Prevents DVT
What is one way mentioned to prevent thrombus formation?
Increasing circulation
In the context provided, what differentiates movement with no additional resistance?
Strengthening inherent resistance of limb weight/gravity
What remains present even when no additional resistance to movement is applied?
Inherent resistance of the limb weight/gravity
Which of the following is not a benefit mentioned in the text?

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
Learn about Active Range of Motion, a type of movement produced by internal muscle force, and its benefits in maintaining muscle elasticity, strength, and preventing DVT and thrombus formation.
