Study Notes
Mobilization With Movement (MWM)
- Mobilization With Movement (MWM) is the concurrent application of sustained accessory mobilization applied by a therapist and an active physiological movement to end range applied by the patient.
- Brian R. Mulligan received the Honorary Fellowship of the New Zealand Society of Physiotherapists in 2008.
- MWM is widely used and advocated for peripheral joint dysfunction.
Characteristics of Joints
- A characteristic of a joint with dysfunction is a reduced range of motion.
- A characteristic of a normal joint is a normal range of motion.
MWM Treatment
- The purpose of re-evaluation in MWM treatment is to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
- The recommended number of repetitions in mobilization for peripheral joints during the first session is 3-5 sets of 3-5 repetitions.
- The recommended number of sets of repetitions for peripheral joint mobilization during the first session is 3-5 sets.
MWM Principles and Acronyms
