Guiding hand controls position of humerus.
What is an “Inferior Glide” used to increase in a client?
Within the GH joint
It is used to increase Medial Rot, flexion & horizontal abduction of the GH joint.
What is the Procedure for a “Anterior Glide” of the GH joint?
Mobilizing hand: Over posterior surface of proximal humerus.

What is the procedure for a “Distraction” of the Scapulothoracic Joint?
Client Side lying,
in front of client with pillow barrier,
Mobilizing Hand: Over Acromion
Guiding Hand: Adjacent to inferior angle of the scapula.

What is the procedure of a “Medial Glide” of the scapula?
Side-lying with arm neutral,
Both hands over the lateral surface of the Scap, one hand over axillary and other over the acromion.
Both hands glide scap medially.
What is the procedure for a “Lateral Glide” of the Scapula?
Both hands positioned with fingertips over vertebral border of the scapula.
Both hands glide scap laterally.
What is the procedure for a “Superior Glide” of the Sternoclavicular joint?
Supine with arms at side,
Mobilizing hand: Thumb over thumb of guiding hand.
Guiding hand: Thumb over inferior surface of the clavicle,
Mobilizing hand glides clavicle superiorly,
Guiding hand controls positioning of the Mobilizing hand.
What is the procedure for a “Inferior Glide” of the Sternoclavicular Joint?
Mobilizing hand: Thumb over thumb of guiding hand.
Guiding hand: Thumb over superior surface of clavicle about 3 cm lateral from most medial.
Mobilizing hand guides clavicle inferiorly,
Guiding hand controls position of mobilizing hand.
What is the procedure for a “Posterior Glide” of the Sternoclavicular Joint?
Mobilizing hand: Thumb over thumb of guiding hand.
Guiding hand: Thumb over anterior surface of the clavicle about 3cm from the most medial.
Mobilizing hand glides clavicle posteriorly,
Guiding hand controls position of the mobilizing hand.
What is the procedure for a “Posterior Glide” of the AC joint?
Client sitting with arm at side,
Mobilizing hand: Thumb over thumb of guiding hand.
Guiding hand: Thumb over anteriolateral surface of clavicle, hand over posterior surface of scapula.
Mobilizing hand glides clavicle posteriorly while guiding hand controls positioning of the mobilizing hand.
What is the procedure for a “Anterior Glide” of the AC joint?
Mobilizing hand: Thumb over thumb of guiding hand.
Guiding hand: Thumb over posterolateral surface of clavicle, hand over anterior surface of the proximal humerus.
How would you set up for performing a “Distraction” on a client’s Elbow joint?
Client supine,
Client’s upper arm on the table with elbow joint off the table,
Distal forearm resting on MT’s shoulder.
Stabilizing hand: Grips distal humerus from anterior side.
Mobilizing hand: Grips proximal ulna from anterior side, avoiding contact with radius.
What is the procedure for a “Distraction” of the client’s Elbow joint?
Stabilizing hand: Holds humerus against table.
Mobilizing hand: Moves proximal ulna in a direction perpendicular to the ulnar joint surface.
How would you perform a “Medial Glide” of the Elbow joint?
Stabilizing Hand: Grips distal humerus from medial side.
Mobilizing Hand: Grips proximal radius from lateral side.
Grade 1 traction,
Stabilize hand holds humerus in position,
Mobilizing hand Glides proximal ulna in a medial direction.
