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.

Is range of motion testing subjective or objective?
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.

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.
The primary purpose for range of motion exercises is to prevent?
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

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.
