  2. Range of motion (exercise machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_Motion_(exercise...

    When passive range of motion is applied, the joint of an individual receiving exercise is completely relaxed. At the same time, the outside force moves the body part, such as a leg or arm, throughout the available range. Injury, surgery, or immobilization of a joint may affect the normal joint range of motion. [7] Active range of motion is the ...

  3. Range of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_motion

    Passive range of motion (or PROM) – Therapist or equipment moves the joint through the range of motion with no effort from the patient. Active assisted range of motion (or AAROM ) – Patient uses the muscles surrounding the joint to perform the exercise but requires some help from the therapist or equipment (such as a strap).

  4. Muscle energy technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_energy_technique

    Muscle energy is a direct and active technique, meaning it engages a restrictive barrier and requires the patient's participation for maximal effect. A restrictive barrier describes the limit in range of motion that prevents the patient from reaching the baseline limit in their range of motion. [5]

  5. Joint mobilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_mobilization

    The International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists defines joint mobilization as "a manual therapy technique comprising a continuum of skilled passive movements that are applied at varying speeds and amplitudes to joints, muscles or nerves with the intent to restore optimal motion, function, and/or to reduce pain." [1]

  6. Continuous passive motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_passive_motion

    Continuous passive motion (CPM) devices are used during the first phase of rehabilitation following a soft tissue surgical procedure or trauma. The goals of phase 1 rehabilitation are: control post-operative pain, reduce inflammation, provide passive motion in a specific plane of movement, and protect the healing repair or tissue.

  7. Joint manipulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_manipulation

    Temporary increase in passive range of motion (ROM). [14] Physiological effects upon the central nervous system. [15] No alteration of the position of the sacroiliac joint. [16] Common side effects of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) are characterized as mild to moderate and may include: local discomfort, headache, tiredness, or radiating ...

  8. Stretching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretching

    The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion. Stretching is also used therapeutically to alleviate cramps and to improve function in daily activities by increasing range of motion. [2] [3] In its most basic form, stretching is a natural and instinctive activity; it is performed by humans and many other ...

  9. Spinal mobilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_mobilization

    Spinal mobilization is a type of passive movement of a spinal segment or region. It is usually performed with the aim of achieving a therapeutic effect. Spinal mobilization has been described as "a gentle, often oscillatory, passive movement applied to a spinal region or segment so as gently to increase the passive range of motion of that segment or region."
