hip longitudinal traction improves
all ROM
hip lateral distraction improves
all ROm
hip posterior glide for
flexion, anterior impingement and IR
tibiofemoral joint traction improves
all ROM
tibiofemoral joint anterior glide improves
extension
tibiofemoral joint posterior glide improves
flexion
patella femoral joint cranial caudal glide improves
improves ext and flex
talocrural join traction improves
all ROM
anterior glide of talus improvesPF
PF
posterior glides of talus improves
DF
subtler joint traction improves
all ROM
medial glide of calculus improves
eversion / pronation
lateral glide of calcaneus improves
inversion / supination
calcaneus convex or cave
vex
talus concave or vex
cave
pt has reduced IR in hip what can you do
posterior glide
mobilization grade 3/4
oscillate 2-3Hz
for 30-60 seconds
Glute max trigger point
exercise: prone hip IR
super tibfib posterior glide helps w
ext
MPT / IP joint traction helps
All ROm
MTP / IP joints dorsal glide helps with
extnetion
MTP/ IP joint plantar glide helps with
flexion
