44
Q

What are the 4 types of joints mobs?

A

b. Oscillation mobilizations
c. Sustained hold mobilizations
d. Mobilization with Movement

45
Q

What is the joint play movement of compression?

A
  • approximation of joint surfaces

- force perpendicular to joint plane

46
Q

What is the joint play movement of traction/distraction?

A
  • separation of joint surfaces

- force perpendicular to the joint plane

47
Q

What is the joint play movement of gliding?

A

force direction parallel to joint surface

48
Q

What is grade 1 of the kaltenborn distraction?

A

piccolo (loosen)

49
Q

Describe the amount of stress on the joint capsule and the purpose of a grade 1 (piccolo) kaltenborn distraction:
When will these distractions be used?

A

i. Very small amplitude of traction force
ii. Minimal stress on the joint capsule
iii. Reduces compression forces on articular surfaces
iv. Pain reduction
v. Used with gliding mobilizations

50
Q

What is grade 2 of the kaltenborn distraction?

A

slack (take up the slack - tighten)

51
Q

Describe the amount of stress on the joint capsule and the purpose of a grade 2 (slack) kaltenborn distraction:
When will these distractions be used?

A

i. Slack in joint capsule and surrounding tissues is taken up
ii. Can help to determine the sensitivity of the joint
iii. Used to alleviate pain, assess joint play, and/or reduce muscle guarding

52
Q

What is grade 3 of the kaltenborn distraction?

53
Q

Describe the amount of stress on the joint capsule and the purpose of a grade 3 (stretch) kaltenborn distraction:
When will these distractions be used?

A

i. Designed to stretch joint capsule and soft tissues surrounding the joint to increase mobility
ii. Used to assess end feel or increase movement

54
Q

What is the primary goal of grade 1/2 maitland joint mobilizations?

A

reduce pain and muscle guarding, improve joint lubrication/nutrition

55
Q

T/F No direct mechanical effect on restrictions while using grade 1/2 mobilizations

56
Q

T/F Grade 1/2 maitland joint mobilizations are often used before and after grade 3/4.

57
Q

What is the theory behind grade 1/2 maitland joint mobilizations?

A
  1. Reduces pain by improving joint lubrication and circulation to tissues related to the joint
  2. Rhythmic oscillations possibly activate articular and skin mechanoreceptors which play role in pain reduction
58
Q

What is the primary goal of grade 3/4 maitland joint mobilizations?

A

stretching joint capsule and associated structures (ligaments, muscles attaching in the area)

59
Q

What is a grade 5 maitland joint mobilizations?

decrease pain and muscle guarding

If you are using sustained hold mobs to target pain, what range of motion do you hold at?

A

beginning range to mid range

62
Q

If you are using sustained hold mobs to target joint mobility, what range of motion do you hold at?

A

end range.
- Address tissue extensibility directly to allow motion (when enough force applied for enough time according to stress-strain curve for collagen)

63
Q

Resting position of joint used for what 3 things?

A
  1. assessment
  2. acute stage
  3. during grade 1/2 oscillations
64
Q

2. Typically: 1-5 sets for 15-60 seconds each

65
Q

Joint mob sustained holds frequency and duration?

A
  1. Typically: 1-5 sets for 5-30 seconds each

2. More commonly used to treat ROM (end range sustained holds)

66
Q

Ex: What direction would I mobilize the femur to improve hip extension?

A

Anterior glide mobilization in max hip extension ROM

67
Q

EX: What direction would I mobilize the acetabulum to improve hip extension?

A

mobilize acetabulum and stabilize femur = concave on convex = to improve extension at hip joint = posterior roll and posterior glide = mobilize acetabulum posterior to improve extension

68
Q

Mobilization with movements golden rule:

A

should be painless, if pain occurs either need to change direction of force, correct pressure, or not use MWMs

69
Q

Mobilization with movements guidelines: (3)

A

i. Should be pain free
ii. Apply 10 times before reassessing joint motion
iii. Overpressure should be applied at end range of AROM

70
Q

Ex: MWM increase shoulder flexion?

A

apply posterior mobilization while patient is actively flexing shoulder

71
Q

EX: What direction of joint glide would you perform in non-weight bearing to improve ROM in ankle dorsiflexion?

A

posterior glide

72
Q

EX: What direction of joint glide would you perform in non-weight bearing to improve ROM in tibiofemoral flexion?

A

posterior glide
