Active Free Range of Motion Exercises

Active Free ROM exercises are characterized by: . Mobility activities performed by active muscle contraction. Can be performed against gravity or in a gravity-minimized situation (omitting gravity or gravity eliminated).Motions can be in cardinal planes, combined motions, or functional activities.

    1. Active Free Range of Motion Exercises Active free ROM exercise is exercise in which movement is performed by the voluntary effort of the patient through full range of motion omitting gravity or against gravity without external assistance or resistance behind that of the gravity.

    2. Active Free ROM exercises are characterized by: Mobility activities performed by active muscle contraction. Can be performed against gravity or in a gravity-minimized situation (omitting gravity or gravity eliminated). Motions can be in cardinal planes, combined motions, or functional activities.

    3. Indications of Active Free ROM Exercises 1- General mobility exercise. 2- Aerobic conditioning Ex 3- When a segment of the body is immobilized for a period of time, active free ROM exercise is used on the regions above and below immobilized segment to maintain areas in as normal as possible &prepare for new activities.
