What is an active range of motion?
Active range of motion is when a joint is moved through its range with the person moving the joint him or herself. Passive range of motion is when something besides the muscles of the joint does the moving. So if I were to bend someone else's knee (and they didn't help) it would be passive range of motion. But if the person just moves his or her joint, then it is active.
What is the difference between active range of motion and passive range of motion?
Your range of motion is the usual movements of your arms and legs and joints. Swinging your arm in a circle. Bending and straightening your elbows and knees and hips. Moving your hands and feet up and down. Wiggling your fingers. Active range of motion (AROM) is when you move your arm or leg, etc. You contract and release your muscles yourself. Passive range of motion is usually provided to patients that are bedbound or weak, example a stroke or dementia patient. It can be provided by anyone (family, nurse, nurse aid, physical therapist). It is where you take the persons arm or leg, hand or foot, and you move the appendage in a way that would simulate usual movement. The purpose of passive range of motion (PROM) is to prevent contracture, or the stiffening of joints and muscles, and slow muscle wasting. Passive range of motion would not generally build muscle, but it is good for someone who is unable to perform active range of motion.
Inversion of Four-bar mechanism?
Inversion of a mechanism is done by fixing a different link each time and studying the motion of the other links therefore.
What is inversion of mechanism?
Inversion of a kinematic linkage or mechanism is observing the motion of the members of the mechanism with fixing different links as reference frame. Each time when a different link is chose as the frame link the mechanism shows different characteristics of the motion.

What is successful Outcome of passive range motion?
no contracture
Is diffusion passive or active transport?
Diffusion is passive, it happens everywhere whether living things are involved or not. It results from the natural thermal motion of particles.
Is passive range of motion exercises for the prevention of contractures in paralyzed patients?
No
What are the two types of passive transport?
Simple diffusion and Brownian motion
Where can one find the definition of continuous passive motion?
Wikipedia is a site that gives information about a wide range of devices in the medical field. The site explains what a continuous passive motion device does in the physical therapy field.
What is responsible for motion in humans?
muscles and bones
Are Passive range of motion exercises for the prevention of contractures in patients with paralyzed limbs?
No
