Peripheral Joint Mobilization Flashcards

Clinical Indications, Contraindications/Precautions, Techniques: Dosage/Rate of application, Increases in ROM from joint mobilizations

1
Q

Clinical Indication: Pain or muscle guarding (which grades?)

A

Grades 1 & 2 – low intensity, no stretch force against capsule
(Vary speed of oscillations for different effects, such as low amplitude and high speed, to inhibit pain or slow speed to relax muscle guarding.)

Q

Traction vs. Distraction

A

Traction is a longitudinal pull or pulling on the long axis of a bone. Distraction is a separation, or pulling apart. Distraction is generally applied at right angles to the joint surface (i.e. glenoid fossa).

Q

Oscillation Techniques: Dosage and Rate of Application

A

GRADE I. Small-amplitude rhythmic oscillations; beginning of the range; rapid.
GRADE II. Large-amplitude rhythmic oscillations; within range, not reaching limit; 2 or 3 per second for 1 to 2 minutes.
GRADE III. Large-amplitude rhythmic oscillations; up to limit of available motion and stressed into tissue resistance; 2 or 3 per second for 1 to 2 minutes.
GRADE IV. Small-amplitude rhythmic oscillations; at the limit of motion and stressed into tissue resistance; rapid.

Q

Sustained Joint-Play Techniques: Dosages and Rate of Application

A
GRADE I (Loosen). Small-amplitude distraction; no stress place on capsule; equalizes cohesive forces, muscle tension, and atmospheric pressure acting on joint; within available joint play.
GRADE II (Tighten). Enough distraction or glide applied to tighten the tissues around joint "taking up the slack"; to tissue resistance.
GRADE III (Stretch). Distraction or glide applied with an amplitude large enough to place stretch on joint capsule and surrounding periarticular structures.
