Definition
•Movement is a fundamental characteristic
of all animal life and the means by which
the organism adapts itself to the demands
made upon it by the environment in which
it lives.

Classification
•Passive Movement
•Active Movement

Passive movement
•Relaxed passive movement including
accesory movemnts
•Passive manual mobilisation techniques.

Active Movements
•Voluntary-Assisted,Free,Assisted-Resisted
& Resisted
•Involuntary-Reflex

Active exercise
Definition
Movement performed or controlled by the
voluntary action of muscles, working in
opposition to an external force.
Satish k Pimpale
Classication
•Free exs : the working muscles are
subject on ly to the forces of gravity acting
upon the part moved or stabillised.
•Assisted exs : whwn muscle strength or
co-ordination is inadequate to perform a
movement an external force is applied to
compensate fo rthe deficiency.
Satish k Pimpale
•Assisted Ressisted exs : muscles may
be strong enough to work against
resistance in part of the range and not in
others.this type of exercise ensures that
the external force applied are adapted in
every part of the range to the abilities of
the muscles.
•Ressisted exs : forces of resitance
offered to the action of the working
muscles.
