Is the following true or false? Passive range of motion exercise is for the prevention of contractures in patients with paralyzed limbs.

The correct answer to this question is true. These exercises help a person's joints stay flexible and help their joints move by using full range of motion. The term range of motion refers to how far a person's joints can move in different directions. There are many benefits to doing passive range of motion exercises.

Doing them everyday can help prevent contractures, which are joints and muscles that are severely tightened. While the exercises can be done in any order, it is best to do them slow, smooth, and gently, as fast movement can cause more harm. One shouldn't do any passive range of motion exercises that cause pain. They should only move the joint as far as it will go.
