Q

what is a phsyiologic barrier

A

point at which voluntary range of motion of an articulation is limited by soft tissue tension, further motion can be induced into the anatomic barrier

Q

What is anatomic barrier

A

point at which passive range of motion is limited by bone contour, soft tissues, especially ligaments, or both. the anatomic barriers serves as a final limit to the motion in an articulation, movement past this barrier causes tissue damage

22
Q

what is a direct technique

A

movement and force are in the directionof the motion restriction

23
Q

what is an indirect technique and when is it used

A

movement and force are both not in the direction of the motion restriction commonly used/indicated in acute phase

24
Q

what is general technique

A

force is transmitted to a number of joints

25
What is specific technique
force is transmitted only one to one joint
26
what are indications for joint techniques
as prior to improve joint or soft tissue mobility or reduce pain
27
what are contraindications for joint techniques
fx, infections arthritis, tumor, joint ankylosis, OP, RA, presence of pathologic end feel, lack of diagnosed joint lesion
28
what are the 10 contraindications for thrust manips
positive vertebral artery test dizziness bilateral or multisegment neurologic signs or sx paralysis in non perisperhal nerve distribution hyperreflexria, pathologic reflexes presence of emotional disorders anticoagulant meds or steroidal meds for a long time
29
Are manips successful without a pop
yes
30
what should you assess for with accessory joint motion testing
- pain before and during testing - amount of motion - end feel - all sections at the joint - in open packed position - functional measures - review of contraindications/precautions
31
What are the different non thrust manip system types
maitland kaltenborn MWM mulligan self mob
32
what is matilatnd non thrust manips
graded oscillation techniqeus
33
what is kaltenborn non thrust manip
sustained translators joint play technique
34
what is MWM mulligan non thrust manip
sustained accessory mob while the the pt is performing an active physiological movement to end ROM
35
what is self mob non thrust manip
self stretching techniques that specifically use traction or glides
36
what are the diferret grades for Maitland approach
Grade 1: small amplitude at begining of range grade 2: large amplitude near begining of range grade 3: large amplitude near end of range grade 4: small amplitude at end or range
37
what are the grades for kaltenborn
grade I : loosen; no joint separation; only enough traction appleid to nullify the compression on the joint grade II: tighten; the slack is taken up in the tissue surrounding the joint are tightened grade III: stretch; after the slack has been taken up more traction force is applied, and tissues are stretched
38
what are Maitland and kaltenborn systems both used for
examination and treatment
39
what is the reliability of the examination and treatment using Maitland and kaltenbonr systems
poor
40
what is the purpose of addressing pain with manual therapy
reduce pain, reduce muscle spasm/guarding, increase muscle relaxation
41
how to reduce pain neurolligicaly with manual therapy
stimulate pain receptors to inhibit pain trasmnsmission
42
how to reduce pain mechanically with manual therapy
increase synovial fluid movement and nutrient exchange for joint, particularly articular cartilage
43
what techniques are used with manual therapy to treat pain
- low grade, small amplitude - oscillations - slowly applied mobs - traction/distraction with or without accessory glides - direction of mob: determined by pain/relaxation response
44
what is the joint position for treating pain with manual therapy
open packed or lease provocative joint position
45
what is the frequency for treating pain with manual therapy
low grade; 30 sec x 2-5 reps; w/ oscillations or Maitland I and II for 30 secs x 2-5 reps w/oscillations
46
what is the purpose of treating limited motion with manual therapy
improve moitn
47
what techniques are used for treating limited motion with manual therapy
- Hi grade, small or large amplitude - sustained stretch to hold at ed ROM or oscillations to aid with pain relief - traction/distraction with or without accessory glides - direction of mob: determined by convex-convace roll or anatomy/mechnics and or by accessory motion testing findings
48
what is the guideline for joint position when treating limited motion with manual therapy
Position that is the least painful position to start, progress the position as patient tolerates
49
what is the frequency for treating limited motion with manual therapy
hi grade; 30 sec x 3-5 reps; sustained stretch
50
what is the frequency for treating pre conditioning with manual therapy
- hi grade; 30 sec x 1-3 reps; oscillations or sustained stretch - Kaltenborn II and III, 30 secs x 1-3 reps, oscillations - Mailtand III and IV, 30 secs x 1-3 reps, oscillations
51
what are contraindications for manual therapy
hypermobile joint effusion inflammation
52
what are precautions for manual therapy
- execessive pain - hyper mobility - diseased joint - patient with hemiplegia or hemiparisis - recent fx - total joint replacement - recent surgery - systemic disease - elderly
53
what are the guildlines for manual therpay
- determine purpose - determine techniques to be used based on purpose - use of heat may be beneficial before starting - patient posisitoning - examiner is relaxed - joint position - treat only one joint at a time - no forceful or abnormal movmeents - compare bilaterally - movement stopped pain is elicited
54
where do you want your hands during manual therapy
as close to joint as possible
