Answer 1

exam and intervention

Question 2

tx plane is also the

Answer 2

assessment plane

Question 3

tx plane includes

Answer 3

glides

distractions

Question 4

glides are

Answer 4

parallel

Question 5

distractions are

Answer 5

perpendicular

Question 6

options for joint mobilization

Answer 6

oscillations

sustained translations

Question 7

oscillations

Answer 7

depth and amplitude

Question 8

sustained translations

Answer 8

depth

Question 9

how do oscillations work

Answer 9

neurophysiologic

mechanical

Question 10

neurophysiologic –> oscillations

Answer 10

depolarization of receptors

Question 11

mechanical –> oscillations

Answer 11

synovial fluid production

stretching of tissue

Question 12

what depolarizes mechanoreceptors

Answer 12

movements

more movement, more depolarization

Question 13

depolarization of mechanoreceptors

Answer 13

stimulus traveling along a C fiber causes a strong activation

mechanoreceptor info traveling along AB fiber causes a reduced or weak activation

Question 14

tx objectives and soreness

Answer 14

grades 1&2

grades 3&4

Question 15

grades 1-2

Answer 15

for pain

no soreness from tx

Question 16

grades 3-4

Answer 16

for stiffness

some soreness is normal, but not for more than 24 hours

Question 17

sustained translations

Answer 17

mobilization w/ movement

fxnal mobilization

Question 18

sustained translation and constant load benefits

Answer 18

tissue creep w/ constant load

stress relaxation w/ constant tissue length

Question 19

grading sustained translations

Answer 19

no real grade (but think a 4)

taken to end of pain free range and held

often introduce physiologic while holding

Question 20

contraindications and precautions

Answer 20

hypermobility

joint effusion

acute inflammation
