Bewegungsbereichen
Bewegungsbereichen, a German term, translates to "range of motion" in English and refers to the extent of movement of a joint. It is a crucial concept in physiotherapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation. This range is typically measured in degrees and is determined by the anatomical structure of the joint, the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons, as well as the individual's flexibility.
There are two primary types of range of motion: active and passive. Active range of motion (AROM)
