When teaching passive range-of-motion exercises, how should the caregiver hold the client's arm?

When teaching passive range-of-motion exercises, the caregiver should acknowledge that the arm is supported correctly because proper support is crucial for the safety and comfort of the client. Ensuring the arm is well-supported prevents undue strain on the joint and surrounding muscles, allowing for smoother movement and greater effectiveness of the exercise. Correct support helps maintain stability, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing the client's trust in the caregiver's actions. This support technique promotes a more relaxed state for the client, facilitating a better range of motion during the exercises. Proper handling of the limb is essential for effective rehabilitation and comfort throughout the therapy process.
