joint mobilisation 3 Flashcards
indications for joint dysfunction and pathology
analgesia
improve joint hypomobility
improve functional ability
joint pathology involves what 3 systems
muscle
neural
articular
stokes and young effects of joint injury
joint injury
immobilisation
muscle atrophy
muscle weakness
mechanism of action of joint mobilisation
mechanical
neurophysiological
types of nociceptors
a delta fibres
c fibres
what type of fibre is a delta fibre
mehcanical
a delta fibre is responsible for what kind of pain
1st / Fast Pain
Well-localized
Sharp / Prickling
a delta neurotransmitter
Glutamate neurotransmitter
what type of fibre is c fibre
polymodal
c fibre is responsible for what kind of pain
2nd / Slow Pain Diffuse Dull Aching Burning
c fibre neurotransmitter
Substance P neurotransmitter
spinothalamic signals waddel 2004
pain signals are filtered, selected and modulated at every level spinal cord spinothalamic medulla midbrain primary somatosensory cortex thalamus corpus callosum
grades in glides that are large amplitude
grade 2 and 3
mobilisation effects
end of range EOR passive movemnts
increase joint ROM
decrease peri articular muscle spasm, intra articular pressure, joint afferent nociceptor activity
stimulates large diameter joint afferents for increased movement
end of rang joint rehabilitation
muscle inhibition - decrease in peri-articular tension
decrease in intra articular pressure -|> decrease in pain
decrease in nociceptor activity
