Passive movement re-education is a therapeutic technique where the therapist assists or moves the patient’s limbs to help restore proper movement patterns and improve neuromuscular control. This technique is particularly useful for individuals with neurological conditions, muscle weakness, or those recovering from surgeries that impair motor function.
The therapist performs gentle, controlled movements that help re-educate the muscles, improve joint mobility, and encourage proper movement patterns. Passive movement re-education helps prevent joint stiffness, improve coordination, and restore normal function for individuals who have limited movement ability.
This technique is critical for individuals recovering from neurological injuries or surgeries, as it helps restore motor control, improve range of motion, and enhance functional movement.
