Lec Flashcards
Passive, skilled manual therapeutic techniques applied at varying speeds and amplitudes use if physiologic and accessory motions
Mobilization/Manipulation
Self stretching techniques that specifically use joint traction or glides that direct the stretch force to the joint capsule
Self-mobilization / Automobilization
Concurrent application of sustained accessory mobilization and an active physiologic movement to end range to be able to do passive end-of-range over pressure or stretching without pain as a barrier
Brian Mulligan
Manipulation with movement (MWM)
MWM applicable when (4)
- No CI for manual therapy
- (+) local musculoskeletal pathology on eval.
- (+) localized loss of movement and/or pain associated with function
- (-) pain during and immediately after treatment
High velocity, short amplitude motion such that the patient cannot prevent the motion
Performed at end of pathologic limit
Thrust
(True/False) thrust is done multiple times
False
Thrust is intended to (3)
Alter positional relationships
Snap adhesions
Stimulate joint receptors
Medical procedure
Manipulation under anesthesia
Active isometric contraction of deep muscles that are attached near the joint and whose line or pull can cause the desired accessory motion
Stabilization is at distal attachment of the muscle
Muscle energy
Types of physiologic movements (2)
Voluntary
Osteokinematics
Types of accessory movements (5)
Involuntary
Component motions
Joint play
Compression
Traction
Motions that accompany active motion but are not under voluntary control
Component motions
Motions that occur between the joint surfaces as well as the ‘give’ in the joint capsule allowing the bones to move
Joint play
Joint play is necessary for
Normal joint functioning
Can be demonstrated passively but not done actively
Joint play
Roll, slide, compression, distraction, spin
Joint play
Joint shapes (2)
Ovoid
Sellar (saddle)
For these to occur, sufficient capsule laxity or joint play is needed
Roll, slide, combined roll-sliding, spin
Surfaces incongruent
Roll
Surfaces congruent
Slide
Surfaces more congruent more sliding
Roll-slide
Rotation of a segment about a stationary mechanical axis
Spin
New points to new point resulting in swing. ( angular motion of bone )
Roll
Same points to new points
Slide
Same point creates arc of a circle
Spin
Always in the same direction as the angulating bone, concave or convex
Roll
Opposite direction if convex. Same if concave (uses concave convex rule)
Slide
If alone, separation and compression (may lead to joint damage)
Roll
Some movements can cause or control sliding movement
Roll-slide
In normal joints, does not occur alone
Roll
No pure movement of this motion because no joint surface is congruent
Slide
In roll slide, sliding does what?
Restore joint play
Reverse joint hypomobility
In roll-slide, rolling is not used when?
To stretch tight joint capsule because it causes joint compression
Rarely occurs alone but in combination with rolling and sliding
Spin
Passive angular stretching (4)
May cause increased pain or joint trauma
Use of a lever significantly magnifies force at the joint
Excessive joint compression in direction of the rolling bone
Roll without slide does not replicate normal joint mechanics
Joint glide stretching (4)
Safer, more selective
Force applied close to joint surface, controlled at intensity compatible to pathology
Direction of force replicates sliding component of joint mechanics, doesn’t compress cartilage
Amplitude of motion small but specific, forces selectively applies to the desired tissue
Decrease in joint space
Occurs when weight bearing
Provides stability when muscles contract
Compression
During rolling, compression occurs on?
Angulating side
In normal compression
Help move synovial fluid and maintain cartilage health
In abnormal compression
Articulate cartilage changes and deteriorates
Distraction or separation of joint surfaces
Traction
Pulling of long axis of bone
Long-axis traction
Pulling at right angle based on concave side
Distraction or joint traction or joint separation
*I honestly don’t get this
Effects of joint motion (3)
Stimulates biological activity by moving synovial fluid
Maintains extensibility and tensile strength of articular and periarticular tissues
Provides sensory input for proprioceptive feedback
How does immobilization lead to jt contra tired and ligament ours weakening
Immobilization
Fibrofatty proliferation
Intra-articular adhesions
Jt contra tires and ligamentous weakening
Proprioceptive feedback relative to (5)
Static position and sense of speed of movement (1)
Change of speed of movement (2)
Sense of direction of movement (1&3)
Regulation of muscle tone (1,2,&3)
Nociceptive stimuli (4)

Reversible joint hypomobility
Positional faults/ subluxations
Progressive limitations

Bone disease detectable on X-ray
Malignancy
Unsealed fracture
Total joint replacements
Excessive pain
Systemic connective tissue disease
Elderly (weak connective tissue, diminished blood circulation)
Newly formed connective tissues
Eval and assessment for pain
Before tissue limitation: inhibit pain
At tissue limitation: gentle specific stretching
After tissue limitation: aggressive stretching
Eval and assessment for joint capsule
Capsular pattern
Firm capsular end-feel
Decreased joint-play movement
Eval and assessment for ligaments
Limited when there is decreased joint play and pain when stressed
Joint mob applied to their line of stress
Eval and assessment for subluxation (dislocation or loose intra-articular structures)
Joint manipulation or thrust
Small amplitude rhythmic oscillations beginning of range
Grade 1
Large amplitude rhythmic oscillations within range not reaching limit
Grade2
Uses for grade 1 & 2
For painful joints (inhibitory)
Improve nutrition to cartilage
Large amplitude rhythmic oscillations up to the limit of available motion stressed into tissue resistance
Grade 3
Small amplitude rhythmic oscillations at the limit of available motion stressed into tissue resistance
Grade 4
Uses of grade 3 & 4
Stretching maneuvers
Small amplitude high velocity thrust technique
Grade 5
Uses of grade 5
Snap adhesions
Reposition dislocation
Speed of grade 1 & 4
Rapid
Rhythm of grade 2 & 3
Smooth regular oscillations at 2-3 per second for 1 or 2 minutes
Small amplitude distraction, no stress on the capsule
Equalizes cohesive forces, minimal tension and atmospheric pressure acting on the joint
Grade I (loosen)
Enough distraction or glide to tighten tissues around joint. “Taking up the slack”
Grade II (tighten)
Distraction or glide; amplitude large enough to place a stretch on joint capsule and surrounding periarticular structured
Grade III (stretch)
Use of grade I (loosen)
All gliding motions relief of pain
Use of grade II (tighten)
Initial treatment: to determine sensitivity of the joint
Done intermittently: may inhibit pain
If glide, maintain jt play when ROM is not allowed
Use for grade III (stretch)
Stretch jt structures to increase jt play
Application of distraction for pain
7-10 seconds w/rest between cycles
Application of stretching for pain
Apply minimum of 6 sec w/ partial release then repeat with slow, intermittent stretches of 3-4 sec intervals
Low intensity
No stretch on joints
Grade I & II (graded oscillations)
Similar intensity
Applied stretch at end range
Grade III and IV (graded oscillations) Grade III ( sustained stretch )
Dosage is determined by
Px response to treatment and state of disease
All joint mob techniques are done
At resting position of joint
Or position of least joint pain then progress to end range then apply mobilization
To prevent unwanted stress
Stabilize bone
Movement should be _______ to the treatment plane(2)
Parallel or perpendicular
A plane perpendicular to a line running from the axis of rotation to the middle of the concave articular surface
Treatment plane
Position is determined by the concave bone
Treatment plane
Applied perpendicular to treatment plane
Joint traction
Applied parallel to the treatment plane
Gliding
Initiation and progression. (4)
Always start with grade II distraction
(For joint reactivity)
Note changes within 24 hours
For mobilization of stretch, perform every other day
( for decrease of soreness and for tissue healing to occur)
Joint and ROM should be reassessed after treatment and before next treatment
Manual therapy techniques that are used to modulate pain and treat joint dysfunctions that limit ROM by specifically addressing the altered mechanics of the joint
