Range of motion
The range through which a joint can be moved, usually flexion and extension. Due to an injury, the knee may, for example, lack 10 degrees of full extension. It can also refer to movement of joints by a therapist or nurse through their range of motion to preserve function for those on prolonged bedrest.
