    ACTIVITY- Range of Motion

    Student will carry out movements slowly and smoothly, just to the point of resistance;
    ROM should not cause pain. Do not perform hyperextension. Never force a joint beyond
    its capacity. Each movement needs to be repeated 3-5 times during the session
    If an extremity is to be moved or lifted in PROM, place a cupped hand under the joint to
    support it, support the joint by holding the adjacent distal and proximal areas, or
    support the joint with one hand and cradle the distal portion of the extremity with the
    remaining arm.

    Shoulder (Ball and socket)


    Flexion: Raise arm from side position forward to position above head.
    Extension: Return arm to position at side of body.
    Abduction: Raise arm to side to position above head with palm away from head.
    Adduction: Lower arm sideways and across body as far as possible.
    Internal rotation: With elbow flexed, rotate shoulder by moving arm until thumb is turned
    inward & toward back.
    External rotation: With elbow flexed, move arm until thumb is upward and lateral to head.
    Circumduction: Move arm in full circle (Circumduction is combination of all movements of
    ball-and-socket joint.)

    Elbow (Hinge)
    Flexion: Bend elbow so lower arm moves toward its shoulder joint and hand is level with
    shoulder.
    Extension: Straighten elbow by lowering hand.

    Forearm (Pivotal)
    Supination: Turn lower arm and hand so palm is up.
    Pronation: Turn lower arm so palm is down.
