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
Extension more limited than flexion at elbow?
non capsular
Flexion more limited than extension at elbow?
capsular
what are motions that occur WITHIN the joint at the joint?
also, naturally occurring to allow movements and maintain integrity of joint and CANNOT be measured with goni
Arthrokinematics
What makes up arthrokinematics? (2 subtypes)
- Component motions (rolls, slides, spins)
- Mobilization/Manipulation (distraction grades 1-3 and glides 1-5)
Joint play and accessory motions (compression and distraction) make up what type or motions)
component motions (slides, rolls, spins)
Distractions and glides make up with type of movement?
Manipulation/Mobilization
-Incongruent joint surface
Rolling
Characteristics of Rolling?
- incongruent joint surface
- new surface meets new surface of opposing
- always occur in the same direction of “swinging” bone
Which direction does a roll occur?
-always in direction of swinging bone
Congruent joint surface (or flat or curved)
Sliding
Characteristics of Sliding?
- congruent surface
- same pt on one surface contacts different point on opposing side
- direction of slide depends on concave or context surface
When the concave portion of a bone is moved on a convex surface what direction is the slide?
same direction as the motion
When the convex portion of a bone is moved on a concave surface what direction is the slide?
opposite direction of motion
Concave-Convex Rule
Concave motion=same slide
Convex motion=opposite slide
If the surface is more congruent is there more sliding or rolling?
sliding
if the surface is more INCONGRUENT is there more sliding or rolling?
Rolling
What controls sliding movements?
muscles
What type of component motion is a rotation about a stationary mechanical axis?
Spin, arc is created as it spin
