FINAL PBA Flashcards
GH - lateral distraction
EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: be mindful not to compress ribs & breast tissue
GH - posterior glide
EFFECT: increase internal rotation & flexion, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not allow humerus to externally rotate
GH - anterior glide
EFFECT: increase extension, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: anterior joint capsule loose & more lax so don’t over mobilize
GH - inferior glide (90º ABD)
EFFECT: increase ABD & flexion, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: with inferior joint instability use caution, may provoke pain
scapulothoracic - superior glide
EFFECT: increase shoulder elevation & stability, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: use soft & light pressure to prevent mm guarding
scapulothoracic - upward/ lateral rotation
EFFECT: increase lateral rotation & elevation, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: use broad & soft contact for numerous bony prominences
humeroulnar - distraction (#2)
EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: use caution with median nerve & brachial artery
humeroradial - axial distraction
EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: grasp wrist proximally, do not pull on carpal bones
proximal radioulnar - anterior glide
EFFECT: increase supination, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress radial nerve
proximal radioulnar - posterior glide
EFFECT: increase pronation, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: be mindful of median nerve & brachial artery
distal radioulnar - anterior glide
EFFECT: increase pronation of wrist & forearm, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress the radial and ulnar arteries
distal radioulnar - posterior glide
EFFECT: increase supination of wrist & forearm, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress radial & ulnar arteries
radiocarpal - distraction
EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress radial & ulnar arteries
radiocarpal - radial glide
EFFECT: increase ulnar deviation, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not squeeze carpals
radiocarpal - palmar glide
EFFECT: increase wrist extension, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not squeeze carpals, be mindful of median & ulnar nerve
