E2-Joint Mobs/Manips, Neck P! - WAD Flashcards
What is a direct and parallel joint mobilization
Parallel to joint surface- indirection of glides
At or toward point of limitation with more chronic and painless limitations
What is an indirect mobilization
Away from point of limitation in a parallel direction or possibly a perpendicular direction (aka distraction) from the joint surface
What is an indication for an indirect mobilization
Acute/painful limitation like an intra articular inclusion like a loose body
Fixated hypermobility/instability- small drawer big hole
What is the tissue integrity/Rx for P! Constant or with all accessory motions
Acute and POLICED
What is the tissue integrity/Rx for some painless accessory motion/before point of limitation
Acute/ Grade1/2 JM in neutral

Often mild/transient soreness like exercise
Less than medications
What are the serious events of Grade 5 JM
Fractures
Neurological/vascular compromise
Disc herniation
What should we do before manipulation
- Compression test of each spinal segment
- Slump test
- Compress hand along chest for recoil
If RT is limited even with FLX to the same side, what is indicated, why, and Rx
Ipsilateral OA jt
Occiput is put posterior and then more posterior
Glide C1 anterior and upward while stabilizing Occiput
If RT is limited even in EXT to the same side, what is indicated, why, and RX
Contralateral OA jt
Occiput is put anterior of the opposite side and then more anterior
Scoop the bowl of contralateral side
If RT is limited even in FLX and EXT, what is indicated, why, and RX
AA jt
RT is no worse
Ipsilateral- Stand opposite of affected side, SB ipsilateral side, stabilize Occiput/C1 and push C2 up the slide
Contralateral- stand opposite of affected side, SB contralateral side to stabilize Occiput, then glide C1 inferiorly and anteriorly with C2 stabilized
If SB is limited and worse in FLX, what is indicated, why, and Rx
Cervical contralateral Z jt.
SAL is put anterior and then more anterior
JM Z jt superiorly
If SB is limited and worse in EXT, what is indicated, why, and Rx
Cervical ipsilateral Z jt
IMP is put posteriorly and then more posterior
JM of Z jt more inferiorly
If SB is limited and remains restricted in FLX and EXT, what is indicated, why, Rx
Indicates U jt
Both FLX and EXT are restricted meaning not Z jt
Posterior and anterior JM on affected side U jt
If pt demonstrates during their scan neck RT but at the end SBs, what is restricted and what test is indicated
Upper thoracic region
Manubrial Test
What is general Rx for hypomobility
Mobilize area for motion
If the upper thoracic is hypomobile, what can it lead to
Hypermobile lower cervical region
Why address adjacent jts
The hypermobile region can make other jts hypermobile to compensate for the absence of movement
Why is hypermobility painful
The axis of motion is less controlled
What is the general Rx for hypermobile jts
Stabilize the jts by working the smaller deeper muscles closer to the joint
What facet jts favor all motions in the frontal and transverse planes and why
C2-7
The 45 degree angle allows the jts to move equally
What do the facet jts in the upper thoracic favor and why
Mostly frontal plane- SB
the facets are more vertical allowing for easy SB but the ribs limit that motion
What are the variables for stabilization
Jt integrity
Passive stiffness
Neural input
Muscle function
What is controlled mobility
More of the deeper smaller muscles controlling the mobility of the jt
Once a passive, non contractile tissue has healed, how do we make the jt more stable
By improving muscle function and creating more control of the smaller/deeper muscles
What are the characteristics of local muscles
Closer to axis
Often deeper
Stabilization
Tonic, postural
Aerobic
What are the characteristics for global muscles
Farther from axis
Superficial
Rotatory
Spurt muscles
Anaerobic
What muscles have a higher rate of injury
Rotators and multifidus
What muscles increase contraction of multifidus
Pelvic floor and transverse abdominus
What does pain, swelling, jt. Laxity, and disuse cause for local muscles
Decreased and delayed motor activation
Inhibition of type 1
Load supply is lowered leading to easily overworked muscles
Muscle atrophy
Increase stress on non contractile tissue
Why does pain, swelling, inflammation, and disuse cause increase stress on non contractile tissues
the force of the global muscles can end up damaging structures around the jt. because stabilization isn’t there to manage the force. therefore putting stress on noncontractile tissues
what does pain, laxity, inflammation, swelling, and disuse do to global muscles
increased and insufficient motor activity- overcompensate
decrease cervical proprioception
atrophy/fatty infiltration
fiber transformation
why is fiber transformation important when a jt has pain, swelling, laxity or disuse
the muscles loses their purpose
endurance is lost therefore integrity
what percentage of muscle activation is needed for sufficient stability and to improve endurance
30%
the patient doesnt need to go to the gym, they just need to do 30% of their muscle contraction to improve muscle function

viscerogenic

nervous tissue compromise
radicular
