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.
Exercises that put each joint through its full arc of motion are called "full range of motion exercises" or "joint mobility exercises." These exercises help improve flexibility, mobility, and overall joint health by moving the joint through its complete range of movement.
Flexibility-a joint's capacity to travel through a full range of motion.
ROM is the shorthand way of saying Range of Motion. ROM usually means the movement one has in a joint, and is observed by moving the joint through the extremes of movement possible without causing pain. Massage and physical therapy, as well as some chiropractic procedures, can improve the range and strength of a joint.

Moving our arms in a circular motion is possible due to the structure and range of motion of our shoulder joints. The knee joint, however, is a hinge joint designed primarily for flexion and extension, limiting its ability to move in a circular motion. The ligaments and tendons surrounding the knee joint also restrict its range of motion compared to the shoulder joint.
Continuous passive motion (CPM) devices are typically used after joint surgery to promote healing and improve range of motion. The device moves the joint through a controlled range of motion continuously, without the need for the patient to actively move the joint. Patients can adjust the speed and range of motion based on their comfort level and rehabilitation goals.
Hypermobility is the term meaning excessive joint range of motion.
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
The maximum angle through which a joint can move is influenced by factors such as the type of joint, the surrounding anatomical structures, and individual flexibility. Generally, a healthy joint can move within a specific range of motion, which varies between individuals. The maximum angle is limited by the joint's anatomical structure and the integrity of the supporting ligaments and muscles.
Ehlers Danlos is the medical condition primarily defined by increased joint range of motion.
