Question

define active and passive movements ?

Answer 1

Active vs Passive. Your active and passive range of motion may be very different, not only from each other, but also at the joints themselves. Active range of motion means you move a joint through its range of motion, orROM. Passive range of motion involves someone else moving a joint for you.

Answer 2

heya mate :)

Passive Range of Motion (or PROM) - Therapist or equipment moves the joint through the range of motion with no effort from the patient. ... Active Range of Motion (or AROM) - Patient performs the exercise to move the joint without any assistance to the muscles surrounding the joint.
