Description

This Open Educational Resource (OER) is designed to enhance your understanding of Range Of Motion (ROM) and Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), two foundational skills for occupational therapy practitioners. These assessments are critical for evaluating a client’s movement and functional abilities during occupational performance, guiding intervention planning, and clinical decision-making.

The goal of this supplemental lab manual is to provide clear, affordable, accessible content that supports hands-on learning and supplements classroom teaching. Occupational therapy students can use this OER to assist with practical application. This resource helps students build competence and confidence in performing ROM and MMT assessments accurately as they prepare for their class lab practicals. This OER allows students the ability to access the information through digital access anytime.

This OER site reinforces content taught in the lab portion of the OTHN 334 class, with step-by-step instructions, visuals, and embedded YouTube videos.
