Lecture 4: Introduction to Joint Mobilization Flashcards
What are the 3 types of accessory motions
roll
slide (glide)
spin
convex on concave rule
When a convex surface moves on a concave surface, the gliding movement occurs in the opposite direction to the bone movement and the roll occurs in the same direction
Concave on convex rule
When the concave surface is moving on a stationary convex surface, the gliding and rolling motion is in the bone movement
How do we increase the osteokinematic motion
change the arthrokinematics
How do we increase the arthrokinematic motion
Joint mobilization
Joint mobilization should be done in the direction of the roll or glide
the joint glide
The direction of force to increase motion should be at what angle
The angle is the plane of the joint. If your force is not in the plane of the joint than you are not doing an effective mobilization
Describe the open packed position of a joint (5 parts)
- slackening of major ligaments and capsule
- minimal surface congruity
- minimal joint surface contract
- minimal stability of a joint
- maximal joint volume (best position for joint mobilization)
Describe the closed packed position of a joint
- maximal tautness of major ligaments and capsule
- maximal surface congruity and compression
- maximal stability of a joint
- Minimal joint volume
Loose packed position for the shoulder
55 abd, 30 horizontal add
Closed packed position for shoulder
Full abd, ER
A torn meniscus in the knee would have what type of end feel
abnormal, springy block
This would feel like a rebound at the end range often accompanied by pain
What is an empty end feel
motion limited by pain, no block felt
what is a loose end feel
hypermobility with no resistance at end-feel
Is a capsular end feel normal
analogous to normal tissue stretch, but the elastic resistance is encountered before normal end ROM; capsular restriction
