A
Each movement should be repeated five times during an exercise period. Be sure that ROM exercises are performed slowly and gently. When performing active-assisted or passive ROM exercises, support the joint by holding the distal portion of the extremity, or by using a cupped hand to support the joint. Discontinue exercise if the patient complains of discomfort, or if you note resistance or muscle spasm.
