Following a stroke, exercises are rehabilitative and aims to increase range of motion to reduce risk of fall injuries. There are several categories of exercise :Stretching, resistance training, weight bearing exercise, and active and passive range of motion exercises.
Improve your flexibility and range of motion (helps prevent injuries) by doing strength exercises with a full range of motion, unless you are in rehabilitation. Rehab exercises are done to restore your full range of motion. It is a misconception that strength training makes your body's muscles tight and inflexible. This won't happen if you consistently improve your joints' range of motion and perform exercises with full range of motion. You can be strong and flexible. Doing regular stretching and flexibility exercises also improves your range of motion.
Range of motion exercises move each muscle and joint.
no contracture
Range of motion exercises help maintain normal joint function by increasing and preserving joint mobility and flexibility.
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.
Hypermobility.
help to improve joint function by focusing on range of motion exercises. The goal of these exercises is to gently increase range of motion while decreasing pain, swelling, and stiffness. There are three types of range of motion exercises:Passive range of motion (or PROM) - Therapist or equipment moves the joint through the range of motion with no effort from the patient.Active assistive 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).Active range of motion (or AROM) - Patient performs the exercise to move the joint without any assistance to the muscles surrounding the jointDevi C Khatiwada
Active Range of Motion exercises are primarily used to improve joint function. These exercises can help you move each joint through its full range of motion and help with pain. While you may see some strength increase, that is not the primarily use of these types of exercises.
