UE joint mobs

Shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint mobs

QuestionAnswer
GHJ resting position Shoulder abducted 55 degrees, horizontally abducted 30 degrees, and rotated so forearm is in horizontal plane with respect to the body (called plane of the scapular
Glenohumeral distraction is indicated for what? Testing; initial treatment (sustained grade 2); pain control (grade 1-2 oscillations); general mobility (sustained grade 3)
Glenohumeral caudal glide in resting position is indicated for what? To increase aBduction (sustained grade 3), to reposition to humeral head is superiorly positioned. Caudal = inferior directed force
Glenohumeral posterior glide indicated for what? To increase flexion; to increase internal rotation
Glenohumeral anterior glide indicated for what? To increase extension; to increase external rotation
Sternoclavicular posterior glides are indicated for what? To increase retraction
Sternoclavicular superior glides are indicated for what? To increase depression of the CLAVICLE
Sternoclavicular anterior glides are indicated for what? To increase protraction
Sternoclavicular inferior glides are indicated for what? To increase CLAVICULAR elevation
Scapulothoracic soft tissue mobilization are used to obtain what? Scapular motions of elevation, depression, protraction, retraction, upward downward rotation, and winging for normal shoulder girdle mobility
What's convex and concave in the humeroulnar joint Convex trochlea; concave olecranon fossa
Resting position for humeroulnar articulation 70 degrees elbow flexion, forearm supinated 10 degrees
Humeroulnar distraction is indicated for what? Initial treatment (sustained grade 2); pain control (Grade 1-2 oscillation); to increase flexion or extension (grade 3-4)
Humeroulnar distal glide is indicated for what? To increase flexion
Humeroulnar radial glide is indicated to what? To increase varus. This is an accessory motion of the joint that accompanies elbow flexion and is therefore used to progress flexion
Humeroulnar ulnar glide is indicated for what? To increase valgus. This is an accessory motion of the joint that accompanies elbow extension and is therefore used to progress extension.
Humeroradial joint resting position Elbow is extended and forearm is supinated to the end of the available range
Humeroradial distraction is indicated for what? To increase mobility of the humeroradial joint; to manipulate a pushed elbow (proximal displacement of the radius)
Humeroradial dorsal glides are indicated for what? dorsal glide head of radius is indicated to increase elbow extension
Humeroradial volar glides are indicated for what? To increase flexion
Humeroradial compression is indicated for what? To reduce a pulled elbow subluxation
Proximal radioulnar joint resting position elbow is flexed 70, and the forearm is supinated 35
Proximal radioulnar dorsal glides are indicated for what? To increase pronation (PPP)
Proximal radioulnar volar glides are indicated for what? To increase supination
Distal radioulnar joint resting position? forearm supinated 10 degrees
Distal radioulnar dorsal glide is indicated to do what? To increase supination
Distal radioulnar volar glide is indicated to do what? Increase pronation
Radiocarpal joint resting position Straight line through the radius and 3rd metacarpal with slight ulnar deviation
Radiocarpal distraction is indicated for what? Testing; initial treatment; pain control; general mobility of the wrist
Radiocarpal joint dorsal glide is indicated for what? to increase flexion
Radiocarpal joint ventral glide is indicated for what? to increase extension
Radiocarpal joint ulnar glide is indicated for what? To increase radial deviation
Radiocarpal joint glide is indicated for what? To increase ulnar deviation
For the ulnar-meniscal-triquetral articulation, ow do you unlock the articular disk? The articular disk may block motions of the wrist or forearm Apply a glide of the ulnar volarly on a fixed triquetrum
Carpometacarpal and intermetacarpal volar glide is indicated for what? To increase mobility of the arch of the hand
Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb resting position Midway between radial abduction/adduction and between palmar abduction/adduction
Carpometarcarpal distraction (thumb) is indicated for what? testing, initial treatment, pain control, general mobility
Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb: ulnar glide is indicated for what? To increase radial adduction
Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb: radial glide is indicated for what? To increase radial abduction
Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb: dorsal glide is indicated for what? To increase palmar abduction
Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb: volar glide is indicated for what? To increase palmar adduction
Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the fingers resting position Light flexion for all joints
Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal distraction is indicated for what? testing; initial treatment; pain control; general mobility
Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal volar glide is indicated for what? To increase flexion
Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal dorsal glide is indicated for what? To increase extension
Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal radial/ulnar glide (depending on the finger) is indicated for what? To increase abduction/adduction
