Mobs and spinal worksheet Flashcards
techniques where by the pt is taught to apply joint mobilization techniques to restricted joints using proper gliding techniques.
Self-mobilization
The concurrent application of sustained accessory mobilization applied by a therapist and an active physiolgical movement to end range applied by the pt
Mobilization with movement (MWM)
Movements the pt can do voluntarily.
ex: flex, abd, rotation,
Physiological movement
When motions of the bone are described (flex, ext, abd, etc..)
Osteokinemetics
movements in the joints and surrounding tissues that are necessary for normal ROM but that cannot be actively performed by the pt.
Accessory movements
These are motions that accompany active motions but are not under voluntary control. This term is often used synomously with acessory movement.
component motions
the motion that occurs between the joint surfaces and also the distance ability or give in the joint capsule which allows for bones to move.
joint play
Refers to high velocity short amplituded techniques. It is performed at the end of the pathological limit of the joint and is intented to alter positiional relationships, snap adhesions, or stimulate joint receptors.
Thrust
A procedure used to restore full ROM by breaking adhesions around the joint while the pt is anestheized.
The technique may be a rapid thrust or a passive stretch using physiological or accessory movements.
Manipulation under anethesia
- this technique requires the therapists to provide stabalization on the segment on which the distal aspect of the muscle attaches. A command for an isometric contraction is given that causes accessory movement of the joint.
- an active contraction of deep muscles that attach near the joint and whos line of pull can cause the desired accessory motion.
muscle energy techniques
(hold relax)
small amplitude rythmic oscillation are perform at the beginning of the range. The are usally rapid like manuel vibrations.
Oscillation grade I
Large amplitude rythmic oscillations are performed within the range, not reaching the limit. The are usually performed for at 2 to 3 per second for 1 to 2 minutes.
Oscillation grade II
Large amplitude rythmic oscillations are performed up to the limit of the available motion and are stressed into the tissue resistance.
they are usually performed for 2 to 3 secs for 1 to 2 mins
Oscillation Grade III
Small amplited rythmic oscillations are performed at the limit of the available motion and stressed into the tissue resistance.
They are usually rapid oscillations like manuel vibrations.
Oscillation grade IV
What joints are used for treating joints limited by pain or muscle guarding and help move synovial fluid to improve nutrition to the cartilage.
Oscillations grade I and II
What grades of oscillations are primarily used as a stretching maneuver.
Oscillations Grade III and IV
Vary the speed of oscillation for different effects
such as _________ and __________ to inhibit pain or
__________to relax muscle guarding.
Low amplitude
High speeds
; slow speeds
small amplitude distraction is applied when no stress is placed on the capsule. It equalizes (or elephants or perhaps anything that starts with an E) coehesive forces, muscle tension ,and atmospheric pressure acting on the joints.
Sustained joint play grade I
enough destraction or glide is applied to tighten the tissues around the jt. (“taking up the slack”)
sustained jt play grade II
a distraction or glide is applied with an amplitude large enough to place stretch on the jt capsule and surrounding perriarticular structures.
sustained jt play grade III
a perment or transient limitation of movment or shortening of the muslcle or other soft tissues
contracture
how do jt mobs differ from other forms of passive or self stretching?
they specifically address restricted capsular tissue
A joint end feel that is sudden, hard , and non-yeilding sensation felt at the end of Motion. generally not painfull.
Ex: elbow ext
Bone to Bone end feel or “Firm”
The joint end feel is characterized by a yeilding compression. This end-feel results from muscular tissue compression during jt flexion.
soft-tissue approximation
this end-feel is most the most common normal end feel and is characterized as elastic resistance or rising tension.
hard or tissue stretch end feel
this abnormal end feels major component is pain accompanied by a sudden halt of movment that prevents full ROM
muscle spasms
this abnomal end feel is characterized by full motion being limited by a soft or springy sensation occaionally accompanied by pain.
springy black or internal derangement
this end feel is characterized by by motion being very limited by significant pain without without muscle spasm. clinically this is not characterized by any mechanical block or restriction
empty end feel
this end feel is charcterized by jt hypermobility with no resistance typically felt at the end ROM.
loose end feel
abnormal end feel that is analogous to a normal stretch, but the elastic resistance is encountered before the normal ROM
capsular end feel
