Into to Mobilization Flashcards
What techniques are used to modulate pain and treat joint impairments that limit ROM by addressing altered mechanics of the joint?
Manual Therapy
5 reasons we would alter the mechanics of a joint?
- pain
- muscle guarding
- joint effusion
- contractures
- adhesions
What type of technique is applied to joints and soft tissue?
skilled and passive
a manual therapy technique comprising of continuum of skilled passive movements to the joints and or soft tissue that are applied at various speeds and amps
mobilization/manipulation
manipulations that do not involve thrust
non-thrust manipulation
a high velocity, low amp movement within or at end of ROM
thrust manipulation
What are the 4 indications of manipulation?
- safe and effective means to restore joint play
- to decrease pain
- **must be part of comprehensive exam of joint
- **must be part of comprehensive POC
What is osteopathy?
- body as a unit
- structure and function are reciprocally interrelated
- self-regulatory mechanisms
What is joint play?
quality of motion in joint (Mennell)
What is the study of motion?
Kinematics
What is osteokinematics?
voluntary movement of body part around the joint or fixed axis
- measurable with goni (active and passive)
- gross movements of body parts
What two types of movement make up kinematics?
- osteokinematics
- arthrokinematics
What are two types of movements within osteokinematics (sub of kinematics)?
- Active joint motion
- Passive joint motion
Describe end feel?
“feel” of tissues when passive motion is extended to the end of the joints ROM through overpressure
what is the quality of resistance at the end range of joint motion?
End Feel
What type of barrier is found in the end movement of ACTIVE motion in a joint?
physiological barrier
What are the three main uses of active ROM
- determine joint range
- determine flexibility
- determine muscle function
What type of barrier is found in end range of PROM?
anatomical barrier
what are the two main uses of PROM?
- contrast with AROM
- determine nature of end feel
Three types of NORMAL end ranges?
- soft tissue approx. (knee flexion)
- tissue stretch (dorsiflex)
- bone to bone (elbow ext)
7 Abnormal End Ranges
- empty
- early or late muscle spasm
- capsular
- bone to bone
- springy
- muscle spasticity
patterns of limitation in ROM or restriction of movement which is a result of total joint reaction and involves specific limitations in motion?
Capsular Pattern
Two types of limitation in motion at the joint?
Capsular and Non capsular
ROM limitations that do not correspond to the classic capsular pattern for the joint?
Non capsular pattern
