Exercises Teaching 556
Patient was instructed on Passive exercises or ROM exercises. All exercises are done smoothly and gently. Never force, jerk or over-stretch a muscle. This can hurt the muscle or joint instead of helping. Move the joint slowly. This is especially important when having muscle spasms. ROM exercises should never cause pain or go beyond the normal movement of the joint. Stop them if the person feels pain.
