ROM exercises should be avoided in certain situations, such as:
- Acute Inflammation: During an acute inflammatory phase, ROM exercises can exacerbate the condition. - Fractures: Avoid exercises near a recent fracture until it is adequately healed. - Severe Pain: If the patient experiences severe pain during the exercises, it is best to stop and consult a healthcare provider. - Medical Contraindications: Certain medical conditions may contraindicate specific ROM exercises.
