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.

What is the Difference between active and passive insufficiency?
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.
What is difference between active transport and passive transport?
One difference is energy consumption. Active transport requires the cell to expend energy, while passive transport does not. Active transport is movement from a lower concentration to a higher concentration and passive transport is movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expended by the cell. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. Active transport requires ATP to transport materials. Passive transport does not require ATP input to transport materials. Ex: diffusion
What are the types of motion in physical therapy?
Movements can be classified into active and passive movement, active movement is performed voluntarily by the person, passive movement is involuntary and it is performed by the therapist.
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.
Stretching in both active and passive ranges of motion is highly effective in?
protecting the joint
What is the difference between a passive sensor and an active sensor in a DDC?
Passive sensors; send information back to the controller in terms of resistance/ohms. The active sensor will send information back to the controller in terms of Milliamps, mA or Volts . HVAC/R
What is the difference between shmand non shm?
The difference between simple harmonic motion and harmonic motion is SHM is a periodic motion.
What is the difference between a passive sensor and an active sensor?
active sensors are sensors that transmit some kind of energy ( microwave , sound , light , .... ) into the environment in order to detect the changes that occur on the transmitted energy . That means it transmits and detect at the same time . But passive sensors don't transmit energy but only detects the energy transmitted from an energy source, e.g. motion detectors which are mostly passive infrared sensors.

What is the difference between oscillatory motion and circular motion?
Please give me the answer
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.
What is the difference between bulk motion and diffusion?
The difference between the two is that bulk motion is the flow through the capillary. Diffusion is the movement of the molecules in a fluid.Ê
