Mobilizations Flashcards
Contraindications for mobilizations
- active disease
- advanced OP
- articular hypermobility
- fracture
- acute inflammation
- muscle guarding
- joint replacement
Small amplitude movement performed at the limit of range
Grade IV
Large amplitude movement performed within the range, but not reaching the limit of the range and not returning to the beginning of range
Grade II
Small amplitude high velocity thrust technique performed to snap adhesions at the limit of range
Grade V
Large amplitude movement performed up to the limit of range
Grade III
Small amplitude movement performed at the beginning of range
Grade I
Convex surface moving on concave surface
- roll and slide occur in opposite directions
- mobilizing force should be applied in the opposite direction of the bone movement
Concave surface moving on convex surface
- roll and slide occur in the same direction
- mobilizing force should be applied int he same direction as bone movement
Mobilization activities are typically performed with the joint in this position initially
Loose packed
A GH posterior glide would be most effective to increase:
- flexion
- IR
- horizontal adduction
An anterior femoral glide would be most effective to increase
- extension
- ER
An inferior femoral glide would be most effective at increasing:
Hip abduction
Medial patellar glides would be most effective at improving:
Accessory motion of the PF joint
