Q

what do you need to consider in regards to oscillation mobilizations and manipulations

A

address extensibility

consider stress strain curve of collagen tissue when considering efficacy of joint mob for improved mobility

Q

what do you need to address in regards to sustained hold mobs

A

tissue extensibility directly to allow motion (when enough force applied for enough time according to stress strain curve for collagen)

Q

what is the joint position during mobilizations

A

resting position
when wanting to improve ROM, at end ROM if tolerable
one half of joint should be stabilized, while other half is mobilized

Q

what is the therapist position during mobilizations

A

both stabilizing and mobilizing hands should be as close as possible to joint line
clinicians hands should make maximum contact with patients body

Q

what is the directions of mobilization

A

based on convex/concave rule and which part of joint is being mobilized and which is being stabilized

Q

oscillations

A

1-3 secs
typically 1-5 sets for 15-60 seconds

*can do more if needed

Q

technique tips

A

allow gravity to assist
your body and mobilizing part should act as 1
body mechanics
reassess afterwards

Q

how do you determine which direction you perform grades 3 and 4

A
  1. determine what motion you want to improve - osteokinematic
  2. determine what joint you are mobilizing
  3. determine which part is moving and which is stationary
  4. convex / concave
  5. convex - opposite, concave - same
  6. end range
17
Q

what direction would i mobilize the femur to improve hip extension

A

anterior

18
Q

mobilization with movement

A

type: typically combined active and passive joint mob

19
Q

what is the golden rule of MWMs

A

should be painless

20
Q

what do you do if there is pain while doing MWMs

A

change direction of force, correct pressure or not use it

21
Q

what is the theory of MWMs

A

bony positional faults contribute to painful joint restrictions

22
Q

what are the guidelines for MWMs

A

pain free
apply 10 times before reassessing joint motion
overpressure should be applied at end range of AROM

23
Q

what direction of joint glide would you perform in non-weight bearing to improve ROM in ankle dorsiflexion

A

posterior

24
Q

what direction of joint glide would you perform in non-weight bearing to improve ROM in tibiofemoral flexion

A

posterior

25
Q

what direction of joint glide would you perform in non-weight bearing to improve ROM in GH IR

A

posterior

26
Q

what direction of joint glide would you perform in non-weight bearing to improve ROM in radiocarpal extension

A

anterior

27
Q

what grade of joint mob glides would you want to perform for GH hypomobility without pain

A

grade 3 and 4

28
Q

what grade of joint mob glides would you want to perform for GH pain without hypomobility

A

grade 1 and 2, grade 5

29
Q

what grade of joint mob glides would you want to perform for GH hypomobility with pain

A

grade 1 and 2 then 3 and 4

30

Q

what are we working to improve if the a grade 3 posterior radiohumeral mob is done

A

elbow extension
