what is the most commonly cited successful accessory motion used in MWM for the extremities?
lateral glide
Difference b/t Maitland and Kaltenborn techniques and Mulligan’s MWM
aThere is no system of grading the force and amount of movement in the Mulligan Concept as there is for Maitland and Kaltenborn techniques
what is directional preference in the McKenzie method
a. During the assessment the therapist determines what movement direction reduces the patients symptoms
b. Exercise prescription is based upon the movement direction that reduces the patients symptoms

a. They are applied without symptoms
b. A small amount of force is required to achieve an improvement – LEAST AMT
c. The patient is actively participating
d. Both a and c
e. All of the above
what does Mulligan expect if there is a pain free overpressure at the symptomatic joint as a result of MWM
optimal recovery
what does Mulligan recommend if the motion produces an immediate increase in pain
glide in the opposite direction
what does Mulligan recommend if there is not a complete resolution of symptoms when introducing the accessory motion
increase or decrease the force; change the angle
What is the theory for why Mulligan believes his techniques work
correct minor positional faults
what is the 1st step in the Mulligan concept
ID one or more comparable signs
