Q

Indications for manual therapy

A
  1. Mild or moderate pain of musculoskeletal origin
  2. Joint hypomobility
  3. A non-irritable, mild irritable condition
  4. Remodeling stage of recovery: subacute
  5. Acute spinal pain w/o neurological symptoms
17
Q

What is Irritability

A

How long it takes for symptoms to come on and how long it takes for symptoms to go away

18
Q

Kaltenborn distraction grading system

A

Grade 1: unloading and decompressing the joint surfaces - very little distraction force

Grade 2: separation of joint surfaces

Grade 3: joint capsule and ligament stretch

19
Q

How long of holds for Kaltenborn scale?

A

10-20 seconds static hold for pain

30-60 seconds for stretching joint capsule

20
Q

Maitland grading system

A

Grade 1-4

Grade 5 = manipulation

21
Q

Maitland Grade 1

A

small amplitude in the resistance free range (first 25%)

22
Q

Maitland Grade 2

A

large amplitude in the resistance free range (middle 50%)

23
Q

Maitland Grade 3

A

large amplitude into resistance or up to resistance (last 50%)

24
Q

Maitland Grade 4

A

small amplitude into resistance (last 25%) - oscillate

25
Q

Maitland Grade 5

A

Manipulation - high velocity, small amplitude (oscillate a few times), thrust movement to the limit of available range or mid-range

26
Q

Mobilization Maitland Grade 1-4

A
  1. Amplitude: small/large
  2. Range: into resistance or no resistance
  3. Velocity: slow
  4. Force: varies
  5. Repeated oscillations
27
Q

Manipulation Maitland Grade 5

A
  1. Amplitude: small
  2. Range: mid range or end range, distraction
  3. Velocity: fast
  4. Force: small
  5. One or two attempts
28
Q

Use of Mobilization

A
  1. Decrease pain, restore joint play

2. Less vigorous, may start with it and progress to manipulation

29
Q

Use of Manipulation

A
  1. Decrease pain, restore joint motion, break adhesions, remove loose bodies
30
Q

Treating pain with mobilization

A
  1. Choose least painful technique, low speed, shorter treatment - grade 1 or 2
  2. Grade 1 or 2 distraction
31
Q

Treating resistance with mobilization

A
  1. May begin with more end range techniques or increase vigor, quicker speed, longer treatment - grade 3 or 4
  2. Grade 3 distraction
32
Q

What do you use Grade 3 for?

A

Pain AND Mobilization

33
Q

Technique Selection: Muscle restriction

A

muscle stretching; hold/relax

34
Q

Joint restriction

A

manipulation, grade 3 or 4 mob, passive physiological motion

35
Q

Capsular restriction

A

grade 4 mob, prolonged stretch, distraction with or w/o movement, NO manipulation

36
Q

Extreme hypomobility or pain through ROM

A
