Types of Mobilizations/Manipulation Techniques
What is the description of a Grade 1 Oscillation?
Small-amplitude movement performed near starting position of range
Types of Mobilizations/Manipulation Techniques
What is the description of a Grade 2 Oscillation?
Large-amplitude movement performed within range but NOT reaching limit of range; can occupy any part of range that is free of stiffness or muscle guarding
Types of Mobilizations/Manipulation Techniques
What is the description of a Grade 3 Oscillation?
Large-amplitude movement performed up to limit of range and moving into stiffness or muscle guarding
Types of Mobilizations/Manipulation Techniques
What is the description of a Grade 4 Oscillation?
Small-amplitude movement performed at limit of range, stretching into stiffness or muscle guarding
Types of Mobilizations/Manipulation Techniques
What is the description of a High-Velocity Thrust?
High-Velocity, low-amplitude therapeutic movements within or at end ROM
Types of Mobilizations/Manipulation Techniques
What is the description of a Isometric?
Patient’s muscles are used to mobilize a joint by peforming an isometric contraction against operator’s resistance
