MSK Flashcards
Passive stretch
Passive stretch
Joint Mobilization
Passive technique to restore ROM: apply rhythmic repetitive passive movements of the accessory ranges
Manipulation
An accurate localized single, quick, decisive movement of small amplitude
Muscle Energy Techniques
Manual stretching technique where the patient actively uses their muscles against a counterforce
Passive Mobilization with active movement
Passive technique that consists of rhythmic repetitive passive movement performed concomitantly with an active movement of the patient
Soft Tissue mobilization
Passive force applied to a muscle/tendon either rhythmically or in a sustained fashion
Dry Needling
The use of a small needle applied into the taut band of a muscle which can be sustained or rhythmically applied in a piston fashion
Neural Mobilization
Passive and active techniques to apply movement to the nervous system
