What is PROM an example of?

  1. Flexion

  2. Extension

  3. Allergic reaction

  4. Medication type

The correct answer is: Flexion

PROM stands for passive range of motion, which is a type of physical therapy exercise used to improve joint mobility and flexibility. Flexion refers to bending a joint, which is what is being done in PROM exercises. Extension, on the other hand, refers to straightening a joint and is not an example of what PROM is used for. An allergic reaction would not be considered an example of PROM. As for medication type, while medication may be used in conjunction with physical therapy, PROM itself is not a type of medication.
