For neonates with conditions like [cerebral palsy](), [muscular dystrophy](), or [brachial plexus palsy](), maintaining joint flexibility and muscle length is crucial. These exercises can prevent [contractures]()—a permanent shortening of a muscle or joint—thereby enhancing the infant's ability to perform daily activities. ROM exercises also stimulate [neuromuscular]() development and improve blood flow, which is essential for the growing tissues.
