12 Questions
What influences the direction of sliding in a joint, according to the Kaltenborn Convex/Concave Rule?
The shape of the joint surface
In which direction does sliding occur if the surface of the moving bone is convex?
Opposite to the bone's physiological movement
What happens when pure roll movement occurs in a joint?
Joint dislocation
Where does joint surface impingement occur?
During pure slide movement
What is the Open or Resting position of a joint characterized by?
Greatest amount of play possible
When is a joint in its Close-packed position?
When ligaments are maximally tightened
Which of the following is NOT a type of passive movement?
Active movement for stretching
What is the main goal of mobilization?
To provide a safe and effective means for restoring normal joint play and/or decreasing pain
What is the difference between mobilization and manipulation?
Mobilization is a passive movement performed slowly, while manipulation involves sudden, high-velocity thrust movements
What are physiological movements?
Movements that the patient can perform voluntarily, such as flexion and extension
What are accessory movements?
Movements within the joint and surrounding tissue that are necessary for normal range of motion (osteokinematic) but that cannot performed by the patient, such as component motion and joint play
What are component motions?
Movements that are accompanied with active movement but are not under voluntary control
Learn about B-Joint play, the movement of bone surfaces within a joint, and accessory movements performed by therapists to assess range and symptoms. Explore concepts like compression, traction, and axial displacement in joint movements.
