Davis Company Joint Mobilization/Manipulation Manual therapy techniques that are used to modulate pain and treat joint impairments that limit ROM by specifically addressing the
altered mechanics of the joint Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Definition of Terms Mobilization/Manipulation Thrust manipulation/high-velocity thrust (HVT) Self-Mobilization (Auto-Mobilization) Mobilization With Movement (MWM) Physiological Movements Osteokinematics
Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Definition of Terms (cont'd) Accessory Movements Component motion Joint play: arthrokinematics Manipulation Under Anesthesia Muscle Energy Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company
Basic Concepts of Joint Motion: Arthrokinematics Joint Shapes Ovoid Sellar (saddle) Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Basic Concepts of Joint Motion: Arthrokinematics (cont'd) Types of Motion
Swing: Movement of the bony lever about an axis of motion Motion of the bone surfaces in the joint Roll Slide/translation Combined roll-sliding in a joint (glide) Spin Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Convex-Concave Rule Basis for determining the direction of the mobilizing force when joint mobilization
gliding techniques are used Sliding is in the opposite direction of the angular movement of the bone if the moving surface is convex Sliding is in the same direction if the moving surface is concave Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Passive-Angular Stretching Versus Joint-Glide Stretching Passive-angular stretching may cause
increased pain or joint trauma Joint-glide is safer and more selective Controlled Replicates normal joint mechanics Force is specific to target tissues Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Other Accessory Motions That Affect the Joint Compression Traction: Longitudinal Pull
Long axis traction Distraction: Separation of Joint Surfaces Joint traction or joint separation Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Effects of Joint Motion Helps move synovial fluid to maintain cartilage health Maintains extensibility and tensile strength of articular and periarticular tissues
Provides sensory input for proprioceptive feedback important for balance response Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Indications for Joint Mobilization/ Manipulation Pain, Muscle Guarding, and Spasm Neurophysiological effects Mechanical effects Reversible Hypomobility

Davis Company Non-Thrust Oscillation Techniques Grade I: Small Amplitude at Beginning of Range Pain inhibition and fluid movement Grade II: Large Amplitude Within the Range Pain inhibition and fluid movement Grade III: Large Amplitude Up to the Limit into Resistance Stretching maneuver
Grade IV: Small Amplitude at the Limit into Resistance Stretching maneuver Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Non-Thrust Sustained Joint-Play Techniques Grade I: Loosen: Small Amp Distraction Pain relief Grade II: Tighten: Distraction or Glide to Tighten Tissue
Pain relief, assess joint sensitivity, maintain joint play Grade III: Stretch: Distraction or Glide Increase joint play Copyright 2013. F.A. Davis Company Comparison of Oscillation and Sustained Techniques Representation of Oscillation Techniques
