Mobilizations (EXAM 1)

Question 1

Treatment Plane

Answer 1

• Lies in the concave articular surface
• Remains essentially still when the convex surface moves
• Axis of motion always lies in the convex articular surface

Question 2

Types of Mobilization

Answer 2

• Traction

- Gliding

Question 3

Traction

Answer 3

• The process of pulling one bony surface away from the other
• AKA joint seperation
• A passive translatory bone movement which is at a right angle to the treatment plane

Question 4

Traction Grades

Answer 4

Grades 1-3

Question 5

Grade 1 Traction

Answer 5

• Unweighting or barely separating the joint surfaces

- Piccolo??

Question 6

Grade 2 Traction

Answer 6

Slack of the capsule is taken up

Question 7

Grade 3 Traction

Answer 7

Capsule and ligaments stretched

Question 8

Gliding

Answer 8

Refers to a translatory movement where the joint surfaces are passively displaced parallel to the treatment plane

Question 9

Gliding Mobilization Grades

Answer 9

Grades 1-5

Question 10

Grade 1 Gliding Mobilization

Answer 10

Small amplitude movement at the beginning of the available ROM

Question 11

Grade 2 Gliding Mobilization

Answer 11

Large amplitude movement at within the available ROM

Question 12

Grade 3 Gliding Mobilization

Answer 12

Large amplitude at the very end range of motion

Question 13

Grade 4 Gliding Mobilization

Answer 13

Small amplitude at the very end range of motion

Question 14

Grade 5 Gliding Mobilization

Answer 14

• High velocity thrust of small amplitude at the end of the available ROM and within its anatomical range
• AKA specific manipulation
