The prosthesis allows for a natural range of motion for the patient.

The maximum length of the articular capsule which allows or limits a certain articular amplitude.

Maintains or improves your level of joint flexibility.

When talking about stretching, it is also necessary to refer to joint mobility (also known as: articulation, flexibility, extensibility, etc.).

The maximum length of muscles and tendons which allows or limits a certain articular amplitude.

These stretches are performed actively in a range of motion that mimics the sporting movement of the activity to come.

In particular, a decline with age is observed in maximum muscular strength and range of joint movement.

Range of Motion (ROM) - the physical therapist will move the joint(s) to check for the quality of movement and any restrictions.

This is done to monitor if contractures or joint tightening is developing and to help to guide what stretches or interventions will be most helpful.

Moving well requires a combination of mobility (flexibility and range of motion within the joints) and stability (motor control and postural musculature).

Stretching in warm water promotes greater range of motion as ligaments, tendons and muscles will offer less resistance.

Stretching in warm water promotes greater range of motion as ligaments, tendons and muscles will offer less resistance.

This can be seen as a protective response, which prevents excessive range of motion or sudden movements that can cause re-injury.
