Joint mobilization intro Flashcards
How do you find contractile tissues
Assessed with resisted isometric testing
4 classic patterns of inert tissue
- ROM full and no Px indicating no lesion of inert tissues
- Px and limitation of movement in every direction - indicates entire joint is affected suggesting arthritis or capsulitis
- Px and limitation or excessive movement in some directions, but not in others - ligament sprain or local capsular adhesion, movements that stretch, pinch or move affect structure, causing the pain, could be indicative of an internal derangement
- Limited movement that is Pain free - end feel is usually abnormal, bone to bone type, symptomless arthritis d/t osteophytes
how you assess Inert tissue issues
AROM/PROM
4 classic patterns may be seen with contractile and nervous tissue
- Mvmt that is strong and pain free - no lesion of contractile/nervous tissue
- Mvmt is strong and painful - local lesion of muscle or tendon; could be 1 degree or 2 degree muscle strain, avulsion # (partial); tendinosis, tendinitis, paratendonitis
- Movement is weak and painful - severe leision around that joint such as #
- Movement is weak and pain free indicative of complete rupture of a muscle (3 degree)
Grade of mobilization Grade I
Small amplitude rhythmic oscillations that are performed at the beginning range of joint play, short of tissue resistance
Rate of oscillation (fast) 5x sec
Stage of healing Acute
Grade II of Mobilization
Larger amplitude rhythmic oscillations that do not reach issue resistance
Rate of Oscillation (slow)
3x/sec
Stage of healing - sub acute
Grade III of mobilization
large amplitude rhythmic oscillations that rae applied through the first barrier of tissue resistance
Rate of oscillation (slow) 3x/sec
Stage of healing: chronic
Grade IV of mobilization
Small amplitude rhythmic oscillations performed at the limit of available motion and into tissue resistance but short of anatomical limit
Rate of oscillation (fast) 5x/sec
Stage of healing Chronic
All grades of joint mobilization are performed ——to the treatment plane (joint surface)
Parallel
Joint play refers to
the movement or play available when the joint is in some degree of loose pack and can be assessed
Joint mobilization is
a passive modality that moves a joint through its’ accessory movements (normally not under voluntary control) to restore pain-free physiological movement. Joint mobilization is the modality used to assess, treat and maintain articular health
Joint restrictions compromise/limit…
movement! Because the neuro-musculoskeltal framework of our bodies includes specific articulations, which provide the necessary flexibility for mobility.
What is the classification of the structure of the joint
Fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial.
What is the functional classification of the joint
diathroses, synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis
What are the sub-types of synovial joints (6 types)
Planner Hinge Pivot Condyloid Saddle Ball and socket
What does synovial joint posses?
a joint capsule, articular cartilage synovial membrane and fluid as well as innervation essential to posture and movement.
Joint mobilization has positive physiological effect on these components.
