MOBS Flashcards
zero position
goniometer at 0 degrees
resting position
where the periarticular structures are most lax
used in joint play to evaluate end feels
treat symptoms of grade 1-2
treat hypomobility
minimize secondary joint damage
actual resting position
presence of intra or extra articular pathology or pain
position where the patient feels least discomfort
may initially be used in evaluation and treatment
non resting position
may be are where subtle joint dysfunction becomes apparent
closed-pack position
joint capsule and ligaments are tight or maximally tensed
maximal contact between articular surfaces
articular surfaces gliding reduced with slight traction
what movements are possible at the joints
rotations
translations
curved (angular) movement around an axis
linear movements parallel to an axis in one plane
True or False: the direction of the roll is always in the same direction of the bone moving
true
Glide test
direct method
preferred method because it is the most accurate
Kaltenborn’s convex concave rule
indirect method
Kaltenborn: treatment plane
remains with the concave joint surface whether the moving joint partner is concave or convex
grade 1
relieve pain
use traction with glide to reduce joint compression
grade 2
treatment in slack zone
used to relieve pain, spasm and maintain or increase ROM
grade 3
increase mobility and joint play by stetching shortened tissues
what are the different joint mobilizations
pain relief mob
relaxation mob
stretch mob
pain relief mob
working in grade 1-2 slack zone in the actual resting position or resting position
