Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During AROM or active range of motion, the client moves the structure under their own conscious power. The therapist observes the movement without helping the client in order to assess the range of motion of selected structures. AROM is easy to remember. The first word, active, refers to the client's involvement. They are "actively" performing ROM.
