Decrease pain and increase nutrition
To decrease pain what grades and types of mobs can be applied?
Grade 1 & 2 sustained
Grade 2 oscillatory and sustained mobs can be applied to…
Maintain ROM

Grade 3 sustained / 3 & 4 oscillatory mobs
What are the uses for Hip joint distraction?
- improve general hip mobility
- pain control
- to increase nutrition to articular structures
What direction do you mobilize the femoral head from the acetabulum when doing a hip jt distraction?
Laterally and inferiorly
How do you position the hip when doing a hip jt distraction
It should be positioned in loose pack which is 30 degrees of flexion, 30 degrees of abduction and slight external rotation
Uses for hip anterior glide
- improve hip extension
- improve hip external rotation
What is the use for Hip inferior glide? (Long axis traction)
Improve hip abduction
What is the loose packed position of the knee?
25 degrees of flexion
What are the uses for tibiofemoral distraction?
- to improve general knee mobility
- pain control
- to increase nutrition to articular structures
What is the use for Tibiofemoral anterior glide?
Improve knee extension
What is the use for tibiofemoral posterior glide?
Improve knee flexion
Apply a grade 1 distraction when performing tibiofemoral rotation glides
What is the use for tibiofemoral int and ext glides?
- Internal rotation to improve knee flexion
- External rotation to improve knee extension
