How are Passive Range of Motion Exercises Performed?
To perform PROM exercises, a nurse or caregiver gently moves the patient's joint through its full range of motion. This should be done slowly and carefully to avoid causing pain or injury. Key points to consider include:
Properly supporting the joint during movement. Maintaining a slow and steady pace to ensure comfort and safety. Monitoring the patient's response to detect any signs of discomfort or pain.
