Tibiofemoral joint distraction is indicated for what? testing, initial treatment, pain control, general mobility
Tibiofemoral posterior glide is indicated for what Testing; to increase flexion
Tibiofemoral anterior glide is indicated for what? To increase extension
Patellofemoral joint distal glide is indicated for what? for normal knee flexion
Patellofemoral joint proximal glide is indicated for what? For normal knee extension
Patellofemoral joint medial glide is indicated for what? To increase patellar mobility
Patellofemoral joint lateral glide is indicated for what? To increase patellar mobility
Proximal tibiofibular joint anterior (ventral) glide is indicated for what To increase movement of the fibular head; to reposition a posteriorly subluxed head
Distal tibiofibular joint anterior (ventral) or posterior (dorsal) glide is indicated for what? To increase mobility of the mortise when it was restricting ankle dorsiflexion
Resting position of the talocrural joint 10 degrees plantarflexion
Talocrural distraction is indicated for what testing, initial treatment, pain control, general mobility
Talocrural dorsal (posterior glide) is indicated for what? To increase dorsiflexion
Talocrural ventral (anterior) glide is indicated for what? To increase plantarflexion

Subtalar distraction is indicated for what? testing, initial treatment, pain control, general mobility for inversion/eversion
Subtalar medial glide is indicated for what? To increase eversion
Subtalar lateral glide is indicated for what? To increase inversion
Intertarsal and tarsometatarsal plantar glides are indicated for what? To increase plantar flexion accessory motion (necessary for supination)
Intertarsal and tarsometatarsal dorsal glide is indicated for what? To increase dorsal gliding accessory motion (necessary for pronation)
