Categories of Human Movement
Angular, Circular, Special to Ankle, Special to Shoulder, Major Muscle Groups
Example: Human movement can be categorized into different types such as angular, circular, and special movements.
Types of Angular Movement
Extension, Flexion, Abduction, Adduction, Circumduction
Example: Extension involves straightening and increasing the angle of a joint.
Types of Circular Movement
Rotation (Medial + Lateral)
Example: Rotation involves moving or turning the body medially or laterally along the body axis.

Muscles Work in Pairs
Bicep + Tricep, Flexor + Extensor
Example: Bending the arm involves the bicep flexing and the tricep extending/relaxing.
(ROM) Range of Motion
measurement of amount of motion available at joint (distance + direction)
Passive ROM (PROM)
joint movement done by therapist
Active ROM (AROM)
joint movement done by patient
Active-Assistive ROM (A-AROM)
patient contracts muscles but normal / uninjured side tested first
- warn patient movement may worsen symptoms
- give patient clear instructions before starting test
- perform as many tests in one position before moving patient
- active tests done before passive tests
- any painful movements assessed last to avoid pain overload
- never stress/push beyond point of pain
