Q

What is the rationale for selection/ progression?

A
  • know what symptoms are
  • know the provocative/ asterisk signs
  • know the effects of the manual therapy techniques (reduce pain etc)
  • know how to modify these techniques for prog & reg
  • available ‘tool box’ of techniques to use
  • consider how they integrate with other treatment modalities
  • perform the technique & re-assess

Q

Contraindications & precautions for mobs

A
  • whenever urgent med referral needed
  • post fracture - until its united
  • inflammatory jt diseases
  • total jt replacements
  • when manual therapy is aggravating the condition
  • patient’s current and past history/ general health requires further investigation

26
Q

What is a ‘traction’?

A

bone movement at a right angle to and away from the treatment plane = traction (separation) of jt surfaces

27
Q

What is a ‘compression’?

A

bone movement at a right angle to and towards the treatment plane = compression of jt surfaces

28
Q

PRINCIPLES OF MOBILISATION - GLIDING
What is the rule called which describes the gliding directional movement?

A

Convex-concave rule

29
Q

What happens to the convex joint surface in the convex-concave rule?

A

move in opposite direction to the direction of restricted mvmt of the distal aspect of the bone (concave = fixed)

30
Q

What happens to the concave jt mvmt surface in the convex-concave rule?

A

move in the same direction e.g. tibia condyles glide anteriorly for restricted knee extension

31
Q

PRINCIPLES OF MOBILISATION
What is the patient position in mobilisation? (4)

A
  1. completely relaxed
  2. may be selected to replicate functional position of pain
  3. neutral position if pain = main problem
  4. at limit of range if aiming to stretch structures/ manage stiffness
32
Q

What is the therapist position in mobilisation? (6)

A
  • afford complete control of position
  • forces can be applied in direction required
  • optimal base of support
  • comfortable & allow minimal effort
  • make use of mechanical advantage of levers
  • prevent movement beyond established point
33
Q

Where should the localisation of forces occur?
- how should you hold patient?

A

confident, comfy grasp

34
Q

What do you stabilise when mobilising?

A

where required e.g. tibia

35
Q

Where should the applied line of force match?

A

direction intended

36
Q

How many grades of mobilisation are there?

A

V

37
Q

Grade I mobilisation:

A

small amplitude movement at the beginning of available range

38
Q

Grade II mob:

A

large amplitude within a resistance-free part of available range

39
Q

Grade III:

A

large amp performed into resistance / up to limit of available range

40
Q

Grade IV:

A

small amp performed into resistance / up to limit of available range (EOR available)

41
Q

Grade V (manipulation):

A

small amp movement at EOR

42
Q

What impairments do use grades I and II mobilisation levels for?

A

pain

43
Q

What impairments do you use grade III mob for?

A

pain & stiffness

44
Q

What impairment do you use grade IV mob for?

A

stiffness

45
Q

DOSAGE
Grade I/II dosage parameters:

A

< 2 mins 1-2 x / session

46
Q

DOSAGE
Grade III/IV parameters:

A

quicker rhythm
- several mins
- several x / session

47
Q

How can you progress your mobilisation technique?

A
  • repeat tech
  • alter a component of technique
  • add in new techniques
  • change the technique (add Fx)
  • manipulate @EOR
  • stop Rx
48
Q

What is a mobilisation with movement (MWM)?

A

application of a sustained passive accessory force to a joint while the patient actively performs a task that was previously identified as being problematic. e.g. squat with patella medial glide

49

A

condition, response & sustainability of response

56
Q

61
Q

What does an AP talar glide MWM influence?

A

62
Q

What are the adverse effects of manual therapy?

A
  • predominantly related to manipulations
  • similar to those of exercise e.g. soreness
  • risk of major adverse event = very low
  • risk should be weighed against patient-perceived benefit and alternative Rx
63
Q

When do most adverse effects of manual therapy occur?

A

within 24 hours and resolve in 72 hours
