PeripheralJoint mobilization Flashcards
Which of the following describes an inappropriate procedure for safe and effective application of joint mobilization techniques?
Select one:
A. Combine a grade III distraction with a grade III sustained glide
B. Initiate joint mobilization procedures with the joint in the resting position of the joint
C. Combine a grade I distraction with a grade III sustained glide
D. Stabilize one of the articulating bones while applying the mobilization force close to the joint
A. Combine a grade III distraction with a grade III sustained glide
How to achieve maximum elongation of the long head of the biceps brachii during passive stretching
Extend the elbow with the forearm in pronation and then extend the shoulder.
Multiple potential benefits and outcomes are speculated to result from stretching programs. Which of the following is strongly supported by evidence and research?
Improved flexibility and increased ROM by restoring extensibility of the muscle-tendon unit with specific stretching techniques
To determine the point of tissue resistance and how sensitive a joint is, you would use which of the following grades of sustained mobilization?
Grade II
A long-axis distraction of the humerus provides which direction of gliding?
Inferior
Moving the proximal row of carpals on the radius in a volar direction increases which wrist motion?
Flexion
Of the following choices, which is the most appropriate application of the hold–relax (contract–relax) method of muscle inhibition and elongation of the gastrocnemius muscle? Extend the patient’s knee, stabilize the lower leg, and:
Select one:
a. Place the patient’s ankle in as much dorsiflexion as is comfortable; have the patient isometrically contract the plantar flexors against resistance for 6 to 10 seconds. Then have the patient relax as you passively dorsiflex the ankle.
b. Place the patient’s ankle in as much dorsiflexion as possible; have the patient isometrically contract the dorsiflexors against resistance for 6 to 10 seconds. Then have the patient relax as you passively dorsiflex the ankle.
b. Place the patient’s ankle in as much dorsiflexion as possible; have the patient isometrically contract the dorsiflexors against resistance for 6 to 10 seconds. Then have the patient relax as you passively dorsiflex the ankle.
Connective tissue fatigue occurs when:
a. When there is a buildup of metabolites in connective tissue as the result of active stretching procedures.
b. When a muscle is not allowed adequate time to recover from exhaustion after exercise.
c. When a submaximal stress load is applied repeatedly and causes tissue failure as in a stress fracture or overuse syndrome
c. When a submaximal stress load is applied repeatedly and causes tissue failure as in a stress fracture or overuse syndrome
All of the following gliding techniques match except:
Select one:
a. Long axis traction of femur—distracts weight-bearing surface in acetabulum.
b. Posterior glide tibia on femur—knee flexion.
a. Long axis traction of femur—distracts weight-bearing surface in acetabulum.
Each of the following is a true statement about self-stretching procedures except:
Select one:
a. A portion of body weight is often the source of the stretch force when the distal segment is fixed.
b. Self-stretching is effective only when the distal segment is stabilized and the proximal segment moves.
c. Proper stabilization of one segment sometimes can be achieved intrinsically
b. Self-stretching is effective only when the distal segment is stabilized and the proximal segment moves.
To increase flexion of the shoulder, position the patient in the supine position, stabilize the scapula, and:
Select one:
a. Place the glenohumeral joint in the resting position and apply a posterior glide of the humeral head.
b. Place the shoulder in 90° flexion and apply an inferior glide of the humeral head.
a. Place the glenohumeral joint in the resting position and apply a posterior glide of the humeral head.
a. Glide the base of the first metacarpal in an ulnar direction on the trapezium.
Mobilization techniques direct forces specific to the involved capsular and ligamentous tissues without causing compressive damage to the articular cartilage.
To increase radial adduction of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb:
Select one:
a. Glide the base of the first metacarpal in an ulnar direction on the trapezium.
b. Glide the base of the first metacarpal dorsally on the trapezium.
c. Glide the base of the first metacarpal radially on the trapezium.
a. Glide the base of the first metacarpal in an ulnar direction on the trapezium.

Select one:
Sustained grade I
Sustained grade II
Sustained grade III
Oscillation grade II
Sustained grade III
A posterior glide of the head of the femur on the surface of the acetabulum increases which of the following hip motions?
