Intro to Manual Therapy Flashcards
a passive mvmt performed by PT at various speeds and amplitudes
mobilization/manipulation
4 types of mobilization/manipulation
- oscillatory
- sustained
- manip
- mob w/ mvmt
3 types of passive ST mob
friction massage
Instrument assisted STM (grastin)
positional release
3 types of active ST mob
contract-relax
reciprocal inhibition
muscle energy
what is the purpose of neural tissue mob
improve mobility of dura mater, n roots or peripheral n
what are the 4 functional classificaitons of synovial joints
- unmodified ovoid
- modified ovoid
- unmodified sellar
- modified sellar
how many DOF does an unmodified ovoid joint have?
list some examples
3DoF
- ball and socket, triaxial
- hip and shoulder
how many DoF does a modified ovoid have?
examples
2 DoF
- ellipsoid, biaxial
- MCP joints
How many DoF does an unmodified sellar joint have
examples?
2 DoF
saddle, biaxial
1st CMC
how many DoF does a modified sellar joint have?
examples?
1 DoF
hinge, uniaxial
IP and elbow joint
what are the 2 types of accessory motions
component and articular/arthrokinematic
motions accompany active motion but not under voluntary comtrol
component/coupled motion
motions that occur b/w joint surfaces
articular/arthrokinematic/accessory motions
new points on one joint surface meet new points on another surface when joint surfaces are incongruent
roll
one bone segment rotates around a fixed axis
spin
one joint surface moves across another so the same point on one surface always contacts a new point on the other surface
glide/slide
2 joint surfaces approximate each other
compression
2 joint surfaces are separated
distraction
position when the peri-articular structures are most lax and allowing the greatest motion
resting / open-packed position
what do we use the open-packed position for
- evaluate joint play and end feel
- relaxation, stretch and joint mob
joint position when the capsule and ligaments are the tightest with maximal contact b/w joint surfaces
close-packed position
what do we use close-packed position for
stabilize the joint, test ligament integrity
a plane perpendicular to a line running from the axis of rotation to the middle of the concave articular surface
treatment plane
traction and compression is applied in a direction that is ______ to the treatment plane
perpendicular
glides are performed in a direction that is _________ to the treatment plane
paraller
what 2 effects are we attempting to generate when we mobilize or manipulate
- neurophysiological effects
- mechanical effects
5 indications of joint mob/manip
- decrease pain, m guarding/spasm
- reversible joint hypomobility
- positional fault (sublux)
- progressive limitation
- functional immobility
what is the #1 contraindication of manual therapy
pt denies treatment
what 2 end feels can not have manual therapy
empty end feel
spasm end feel
caution or contraindication for manual therapy?
- bone disease
- acute RA episode
- joint effusion
- active inflammation
contraindication
lumbar root signs of ______ or cervical root signs of ____ are contraindications to manual therapy
lumbar >/= 3
Cervical >/= 2
what ligament instability is a contraindication to manual therapy
craniovertebral (transverse) ligament
