APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The movement produced by the contraction of muscle is called active movement whereas movement produced by external force is known as passive movement. The active exercise is the repetition of active movement which requires muscle contraction to produce and control any movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Active range of motion (AROM) is the ROM that can be achieved when opposing muscles contract and relax, resulting in joint movement. For example, the active range of motion to allow the elbow to bend requires the biceps to contract while the triceps muscle relaxes.

Detailed explanation-3: -So physical activity such as moving about the house, doing some stretches or going for a walk helps your body to maintain good joint and muscle mobility and strength, improve circulation, promote bone, ligament and tendon strength, and help prevent major diseases.

Detailed explanation-4: -It can be passive or active. Passive range of motion can be defined as what is achieved when an outside force, such as a therapist, causes movement of a joint. It is usually the maximum range of motion. Active range of motion is what can be achieved when opposing muscles contract and relax, resulting in joint movement.
