Goal achievement for passive ROM is prevention of joint contractures. Contractures develop in joints not moved periodically through their full ROM. ROM exercises reduce the risk of contractures. Researchers noted that prompt use of splinting with prescribed ROM exercises reduced contractures and improved active range of joint motion in affected lower extremities. Deep breathing and coughing and using an incentive spirometer will help prevent atelectasis. Adequate hydration helps prevent renal calculi and urinary tract infections. Interventions aimed at prevention of pressure ulcers include positioning, skin care, and the use of therapeutic devices to relieve pressure.
