joint mobilization
ortho foundations exam 1 material
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| use joint mobilizations to | assess ROM, treatment, help with pain |
| motion you see | osteokinematics |
| motion you feel | arthrokinematics |
| passive, skilled, manual therapy techniques applied to joint related soft tissues at varying speeds and amplitudes using accessory motions for therapeutic purposes | joint mobilization |
| why do altered joint mechanics occur | pain, muscle guarding, joint effusion, contractures, malalignment of bony surfaces |
| small, precise movements that occur within joint not under voluntary control but necessary for normal movement | accessory motion |
| 3 types of accessory motion | roll, slide, spin |
| new points on one surface come into contact with new points of the other surface | roll |
| one constant point on one joint surface contacts new points or a series of points on the other surface | glide |
| rotation around a longitudinal stationary mechanical axis, one point of contact | spin |
| concave on convex rule | glide is in the SAME direction |
| convex on concave rule | glide is in OPPOSITE direction |
| most often joint mobilization is ___ technique | glide |
| compression is ______ to treatment plane | perpendicular |
| approximation of articular surfaces | compression |
| traction is ____ to treatment plane | perpendicular |
| separation of articular surfaces | traction |
| true distraction is | perpendicular to treatment plane |
| long axis distraction is | in line with long bone |
| neurophysiological effects of joint mob | stimulate mechanoreceptors in joint |
| mechanical effects of joint mob | stretching contracted tissue, chance joint nutrition |
| indications for joint mob | examination, reversible joint hypo mobility, maintaining joint mobility, diminishing pain |
| _______ magnifies force at joint | angular stretch |
| ______ replicate normal joint mechanics | mobilization forces |
| subjective scale for grades of mobilization | 0-6 |
| hypo mobility on scale is number ___ through ___ | 0 ,1,2 |
| hyper mobility on scale is number ___ through ____ | 4,5,6 |
| normal mobility on scale is | 3 |
| 0 | no movement (ankylosis) |
| 1 | significantly decreased movement |
| 2 | slightly decreased movement |
| 3 | normal |
| 4 | slightly increased movmeent |
| 5 | significantly increased movoment |
| 6 | complete instability |
| examination is always performed in ____ | loose packed position |
| LPP | position a joint falls into if acutely injured bc it can accommodate the most amount of swelling, allow the most movement |
| resting position of joint | LPP |
| grades of mobilization | 1,2,3,4,5 |
| grade 1 mobilization | small amplitude glide at beginning range of joint play- ants doing pushups |
| grade 1 mobilization used when | patient is in a lot of pain, spasms limit movement early in ROM |
| grade 2 mobilization | large amplitude glide at midrange |
| grade 2 mobilization used for | pain control, spasm reduction |
| grade 3 mobilization | large amplitude glide at the end range of joint play |
| grade 3 used for | increasing periarticular extensibility, used when pain is low |
| grade 4 mobilization | small amplitude glide at END RANGE of joint play |
| grade 4 used for | increasing periarticular extensibility |
| grade 5 mobilisation | HVSAM, thrust mobilization , no oscillation |
| grades of traction | 1,2,3 |
| grade 1 traction | LOOSEN- used with all gliding motions and for pain relief |
| grade 2 traction | TIGHTEN - maintain joint play when ROM not possible , taking only to first resistance that you feel |
| grade 3 traction | STRETCH- to increase ROM, get into tension and pull even more |
| use grade _____ when pain before resistance | 1 or 2 |
| use grade ____ when pain AT resistance | 2,3 |
| use grade____when pain after resistance | 3,4 |
| how to progress prescription | move out of LPP, increase grade, move from oscillating to static |
| contraindications to mobilization treatment | malignancy in treatment area, metabolic bone disease, fusion, ankylosis, osteomyelitis, fracture |
| RELATIVE contraindications (based on clinician) | excessive pain, swelling, arthroplasty, pregnancy, hyper mobility, spondylolisthesis, rheumatoid arthritis |
| always mobilize in direction of joint's ___ | GLIDE |
| mobilization with movement | simultaneous joint mobilization as the patient moves, fostering mobility through patient's ROM |
