Shoulder Joint Stabilization

Range of motion (ROM) refers to the full movement potential of a joint, usually measured in degrees of a circle. It is crucial for assessing joint function, diagnosing injuries, and planning rehabilitation or exercise programs to improve flexibility and prevent injury.

Range Of Motion

Joint integrity refers to the condition and functionality of a joint, ensuring it operates within its intended parameters without failure or excessive wear. It is crucial for the safety, efficiency, and longevity of mechanical systems, requiring regular inspection and maintenance to prevent catastrophic failures.
