Range of Motion (ROM) is the potential movement a joint can move in various directions or planes.
It can be active (AROM): Movement is performed by the individual. It can be passive (PROM): Movement is applied outside of the individual. For the purpose of adapting Alive Activities, it will be assumed that the OT will use clinical judgement in the type of ROM. Unless otherwise stated, the activity can be implemented using both AROM and PROM.

Muscle strength is a muscle’s capacity to exert force against resistance. Endurance refers to the ability to perform a specific muscular action for a prolonged period of time.

The Roadmap to a Comprehensive Sensory Assessment
AOTA Approved LIVE Course
Includes FREE 75-page Digital Binder: Effective Sensory Processing Assessment Tools as well as many other resources and tools
You will learn:
-
Basic sensory integration principles, typical and atypical sensory functioning, and the effects on occupational performance.
-
Pertinent information of a child’s sensory functioning, such as sensory history, developmental milestones, barriers to occupational performance, and environmental context, to compose an appropriate occupational profile.
-
Clinical reasoning skills and the ability to synthesize information about the occupational profile will drive the selection of tasks, assessments, and clinical observations to measure the quality of occupational performance.
-
The ability to select specific sensory formal evaluations to measure the quality of performance and effectiveness of skills and patterns when participating in occupations.
-
The ability to select specific clinical observations to measure the quality of performance and effectiveness of skills and patterns when participating in occupations.
-
To interpret and analyze assessment data to successfully identify strengths, deficits, and environmental barriers of sensory occupational performance.
-
To develop the desired outcome of interventions, establish appropriate measurable goals, and determine progress monitoring procedures.
