Range of Motion Exercises
Range of motion (ROM) exercises are a complex care task approved under the MSA-1904. Trained caregivers perform passive or active-assistive ROM exercises to prevent contractures, maintain flexibility, and improve circulation.
What This Includes
- Passive ROM for all major joints (shoulders, hips, knees, ankles)
- Active-assistive ROM when the care recipient can partially participate
- Following the prescribed exercise protocol from the care plan
- Slow, controlled movements within comfortable range
- Monitoring for pain, stiffness, or resistance
- Documenting exercise completion and any concerns
Who This Helps
- Individuals with paralysis or limited voluntary movement
- People at risk of contractures from prolonged bed rest
- Those recovering from stroke with affected limbs
- Seniors with severe arthritis or joint stiffness
