Demonstration should include

• describing how ROM is assessed (e.g., goniometer, inclinometer, sit-and-reach box)

• employing stretching techniques
• describing adaptive exercise or activity options for people with disabilities.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What is a progressive routine to increase joint ROM?
