Refers to manual therapy techniques that are used to modulate pain and treat joint dysfunctions that limit ROM by specifically addressing the altered mechanics of joint.
|
Joint Mobilization
|
Passive skilled manual therapy techniques applied to joints definition of :
|
Mobilization/Manipulation
|
Refers to self-stretching techniques that use joints traction or glides:
|
Self-Mobilization ( Auto-mobilization )
|
Motions that occur b/w the joint surfaces allows the bones to move
|
Joint Play
|
The movements of the joint surfaces include:
|
Distraction Sliding Compression Rolling Spinning
|
The term ------------------ is used when these motions of the bone surfaces within the joint are described.
|
Arthrokinematics
|
Distract or slide the joint surfaces to:
|
Decrease pain or restore joint play
|
Type of motion occur b/w bony partners in a joint is influenced by the shape of joint surfaces:
|
Joint Shapes
|
AVOID or SELLAR are
|
Joint Shapes
|
One surface is convex, and the other is concave is:
|
Ovoid joint
|
One surface is concave in one direction and convex in the other, with the opposing surface convex and concave respectively
|
Sellar joint
|
The movement of the bony lever ( palanca ) is called:------------- and is classically described as:
|
Swing/ flex, ext, abd, add, rotation.
|
The amount of movement can be measured in degrees with a Goniometer is called:
|
ROM
|
Combination of rolling and sliding, or spinning are
|
Accessory motions
|
Angular motion of the bone ( swinging ) in the same direction as the swinging whether the surface is convex or concave
|
Rolling
