Q

difference between mob and manip

A
  1. mob is rhythmic/repetitive vs. manip: single, quick/decisive movement

Q

What is the biomechanical/pathological method?

A

WORKS WELL FOR Surgical patients
1. biomechanical theories assess abnormalities
2. treatments target arthrokinematic principles
3. relationship btwn anatomy and pathology to determine whats wrong

Q

What is the patient based response method of manual therapy?

A
  1. addresses pain repro and reduction with movement
  2. does not rely on biomechanical model for diagnosis
  3. rely on assessment findings to determine treatment
  4. treatment techniques are similar to assessment method (reproduce patient’s pain, then apply movement to increase ROM and/or decrease symptoms)

Q

What are neurophysiological effects of manual therapy?

A
  1. ANS: HR, BP, skin conductance
  2. SC: inhibit pain receptors (non-localized effect on vitals and muscle relaxing)
  3. CNS: altered pain, inhibits mechanical nociception through gate control theory
  4. PNS: decreased inflammatory mediators at local site
  5. temporal: lasts 20-30 min-need to back up with exercises to maintain/improve motion and strength
  6. placebo

32
Q

joint pain less than 3 days old:
what manual technique should you use?

A

Grade 1-2 (acute!) mobilization or MET (not HVLAT)

33
Q

injury is 3 days-3 months old…what manual technique should you use?

A

MET!
Grade 2-3 joint mobs
If MET doesn’t work, then use HVLAT (mod-strong indication)

34
Q

If injury is chronic (over 3 months), what manual technique should you use?

A

grade 3-4 joint mob
MET!!! and also HVLAT
HVLAT: strong indication if MET doesn’t work

35
Q

grade 1 joint mobilization

A

small amplitude (0-25%)
*motion from 0 to 1st tissue resistance

USE WITH PAIN

36
Q

grade 2 joint mobilization

A

*large amplitude (25-75% or mid-50%)
in middle of joint play: get mechanoreceptors to turn on, calm Nervous system down!

37
Q

grade 3 joint mobilization

A

*large amplitude (50-100%)
*end of joint play to 2nd tissue resistance!

38
Q

grade 4 joint mobilization

A

*small amplitude (75-100%)
at end of joint play to tissue resistance

PAIN CANNOT BE THE ISSUE

39
Q

grade 5/HVLT

A

quick movement exceeding 2nd tissue resistance!

40
Q

joint sustained mobilizations

A

grade 1: loosen
*no stress on capsule
grade 2: take up slack
*distraction force to separate joint surfaces

grade 3: stretch
*large distraction force to stretch capsule and soft tissue

41
Q

when should you do a sustained joint mob?

A

hypomobility!
6+ seconds of hold, release partially, repeat as tolerated

42
Q

pain dominant condition of joint hypomobility: which grades?

A

oscillatory grade 1 and 2 to DECREASE PAIN

43
Q

stiff dominant condition of joint hypomobility: which grades?

A

grade 3-4 OR sustained grades to INCREASE MOBILITY

44
Q

target specified HVLAT
is designed for what?

A

apply passive/assisted mvmt towards 1 specific functional unit
*1 spinal segment or joint

45
Q

how should you position the joint in target specified HVLAT?

A

pre-position to allow PT to feel 2nd tissue resistance point with combo of mid-range positions

46
Q

generalized HVLAT is designed for what?

A

isolate a thrust to a specified REGION (multiple spinal segments)
*less pre-positioning, force directed through long level arms
