Active movement facilitation is a rehabilitation technique where therapists guide and assist individuals in performing specific movements to enhance motor control, coordination, and functional movement. It is commonly used for individuals with neurological conditions, such as stroke or cerebral palsy, or those recovering from surgery.

During active movement facilitation, the therapist provides hands-on assistance or cues to help the patient initiate, control, and complete a movement. The goal is to improve the patient’s ability to perform the movement independently by reinforcing correct motor patterns.

Active movement facilitation is essential for restoring normal motor function, improving movement efficiency, and promoting independence in individuals recovering from injury or neurological conditions.
