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 |
