Intro to MT Flashcards
Is inert related to passive or active tests
passive
Where does joint capsule have greatest capacity for passive separation
Resting position
What is position of maximal joint congruency , minimal accessory movement
Close pack position
Capsular pattern?
pattern of ROM restriction
Open pack position?
greatest mobility between surfaces
aka resting position
osteokinematic movement?
gross movement of limb, voluntary
arthokinematic?
relative motion not voluntary (roll, glide, spin)
Convex moves on fixed concave, what happens to bone
opposite direction as bone displacement
concave moves on fixed convex called, what happens to bone
same direction as bone displacement
Distraction / traction
force perpendicular and away from treatment plane
What does distraction do
unweights
reduce sublimation
joint nutrition
relaxation before or after other techniques
Glide
force parallel to treatment plane
Which grade for pain relief (irritable)
Grade I, II
Which grade for stiffness (non irritable)
Grade III, IV V
Three effects of joint mobilization
neuro , mechanical , psych
Neuro effects of MT
firing of articular mechanoreceptors, proprioceptors, muscular receptors
altered nociception
mechanical effects of MT
stretching of joint restriction breaking adhesions alter position (sublax) reduce barriers to normal motion
