RANGE OF MOTION

OVERVIEW

Range of motion testing provides an objective view of how effectively an individual can move a joint through its available movement range. Measuring joint mobility can reveal restrictions, asymmetries and muscular imbalances that may influence movement quality, physical performance or injury risk.

By capturing the extent and quality of joint movement, testing can establish an individual baseline and provide measurable data for comparison over time. Identifying restricted or uneven movement can also help highlight areas requiring greater mobility, strength or movement control.

ROM testing has applications across sport, fitness, rehabilitation and clinical environments, supporting practitioners in understanding an individual’s physical capacity and movement limitations. Repeated measurements can be used to monitor progress throughout a training or rehabilitation program and provide objective information when considering progression back to normal activity or sport.

The results provide a clear and measurable reference for developing targeted interventions, tracking improvements and supporting more informed decisions around movement, performance and recovery.
