Certainly! Here are the types of ROM exercises:
1. Passive Range of Motion (PROM): This type of exercise involves the therapist, caregiver, or another person moving the patient's joint through its range of motion without any effort from the patient. It helps maintain joint flexibility and prevent stiffness.
2. Active Range of Motion (AROM): In AROM exercises, the patient independently moves their joint through its full range of motion without any assistance. This type of exercise helps improve muscle strength and joint function.
3. Active-Assistive Range of Motion (AAROM): AAROM exercises involve the patient partially moving the joint on their own with some assistance from a therapist or caregiver. It helps in improving muscle strength and coordination while gradually increasing independence.
These types of ROM exercises play a crucial role in rehabilitation and maintaining joint health, depending on the patient's condition and needs. Each type serves a specific purpose in promoting mobility, strength, and overall well-being.
