Which of the following correctly explains the difference between active and passive ROM?
Active range of motion means the athlete moves the joint through its ROM. Passive range of motion involves the medical professional moving a joint for the athlete.
Passive range of motion means the athlete moves the joint through its ROM. Active range of motion involves the medical professional moving a joint for the athlete.
Active and passive can be used interchangeably.
None of these are correct.
When testing a shoulder movement should you test passively, actively or both?

Which of the following best describes how to test shoulder internal rotation ROM?
Position: seated upright
Step 1: Ask the athlete to place one hand behind their back.
Step 2: Have the athlete raise their hand as high as possible (keeping it behind the back). Repeat 1 & 2 on the other side.
Step 3: Note any difference in ROM (levels and quality) between the involved and uninvolved side.
Step 4: Note any pain the athlete may feel.
Position: seated upright
Step 1: Have the athlete place one hand behind the head.
Step 2: Instruct them to reach for the opposite shoulder blade. (repeat 1 & 2 with the other hand).
Step 3: Note any difference in ROM (levels and quality) between the involved and uninvolved side.
Step 4: Note any pain the athlete may feel.
To test the ROM in shoulder internal rotation ask the athlete to perform these movements through a pain free ROM.
Compare the uninvolved side to the involved side noting any differences and/or pain.
These tests can be performed actively and passively.
