(__)ROM is the amount of movement a joint can perform,
and to measure this range, the initial position is the
anatomical position, except for rotational movements;
(__)In active movement, the range of motion is achieved
through the patient's own strength, without external
assistance, depending on muscle contraction;
(__)Passive movement does not involve muscle
contraction and is performed by an external force, such
as an occupational therapist, to achieve the joint's range
of motion.
