    Study Notes

    Peripheral Joint Mobilization Advantages

    • Mobilization with stretching is more beneficial than passive stretching alone.

    Terminology

    • Caudal: Located towards the tail end.
    • Dorsal: Located on the back.
    • Volar: Located on the palm side (hand) or sole (foot).

    Open Pack Positions

    • Shoulder:
      • Abduction (Abd) 55 degrees, Horizontal Adduction (H Add) 30 degrees (in the plane of the scapula).
      • Convex-humerus, concave-glenoid.
    • Hip:
      • Flexion (Flx) 30 degrees, Abduction 30 degrees, slight External Rotation (ER).
      • Convex-femur, concave-acetabulum.
    • Knee (patello-femoral):
      • Extension
      • Convex-patella, concave-tibia.
    • Knee (tibio-femoral):
      • Flexion (Flx) 25 degrees.
      • Convex-femur, concave-tibia.
    • Ankle:
      • Plantar Flexion (PF) 10 degrees.
      • Convex-talus, concave-tibia and fibula.

    Grade I-IV Mobilization

    • Grade I:
      • Small amplitude oscillatory movement at the beginning of the range of motion.
    • Grade II:
      • Larger amplitude oscillatory movement in the mid-range of motion. Does not reach the first restriction.
    • Grade III:
      • Large amplitude oscillatory movement from the mid-range to end range, into tissue resistance.
    • Grade IV:
      • Small amplitude oscillatory movement at the end range of motion.
    • Grade I and II Benefits:
      • Primarily for pain modulation.
      • Unloads and decompresses.
      • Often used with stretching.
      • Stimulates synovial fluid to nourish cartilage.
      • Maintains joint play in the face of limited ROM and often used as the first treatment to understand joint restrictions (Grade II).
    • Grade III and IV Benefits:
      • Used to increase range of motion.
      • Stretches joint structures and increases joint play.
