Aardvark Neck LimitationNote Adaptation to ADL’s (such as they are….)
Swelling, tenderness & pain are among factors that limit ROM.
Body Movement Movement, as in the case of these dancers, involves voluntary and involuntary movement.

Asymmetrical Movement This type of movement may be a CNS disorder but is most often a CVA. Examples include drooping on one side of the body and a foot-dragging gait.
Counter indication of ROM • Dislocated or unhealed fracture (fx). • Immediately after surgery (sx) on tendons, ligaments, muscles, joint capsules or skin.
Precautions with ROM • Infection or inflammation around a joint. • Pain medication • Osteoporosis • Arthritis
