how is rom incorporated
OM is best incorporated into the regular daily care of the immobile patient
60
when should rom be performed
should be performed atleast 3-4 times daily.

why does incorporating rom into bathing work
because the warm water relaxes the muscles andjoints to get maximum motion.
62
how often will the immobile patient need to be turned
minimum of every 2 hours
63
what does performing rom on the side that the patient has been lying on do
will enhance mobility and circulation on thatside.
64
back rubs in conjuction with rom
elp alleviate muscle and joint tension
