Week 0 Capsular Pattern Flashcards
End feel
a barrier to further motion
Normal end feels are normally described as
hard (bony)
soft (soft tissue approximation)
Elastic (elongation of musculotendinous structures)
Capsular (elongation of capsule or ligaments)
End feels are considered to be abnormal when
they occur sooner or later in the ROM is typical, or if they are not the type of end feel that is normally found for that joint motion
A soft bogy end feel may indicate
edema
A hard end feel may indicate
a loose intraarticular body fragment
Empty end feel
the inability of the therapist to detect any anatomical barrier to the end of ROM because the patients says no further motion should occur due to pain
Patterns of restricted joint ROM due to
diffuse, intra-articular inflammation involving the entire joint capsule
Capsular Patterns
patterns of restricted motion, which usually involves multiple motions at a joint
Capsular patterns are typically associated with
Osteoarthritis
Non capsular Pattern
Restricted passive ROM is not proportioned similarly to a capsular pattern
Arthrokinematics
motion of joint surfaces
Accessory or Joint Play Motions
used to determine joint mobility and integrity
Accessory joint motions are typically described as
glides, spins, and rolls
Glide
is a linear motion of motion of one surface sliding over another
