Q

Angular stretching

A

Lever increases force at joint

Can cause excessive joint compression

Roll without a slide does not replicate normal function

Q

Resting position in joint mobilization?

A

Maximum joint play (position where joint capsule and ligaments or most relaxed)

17
Q

How are the articulating surfaces in loose packed position?

A

maximally separated

18
Q

What will the joint exhibit in loose packed position?

A

Greatest amount of joint play

19
Q

What is the loose packed position used for?

A

Traction and joint mobilization

20
Q

How are the joint surfaces in close packed position?

A

Maximal contact to each other

21
Q

What are the evaluations prior to joint mobilization?

A

AROM and PROM

Pain level throughout motion

22
Q

Where does the treatment plane lie in joint mobilization?

A

Concave articulating surface perpendicular to a line from the center of the convex articulating surface
