Joint Mobility and Range of Motion

Every body joint has a specific but limited opening and closing motion that is called its range of motion (ROM). The limit of the joint’s range is between the points of resistance at which the joint will neither open nor close any further. Generally all people have a similar ROM for their major joints.

Passive Range of Motion
If a client is unable to move, the nurse helps by performing passive range of motion (PROM) exercise.
