Study Notes

Passive Range of Motion (PROM)

  • Goal: decrease complications arising from immobility, such as cartilage degeneration, adhesions, contracture, and decreased circulation

Indications for PROM

  • Acute inflammation
  • Active motion would be detrimental
  • Patient unable to move a body part or not allowed to do so

Contraindications for PROM

  • Extreme pain at rest
  • Disruption of healing process

Limitations of PROM

  • Does not prevent muscle atrophy
  • Does not increase strength or endurance
  • Does not increase circulation to the extent of active muscle contraction

Importance of End Feel

  • Pay attention to end feel during treatment, especially after surgery while tissues are healing

Conditions for PROM

  • Bed rest
  • Paralysis
  • Comatose

Normal End Feels

  • Hard (bony)
  • Firm (soft tissue stretch)
  • Soft (soft tissue approximation)
