RANGE OF MOTION (ROM)

ROM is a joint movement exercise performed by nurses to patients.

OBJECTIVES • Improve the level of functional mobility of the client's extremities,

• prevent contractures and muscle and tendon wasting, and

• improve blood circulation in the extremities,

• reduce immobilization vascular complications, and

• increase client comfort

POLICY • Patients with mobility problems

• Patients with joint stiffness problems

3. Set a comfortable position: lying down with the hands relaxed, the body is usually supine (lateral)

4. Wear gloves

5. Position the nurse on the right side of the patient

Active and Passive ROM Execution

a. Neck

o Place the nurse's left hand under the patient's head and the right hand on the patient's cheek/face.

o Perform the movement:

• Rotation: lower your head, turn left and right.


• Flexion and extension: move the head to touch the chest then slightly tilted head.
• Lateral flexion: move the head to the right and left until the ears and shoulders are almost
touching.

o Observation of changes that occur.


b. Shoulder

o Flexion/Extension

• Place one nurse's hand on the patient's elbow and hold the patient's hand with the other.
• Raise the patient's arm to the starting position.
• Make a movement closer to the body.
• Observe changes that occur. For example: shoulder range of motion and stiffness.

o Abduction and adduction

• Place one nurse's hand on the patient's elbow and hold the patient's hand with the other.
• Move the patient's arm away from the body toward the nurse (to the side).
• Return to original position.
• Record changes that occur. For example: the range of motion of the shoulder, the presence
of stiffness, and the presence of pain.

o Shoulder Rotation

• Position the patient's arm away from the body (to the side) with bent elbows.
• Place one nurse's hand on the patient's upper arm near the patient's elbow and hold the
patient's hand with the other.
• Rotate your shoulders with your arms down until they touch the bed.
• Return the arm to the starting position.
• Move your forearms back until they touch the bed, palms facing up.
• Return to starting position.
• Record changes that occur. For example, the range of motion of the shoulder, the presence
of stiffness, and the presence of pain.

o Flexion and Extension

• Position the patient's arm away from the side of the body and the palm facing the patient's
body.
• Place the nurse's hand on the patient's elbow and hold the patient's hand with the other hand
• Bend the patient's elbow so that the patient's hand is close to the shoulder.
• Perform and return to the previous position.
• Observe the changes that occur. For example, the range of motion in the elbow, joint stiffness,
and the presence of pain.

c. Forearm

o Pronation and Supination

• Adjust the patient's arm position with the elbow bent / straight.
• Place one nurse's hand on the patient's wrist and hold the patient's hand with the other.

• Return to starting position before pronation and supination.
• Observe the changes that occur. For example, forearm range of motion and stiffness.

d. Wrist
o Flexion and Extension

• Position the patient's arm away from the side of the body and elbow bent.
