Joint Mobs Flashcards
lateral distraction of humeral head
improves all joint motions
inferior glide of humeral head
improves glenohumeral flexion and abduction
anterior glide of humeral head
improves glenohumeral extension and external rotation
posterior glide of humeral head
improves glenohumeral flexion and internal rotation
ulnar distraction
improves flexion and extension
posterior/anterior glide of radial head
- posterior glide improves supination and extension
- anterior glide improves pronation and flexion
distraction of proximal carpal row
improves all wrist motions
anterior/posterior glide of proximal carpal row
- anterior glide improves wrist extension
- posterior glide improves wrist flexion
long-axis distraction of hip
improves all hip motions
inferior glide of femoral head
improves hip abduction and flexion
lateral glide of femoral head
improves all hip motion
anterior glide of femoral head
improves hip extension and ER
posterior glide of femoral head
improves hip flexion and IR
distraction of tibia
improves all knee motions
posterior glide of tibia
improves knee flexion
posterior glide of femur

anterior glide of talus
improves talocrural plantarflexion
medial glide of calcaneus
improves calcaneal inversion (supination)
lateral glide of calcaneus
improves calcaneal eversion (pronation)
