MWM Flashcards
osteokinematic
movement you can see
arthrokinematic
mvt you can feel
not under voluntary control
accessory motion
concave
glide and roll in same direction
convex fixed, concave moves
mob in same mvt as ortokin
convexe
- glide and roll opposite
- opposite to osteo mvt
grade 1 maitland
small amplitude mvt @ beg of avail ROM
grade II maitland
large amplitude within avail ROM
grade III maitland
large amplitude reaches EROM
grade IV maitland
small amplitude at the very end of ROM
grade V maitland
high velocity thrust of small amplitude at the end of available ROM and within anatomical range
Grade I - II considerations
- neurophysiological effect used daily to treat pain
- neutralizes jnt pressure
- prevents grinding
Grade III-V considerations
- mechanical effect used 3-5 times/week to treat hypo mobility and stiffness
- increased ROM through capsular mobility and plastic deformation
- mechanical distention or stretching of tissue
distraction mobs
GI (picolo):
- equalizes cohesive and atmospheric forces of the jnt
- alleviates p! by unloading and decompressing
- nullifies normal compressive forces
GII: slack of the capsule taken up (eliminates pain)
GIII: capsule and lig stretches
what stim type I mechanoreceptors
oscillations or prolonged hold at mid-range
what stims type II mechanoreceptors
oscillations or prolonged hold at EROM
what stims Type III mechanoreceptors and inhibits guarding
low grade sustained hold
principles of MVM
- use good body mechanics
- allow gravity to assist
- use short levers and place hands as close to joint as possible
- mobilize below pain threshold
- never cause pain
indications for mwm
- loss of jnt mvt
- pain associated with mvt
- pain associated w/ specific functional activities
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF APPLICATION OF MVW
#1
- technique should never be painful
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF APPLICATION OF MVW
#2
therapist should note one or more of the following signs to use MWM
- loss of jnt mvt
- pain associated with mvt
- pain associated w/ specific functional activities
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF APPLICATION OF MVW
#3
a passive accessory jnt mob following kaltenborns principles. this glide must be pain-free
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF APPLICATION OF MVW
#4
continuously monitor the pis reaction to ensure that no pain is recreated
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF APPLICATION OF MVW
#5
technique should produce an immediate benefit
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF APPLICATION OF MVW
#6
repetitions are necessary. recommended reps 3sets of 10
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF APPLICATION OF MVW
#7
there must be some lasting improvements. if symptoms reappear byw visits then MWM must be discontinued
