Study Notes

Active Range of Motion (AROM)

AROM is movement produced by internal muscle force, without external assistance or resistance
No external force is applied to produce the movement

Benefits of AROM

Maintains elasticity and contractility of involved muscles
Helps maintain strength
Stimulates bone growth and prevents Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Increases circulation and prevents thrombus formation

Key Characteristics of AROM

Distinguishes from strengthening exercises as it does not add additional resistance to movement
Inherent resistance from limb weight and gravity is still present
