Adjustive mechanics and psychomotor skills, adjusting localization

Question 1

What is the principle of adjusting localizations?

Answer 1

isolating a specific motion segment for manipulation. Improves specificity and efficiency and establishes a given joint as the weak limit

Question 2

What factors effect adjusting localization (pre-adjustive tension)?

Answer 2

Reduction of articular slack
stabilization & counter-stabilization
Joint locking
adjustive contact points
Adjustive thrust vector

Question 3

What is the reason for reducing articular slack?

Answer 3

reduce joint play

increase pre-tension

Question 4

Is patient positioning necessary for defining assisted and resisted methods?

Answer 4

nope
