Performing passive exercises requires careful technique to avoid injury. Here are some general guidelines:
Gentle Movements: Always move the joints gently and slowly to prevent discomfort or injury. Support the Limb: Use one hand to stabilize the joint and the other hand to move the limb. Range of Motion: Move the joint through its full range of motion, but do not force it beyond its natural limits. Communication: If the patient is conscious, communicate with them to ensure they are comfortable and not experiencing pain.
