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.

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.
active sufficiency is the inability of a muscle to shorten enough to cause full range of motion simultaneously at both joints it passes whereas passive insufficiency is the inability to further lengthen to provide full range of motion at both joints.
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.
Active range of motion is that motion performed voluntarily by a patient and is subjective in nature as the patient can move the body part as far or as little as they wish. Passive range of motion, which is that motion of a body part performed by an examiner is objective as the voluntary restriction of the motion is less likely to be influenced by the patient being examined.

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.
The inability of a muscle that spans two or more joints to be stretched sufficiently to produce a full range of motion in all the joints simultaneously.
It means the motion of range in action
