Treatment Flashcards
What would a grade 1 mobilisation be?
Small with no resistant , for the those with high SIN factor.
What would a grade 2 mobilisation be?
Large with no resistance , those with high SIN
What would a grade 3 mobilisation be?
Large and into resistance , those with low SIN factor
What would a grade 4 mobilisation be?
Small and fast , into resistance. Low SIN factor
What are the indications for joint mobilisations?
- Pain , Pain gate theory
- Restoration of movement
- Joint soft tissue tightness
Benefits of balance work as a treatment option
- decrease falls, therefore increase confidence
- Strengthening
- Proprioception
- Train the brakes
- Neuroplasticity
Benefits of stretching work in the LL
- Increase muscle length
- Increase ROM
Give 3 types of ROM exercises in the LL
- Stretch
- Dynamic stretching
- Active-assisted
- Passive stretching
3 x daily with progression , 30-40 seconds for an effective stretch.
What is mechanotherapy?
it is the use of load and mechanical stress to help us heal, repair and strengthen.
- Loading
- Cellular response
- Adaption of tissue
- Improvement of structure
- Maintain homeostasis - less pain.
What are Plyometric exercises?
- Jumping
- Hopping
- throwing
- running
- kicking
- Energy recoil
- SSC - Strength store cycle
How does stretching increase ROM?
- Creep is the capacity of fascia and other tissue to lengthen when subjected to a constant tension load.
- Un-crimping of muscle fibres
- Hysteresis describes the amount of lengthening a tissue will maintain after a cycle of stretching (deformation) and then relaxation
How do you improve exercise tolerance?
- Gradual progression
- 2k to 5k to 10k etc
- Building up level of endurance
What should you include when educating a patient on the pathology/disease pre assessment/treatment?
- Layman’s terms of diagnosis to ensure understanding
- Aims and expectations
- Patient goals, are they SMART
- Address Red and Yellow flags
- Prognosis
- Address contributing factors to recovering , such as nutrition, sleep and psychological health.

Give the 4 manual therapy treatment for the LL
- Joint Mobilisations
- Accessory movements ( Graded) or MWMs
- SSTMs, accessory , physiological or combined
- Trigger point techniques , transverse frictions.
