Intro/Theory Flashcards
T/F as RMT’s we mobilize not manipulate
true
T/F mobilizations can be stopped by the patient at any time
true
_____ joints rely on laxity within the joint capsule and surrounding structures
synovial
______ movements are voluntary motions performed by the patient
osteokinematic
what happens at the joint are ______ movements
arthrokinematic
T/F arthrokinematic movements are required for movements such as adduction and abduction
true
____ occurs between joint surfaces when a new point on the moving surface contacts a new point on the stationary surface
roll
T/F roll can occur by itself
false
Roll occurs with _____ or _____
spin or slide
when you abduct the shoulder, roll is happening _____
superiorly
T/F roll always occurs in the direction the bone is moving, regardless of whether the moving surface is concave or convex
true
the glenoid fossa would be a _____ surface while the glenohumeral joint would be a _____ surface
concave, convex
_____ occurs when the same point on a moving surface contacts new points on the stationary surface
slide
T/F the direction of the slide depends on whether the moving surface is concave or convex
true
slide occurs in the ____ direction of roll if the surface is concave
same
slide occurs in the ____ direction if the surface is convex
opposite
______ occurs when the same point on a moving surface contacts the same point on a stationary surface
spin
spin happens during movements such as ______ & _______
pronation and supination
_____ occurs when there is a decrease in the space between two articulating joint surfaces, normally occurs during weight bearing
compression
T/F compression can happen when muscles contract & provide joint stability
true
T/F abnormally high compression can lead to deterioration of articular cartilage
true
_______; longitudinal pull happening along the long axis of the of the bone
traction
long axis is whatever way the bone is _____
pointing
_______; applied perpendicular to the treatment plane
distraction
______; distract and or glide the joint surfaces to decrease pain and restore normal arthrokinematics aka ROM
mobilizing
T/F distractions cannot be applied on their own
false
when possible, a grade ___ distraction is applied with a glide mobilization
one
T/F some joints you cannot distract
true
____ is when you mobilize a bone in the direction that is parallel to the treatment plane
glide
______ is what happens AT the joint _____ is what we are DOING to the joint
slide, glide
a treatment plane is a plane that lies ______ to the concave surface of the joint
parallel
there are ____ grades of sustained mobilization
3
grade (loosen) _______; gentle distraction with NO stress on the joint capsule, not to the tissue resistance
one
grade (tighten) ______; enough distraction or glide to tighten the tissues around the joint (taking up the slack)
two
grade (stretch) _____; a distraction or glide applied with an amplitude enough to place stretch on the capsule and periarticular structures beyond tissue resistance but not at the anatomical limit
three
there are ____ grades of oscillatory mobilization techniques
