Topic 1 - Introduction & Mobilization Theory Flashcards
Manual therapy techniques used to modulate pain and treat joint impairments that limit ROM by addressing the altered mechanics of the joint.
Joint Mobilizations
T/F - Mobilization is the same as manipulation.
False - Mobilization is NOT the same as manipulation.
A term that refers to when the patient can voluntarily contract a muscle to stop the movement.
Mobilization
A term that refers to when the patient cannot stop the movement.
Manipulation
A ____________ is applied with speed and thrust, and is often used by chiropractors and physiotherapists.
Manipulation
Synovial joints rely on the ______ of the joint capsule and surrounding structures and the potential _____ between the bones for optimal movement.
Laxity

Voluntary motions the patient performs by moving a joint.
Osteokinematic Movements
______________ terms describe the movement (or swing) of a bone in space.
Osteokinematic
Involuntary movements within the joint and surrounding tissues that are necessary for normal ROM.
Arthrokinematic Movements
T/F - Arthrokinematic movements allow for osteokinematic movements to happen.
True
What are the 5 types of arthrokinematic movements?
1) Roll
2) Slide
3) Spin
4) Compression
5) Distraction
_______________ movements are necessary for pain-free, unrestricted, voluntary movements to occur.
Arthrokinematic
A type of arthrokinematic movement that occurs between joint surfaces when a new point on the moving surface contacts a new point on the stationary surface.
Roll
T/F - In a normal joint, roll occurs without slide or spin.
False - In a normal joint, roll occurs WITH slide or spin.
T/F - Roll results in the movement (swing) of a bone.
True
____ always occurs in the direction that the bone is moving, regardless of whether the moving surface is convex or concave.
Roll
A type of arthrokinematic movement that occurs when the same point on the moving surface contacts new points on the stationary surface.
Slide
A relationship in which the direction of slide depends on whether the moving surface of the joint is concave or convex.
Concave-Convex Rule
Slide occurs in the same direction as the roll if the moving surface is _______.
Concave
Slide occurs in the opposite direction of the roll if the moving surface is ______.
Convex
A type of arthrokinematic movement that occurs when the same point on a moving surface contacts the same point on the stationary surface.
Spin
____ involves the rotation of a segment about a stationary axis.
Spin
A type of arthrokinematic movement that occurs when there is a decrease in space between the two articulating joint surfaces.
Compression
