM is essential for patients unable to move a joint independently, often due to injury, surgery, or neurological conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Role of PROM in Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PROM helps maintain joint flexibility, improve circulation, and prevent joint stiffness. By moving the joint through its available range, therapists can keep tissues pliable and promote healing. PROM exercises are particularly crucial in the early stages of rehabilitation when active movement might be limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Examples of PROM Exercises<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Incorporating these exercises ensures that patients retain some joint flexibility, even when they cannot actively participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Active Range of Motion (AROM) refers to movements performed entirely by the patient without external assistance. AROM is integral to strengthening muscles, enhancing coordination, and promoting independence in daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Significance of AROM in Rehabilitation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n AROM exercises help patients build muscle strength around the joint, improve motor control, and regain functional abilities. These activities encourage patients to take an active role in their recovery, which can boost motivation and adherence to therapy programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Examples of AROM Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
