Intro to MT Flashcards
(44 cards)
Is inert related to passive or active tests
passive
Where does joint capsule have greatest capacity for passive separation
Resting position
What is position of maximal joint congruency , minimal accessory movement
Close pack position
Capsular pattern?
pattern of ROM restriction
Open pack position?
greatest mobility between surfaces
aka resting position
osteokinematic movement?
gross movement of limb, voluntary
arthokinematic?
relative motion not voluntary (roll, glide, spin)
Convex moves on fixed concave, what happens to bone
opposite direction as bone displacement
concave moves on fixed convex called, what happens to bone
same direction as bone displacement
Distraction / traction
force perpendicular and away from treatment plane
What does distraction do
unweights
reduce sublimation
joint nutrition
relaxation before or after other techniques
Glide
force parallel to treatment plane
Which grade for pain relief (irritable)
Grade I, II
Which grade for stiffness (non irritable)
Grade III, IV V
Three effects of joint mobilization
neuro , mechanical , psych
Neuro effects of MT
firing of articular mechanoreceptors, proprioceptors, muscular receptors
altered nociception
mechanical effects of MT
stretching of joint restriction breaking adhesions alter position (sublax) reduce barriers to normal motion
psych effects of MT
confidence through movement
positive effects from manual contact
response to joint sounds
Indications for MT
Improve accessory or physiological movement Reduce positional faults Relive pain Improve nutrition to structure reduce guarding
5 contraindications to Joint Mobilization
spinal cord lesion recent fraction Vertebral artery disease bone disease inappropriate end feel
5 precautions to Joint mobilization
acute signs neurological signs severe movement loss upper respiratory tract infection dizziness / undiagnosed cardinal signs diabetics, kids
how long to oscillate at grade I-II compared to III and IV Maitland
10-30 seconds
30-60 seconds
how long to oscillate at grade I-III Kaltenborn
6-10 second holds on all
Maitland when?
glides
