Q

biomechanics

A

The application of mechanical laws to living structures, more specifically to the locomotor system of the human body

The interrelations of the skeleton, muscles, and joint. Where BONES are the levers, LIGAMENTS form the hinges (Surround joint), and MUSCLES provide forces, moving the levers around the joint.

Q

A

sometimes

Although joint mobilizations (Grades 1-4) are not commonly associated with joint cavitation, deep mobilization may induce cavitation.

Q

how can mobilizations help reduced pain and improve proprioceptive function

A
  • The vibratory nature of the oscillations being applied are thought to activate sensory mechanoreceptors that may help to reduce pain and improve proprioceptive function*

Q

joint play

A

SMALL movements that are independent of voluntary muscle contraction. Measuring less than 1/8 inch in any plane, these movements provide roll, glide, spin, and distraction combinations to aid in smooth joint motion.

Q

PROM

A

Without any help from patient, the practitioner moves the joint. Due to relaxed nature of patient, this type of motion is usually greater then AROM.

29
Q

grade 5 manipulation is a…

A

controlled act

30
Q

grade 5 manipulation

A
  • End of Elastic Barrier
  • Creating the paraphysiolocial space
  • High velocity, Low amplitude THRUST
  • Popping or Cavitation is often heard (Nitrogen gas released from synovial
    fluid within joint cavity)
31
Q

what is the velocity and amplitude of manipulation

A

High velocity, Low amplitude THRUST

32
Q

why is there a cavitation or cracking noise

A

The best evidence suggests that this noise occurs as the volume oft he intra- articular space increases, and synovial fluid changes from a liquid to a gaseous state

This increase in intra-articular space might explain the temporary increase in range of motion that occurs after manipulation techniques.Since the gas takes time to reabsorb, joints are not likely to crack again immediately after
having been cracked

33
Q

grade 1-2 used for

A

Used more as warming up tissue or assessment Helps to reduce pain and irritability

34
Q

grade 3-4 used for

A

Used more to stretch the joint capsule and passive tissues that support and stabilize the joint
Helps to increase range of motion

35
Q

Generalized Graded Oscillatory Mobilization Procedure for Grade 3-4

A
  1. Take the joint to tension (engage barrier or point of pain). This involves firm pressure until resistance is felt. However, it is important to avoid using heavy forces that might create reactive muscle spasm.
  2. Start repetitively and rhythmically mobilize until a release of resistance occurs. Averaging about 120 oscillations per minute for no more than 60 seconds.
  3. Continue mobilizing until motion is normal (average is 3 to 10 mobilizations sessions).
  4. Stay just short of reproduction of the symptoms, barely engaging the point of pain and backing away.
    If the amplitude is too small, the procedure will be less effective; if the amplitude is too great (going too far into the painful area), the symptoms will be aggravated.
36
Q

Osteokinematic Movements:

A

Refers to movements of bony levers in the body that are possible in anatomical planes

37
Q

arthrokinematics Movements

A

Refers to movements that occur within the joint or between articular surfaces (Glides, Rolls, Spins)

  1. glide or slide or transitional
  2. roll
  3. spin or rotational
39
Q

A

When 1 bones articular surface slides on another (Carpal bones slide in relation to eachother when the wrist flexes and extends)

40
Q

roll joint motion

A

When 1 bones articular surface roots on another (Tibia rolling on fetus as knee flexes or extends)

41
Q

spin or rotational joint motion

A

When the bone moves but the mechanical axis remains stationary (when the humerus rotates or spins during external or internal rotation of the shoulder)

42
Q

6 types of mobilizations

A
  1. Antero-Posterior Glide (AP Glide) 2. Posterior-Anterior Glide (PA Glide) 3. Inferior Glide
  2. Superior Glide
  3. Medial Glide
  4. Lateral Glide
43
Q

joint manipulation/ grade 5 mobilization? what is the ROM? amplitude and velocity?

A

A thrust technique, that takes the joint PAST its physiological ROM without exceeding the anatomical limit. Characterized by a Low-Amplitude, High-Velocity thrust usually producing an audible articular crack/pop/cavitation.

A CONTROLLEDACT

44
Q

RHPA states that joint manipulation is

A

Moving the joints of the spine beyond the individuals usual physiological range of motion using a FAST, LOW amplitude thrust is a CONTROLLED ACT

  • Reduce muscle spasms (stretching hypertonic muscles) thus
    inducing relaxation
