Joint Manipulation Flashcards
definition of joint manipulation/mob
skilled passive movements to the joints and or related soft tissues that are applied at varying speeds and amplitudes
thrust joint manipulation
high velocity, low amplitude therapeutic movements within or at end range of motion
what grade is high velocity low amplitude mob?
5
maitland’s theory
move a peripheral or vertebral segment to increase motion or decrease pain
who identified graded passive movements
maitland
kaltenborn’s theory
restore movement allowed by shape of surface (convex/concave)
cyriax’s theory
stretch joint capsule
alter shape/reduce strain of disc
evjenth’s theory
stretch muscles spanning joint
mennell’s theory
restore joint play
strain/counterstrain theory
decrease soft tissue strain to facilitate muscle relaxation
myofascial release theory
decrease tension in soft tissue to increase segmental movement to decrease likelihood that dysfunction returns
A ______ is something the patient complains of while a _______ is an objective finding
symptom, sign
T or F: a joint sign is an objective finding
T: anything found within a joint, its structures or movements that is abnormal
comparable sign
- reproduction of the patient’s complaint of pain through examination
- reproduces the pt’s symptoms
asterisk sign
outstanding signs used for quick reassessment of a patient’s progress
how many asterisk signs should you try to find
1-2
for pain, what is the goal of treatment
reduce, centralize, and eliminate the pain
for stiffness, what is the goal of treatment
reproduce the pain (with respect) moving further into range to reduce stiffness
pain is often _______ while stiffness is localized
diffuse
is pain or stiffness usually worse at night?
pain
does stiffness usually cause limitations? what about pain?
stiffness no, pain yes
in pain-dominant patients, pain is usually constant while in stiffness dominant it is ___________
intermittent
T or F: stiffness is usually chronic
T
pain is aggravated by ________ activity and is slow to reduce while stiffness is aggravated by ________ activity and only lasts a short time
mild, vigorous
in pain dominant, pain is usually ______ than a 5/10 while in stiffness-dominant pain is usually _________ than a 5/10
greater, less
T or F: pain dominant is often aggravated by repeated movements
T: but for stiffness dominant repeated movements often increase range
_______ dominant has pain at rest, early, and mid-range whereas ________ dominant usually only has pain at end range
pain, stiffness
