Joint Mob Flashcards
functional pattern that represents discrete movements that are not well controlled
mobility
ability to maintain steady position in anti-gravity position
stability
ability to alter position while maintaining postural stability
controlled mobility
ability to complete highly coordinated activities
skill
decisions regarding ther ex intervention should be based on…
individual goals
tissue adapts to imposed demands. As function improves, higher demands must be imposed to continue improvement
overload
training effects are specific to type of exercise completed
specificity
gains are lost when overload is removed
reversibility
endurance sets/reps
3-4 sets of 12-20 reps
strength sets/reps
2-3 sets of 8-15 reps
power sets/reps
1-2 sets of 3-6 reps
passive, skilled manual therapy technique applied to joints and related soft tissues at varying speeds and amplitudes. Under direction of PT
joint mobilization
joint mobs neurophysiological effects (2)
- stimulate mechanoreceptors
2. inhibit transmission of pain stimuli
joint mobs mechanical effects (2)
- increase synovial fluid
2. elongate capsular/ligament tissue
joint mobs indications (3)
- jt pain
- mm guarding/spasm
- hypomobility (reversible)
