WHAT Is RANGE OF MOTION and Flexibility Therapy?

This is the range through which a joint can be moved, usually its range of flexion and extension, as determined by the type of joint, its articular surfaces, and that allowed by regional muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and physiologic control of movement across the joint. Range of motion is the extent of movement of a joint, measured in degrees of a circle. It is the Joint movement (active, passive, or a combination of both) carried out to assess, preserve, or increase the arc of joint motion. Flexibility is the ability of a joint or series of joints to move through an unrestricted, pain free range of motion.

Range of Motion and Stretching/Flexibility Therapy

Range of motion exercise refers to activity aimed at improving movement of a specific joint. This motion is influenced by several structures: configuration of bone surfaces within the joint, joint capsule, ligaments, tendons, and muscles acting on the joint.

There Are Three Types of Range of Motion Exercises:

R

1. Passive

Passive range of motion is the movement applied to a joint solely by another person or persons or a passive motion machine.

R

2. Active

Active range of motion is movement of a joint provided entirely by the individual performing the exercise.

R

3. Active Assistive

Active assist range of motion is described as a joint receiving partial assistance from an outside force.
