Convex-Concave Rule Determines the direction of decreased joint gliding and the appropriate direction for the mobilizing force.
Convex surface moving on a concave surface: Roll and slide occur in the opposite direction
Convex surface moving on a concave surface Mobilizing force should be applied in the opposite direction of the bone movement
Concave surface moving on a convex surface: Roll and slide occur in the same direction
