Range of Motion (ROM) Assessment

Range of Motion (ROM) Assessment measures how far a joint can move in various directions. It evaluates flexibility and function, helping to identify any limitations or pain in movement. This assessment is often performed by healthcare professionals using gentle stretching and joint manipulation. The results can guide rehabilitation strategies, track recovery progress, and inform exercise plans. A proper ROM can indicate good joint health, while restricted movement may suggest an injury or condition that needs attention. Overall, ROM assessments play a critical role in maintaining mobility and quality of life.
