>Definition of ROM >Providing reading Range of motion (ROM) exercises is done to preserve flexibility and mobility of the material; brief one-on-one joints on which they are performed. Range of motion is the term that is used to discussion describe the amount of movement you have at each joint. Every joint in the body has a "normal" range of motion. Joints maintain their normal range of motion by being moved. It is therefore very important to move all your joints every day. Stiff joints can cause pain and can make it hard for you to do your normal daily activities. It is important to remember that as the disease progresses, the type of ROM exercises you will need will change. It is important to be proactive. > Importance of ROM preserve flexibility and mobility of the joints on which they are performed reduce stiffness prevent or at least slow down the freezing of your joints as the disease progresses > Providing reading material; brief one-on-one discussion

>Instant Oral Feedback: Clients will correctly define ROM using own words.

b. Give the importance of ROM.

>Instant Oral Feedback: Clients will be able to give the importance of ROM using own words. >Instant Oral Feedback: Clients will be able to differentiate the active ROM from passive ROM exercises. >Instant Oral Feedback: Clients will be able to enumerate general instructions of passive and active range of motion

c. Differentiate the active and passive ROM exercises.

> Difference of Active and Passive ROM exercises Active ROM exercises The stretching exercises you can do yourself when you still have the muscle strength to move your joints through their complete ranges. Passive ROM exercises The stretching exercises that you cannot do by yourself because of the weak muscle strength to move your joints through their complete ranges, thus, needs someone to do it for you.

> Providing reading material; brief one-on-one discussion

d. Enumerate general instructions of passive and active range of motion.

General instructions: Ideally, these exercises should be done once per day. Do each exercise 10 times or move to the point of resistance and hold for 30seconds. Begin exercises slowly, doing each exercise a few times only and gradually build up to more. Try to achieve full range of motion by moving until you feel a slight stretch, but don't force a movement. Move only to the point of resistance. Do not force the movement. Keep limbs supported throughout motion. Move slowly, watching the patient's face for response to ROM.
