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
