Begins with the therapist moving the patient through the desired movement using
passive range of motion, followed by active-assistive, active-resisted range of motion, and finally active range of motion.
Using
passive range of motion, determine the joints that have restricted range of motion.
Eight months after the surgery, the total active motion of the middle finger was 65 degrees (total
passive range of motion was 70 degrees) and that of the ring finger was 70 degrees (total
passive range of motion was 80 degrees).
He was started on rehabilitation therapy immediately, which included use of dynamic cock-up splint active and
passive range of motion exercises and usage of wheelchair for ambulation.
Patients in group I were subjected to Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation therapy while those in group II were treated by
passive range of motion exercises only.
Prone palpation and
passive range of motion testing elicited tenderness on the right side of the spine around L4-L5, and in left side-lying with forward flexion and right rotation down to the L4-L5 level there was also a good deal of tenderness upon palpation.
(7) Despite these findings, early mobilization and
passive range of motion can be very painful, imposing limitations in the patient's ability to reach their maximum rehabilitation potential.
PROM:
passive range of motion, AROM: active range of motion, IR: internal rotation, HA: horizontal adduction, SS: stretch sensation, PPT: pressure pain threshold, Infra: infraspinatus muscle, Post.
In comparison,
passive range of motion (ROM) testing exerted a peak 11-13% strain.
Changes in shoulder and elbow
passive range of motion after pitching in professional baseball players.
Passive range of motion was not performed in the immediate postoperative period because of the risk of injury with repeated capture.
Contracture is a loss of
passive range of motion assessed by measuring maximum passive joint excursion (Horsley et al 2007, Harvey et al 2006, Refshauge et al 2006, Folpp et al 2006).
