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)
joint mobs precautions (4)
- malignancy
- bone disease
- unhealed fracture
- jt replacement
joint mobs contraindications (4)
- hypermobility
- necrosis
- inflammation
- jt effusion
- provides stability
- helps move synovial fluid
compression
- pain relieving
- separates jt surfaces
distraction
jt mobs documentation (5)
- grade
- direction (PA/AP)
- target landmark
- moving/stable structure
- pt position
small oscillations, beginning of range
grade I
large oscillations, beginning to mid range
grade II
large amplitude, mid to end range
grade III
small amplitude, end of range
grade IV
used to treat pain
grades I and II
used to treat ROM restrictions/stiffness
grade III and IV
