The therapist takes a client’s leg into flexion at the coxal joint to the point of slight unease. Then the therapist instructs the client to push against her shoulder while she remains in the same position, never giving way to the force provided by the client. This is an example of:
Active resistive range of motion Explanation: At the point of instruction, the client actively moves the leg against the resistance provided by the therapist, therefore active resistive range of motion is performed. With passive range of motion, the therapist moves the limb with no help from the client. With active, the client solely moves the joint. With active assistive range of motion, the client moves the limb with the help of the therapist.
