UE Joint Mobs Flashcards
Restion position of SC joint
arm resting at side
superior glide at SC joint increases
clavicular depression
inferior glide at SC joint increases
clavicular elevation
posterior glide at SC joint increases
clavicular retraction
anterior glide at SC joint increases
clavicular protraction
resting position of AC joint
arm resting at side
anterior glide of AC joint is used for
improving arm elevation and pain modulation
GH Joint Resting Position
55 degrees abduction, 30 degrees horizontal adduction (plane of scapula)
GH joint capsular pattern
loss of ER > loss of ABD > loss of IR
GHJ joint distraction is used for
pain modulation and general mobility
GHJ long axis traction is used for
pain modulation and general mobility
GHJ caudal (inferior) glide increases
abduction (stretching inferior capsule)
GHJ posterior glide increases
flexion, IR (stretching posterior capsule)
GHJ anterior glide increases
extension, ER (stretching anterior capsule)
humeroulnar joint capsular pattern
limited flexion > extension
humeroulnar joint resting position
70 degrees flexion; 10 degrees supination
humeroulnar joint closed pack position
full extension/supination
HUJ distraction indicated for
provides articular surface separation
HUJ distal glide increases
elbow flexion
HUJ radial (lateral) glide increases
elbow flexion
HUJ ulnar (medial) glide increases
elbow extension
HUJ posterior superior glide increases
elbow extension
humeroradial joint capsular pattern
limited flexion > extension (same as HUJ)
HRJ resting position
full extension/supination
HRJ joint mob positon
70 degrees flexion; 35 degrees supination
HRJ closed pack position
90 degrees flexion; 5 degrees supination
