Q

PPM’s vs. PAM’s

-what are they limited by?

A

passive physiologic movements (osteokinematics)
-limited by: soft tissue > joint capsule > joint play

Passive accessory movements (arthrokinematics)

  • roll & glide; distraction/compression
  • limited by: capsule, ligaments, bony congruency & menisci

Q

Mobilization vs. Manipulation

A

mobilization - technique where patient has ability to prevent movement

  • PPM’s & PAM’s
  • less vigorous

manipulation - technique performed at a speed beyond the patient’s control; can break adhesions & remove loose bodies

  • Grade V mobilizations
  • more vigorous & requires more skill

Q

Kaltenborn Distraction Grades

A

Grade I - just enough force to unload the joint surfaces but not enough to separate them
Grade II - enough force to separate the joint surfaces; “taking up the slack” & to eliminate joint play
Grade III - max force distraction that provides ligament & capsule stretch

Q

Maitland’s Accessory Glide Grades

A

Grade I - small amplitude in resistance free range (first 25%)
Grade II - large amplitude in resistance free range (first 50%)
Grade III - large amplitude against resistance (last 50%)
Grade IV - small amplitude against resistance (last 25%)
Grade V = manipulation - high velocity, small amplitude, thrust movement at the mid or end range

Q

Dosage for Distractions

A

For pain - 10-20sec static hold x5 (grade I or II)

For stretching - 30-60sec static hold x5 (grade II or III)

17
Q

GH Inferior Glide Thrust Manipulation

A

Pt. sitting shoulder elevated to 90deg & neutral rotation

Clinician stand in front of patient & fully support arm w/ other hand on superior aspect of humeral head.

Ask patient to slightly lean to opposite side, perform inferior glide to end point, if no pain perform high velocity, low amplitude thrust straight down

18
Q

GH Posterior Glide Thrust Manipulation

A

Pt. supine w/ arm relaxed in 60deg abduction and neutral rotation

Clinician fully support arm w/ thigh & other hand on anterior portion of humeral head

Apply distraction force by pushing arm against the medial aspect of thigh, then apply posterior glide to end feel, if no pain perform a high velocity low amplitude thrust straight down

19
Q

SC & AC Distraction

A

Have client sit on table w/ shoulders relaxed

Clinician support middle thoracic spine with one leg & hold onto anterior shoulders.

Ask the patient to inhale –> pull shoulders back –> exhale & repeat 3 times

20
Q

RCI Distraction

A

**for frozen shoulder specifically

Rotator cuff interval contracture - tissue btwn anterior supraspinatus tendon edge & upper subscapularis border - restricts ER w/ the arm at side and prevents inferior translation

Patient supine, arm by side & ER’d & perform inferior distraction

21
Q

Neurophysiological Theory of Why/how MT works

A
  1. Descending pain inhibitory system
  2. Gate control theory
  3. Release of endogenous opioid
  4. Change in reflex excitability to decrease tone
22
Q

Mechanical Theory of why/how MT works

A
  1. Loosen up and free entrapped/torn menisci
  2. Mechanical disruption of intra-articular adhesions
  3. Stretching of joint capsule
23
Q

Psychological theory of why MT works

A

PLACEBO affect is huge!!
