What does Active Assisted Range of Motion (AAROM) involve?

  1. Exercises done without any help

  2. Exercises with complete assistance

  3. Exercises done by the resident with some assistance

  4. Exercises focused on passive movement only

The correct answer is: Exercises done by the resident with some assistance

Active Assisted Range of Motion (AAROM) specifically involves exercises that a resident performs with some assistance. This method allows individuals to engage their muscles and joints actively while receiving support to complete the full range of motion. The assistance can come from a caregiver or a therapist, which is crucial for individuals who may not have the strength or capability to perform the movements entirely on their own. AAROM helps in maintaining and improving flexibility, coordination, and overall physical function, promoting independence while ensuring safety during exercise. In contrast, the other options do not accurately capture the essence of AAROM: it is not solely passive, does not require complete assistance, and is not focused on exercises done without help.
