Joint Mobs Flashcards
What is the order for the OP
- Conave/Convex Surfaces - movement
- Screen for Contraindications
- Joint in open-packed position
- Help patient get comfortable
- Stabilize nonmoving arm
- mobilizing hand close to joint line
- Assess R1 & R2
- Explain and demonstrate 4 grades
- Force applied in correct direction
- Force applied with correct amplitude
- Traction applied if appropriate
