Flashcards
0/15
Grade III Mobilization
Large amplitude movement that reaches the limit of available motion; Indicated for stretching and increasing mobility.
Lymphatic Draining Technique
Gentle, rhythmic stretching of the skin to enhance lymphatic circulation; Ideal for reducing swelling and detoxification.
Joint Distraction
Longitudinal force applied to a joint axis; Designed to separate joint surfaces, relieve pressure, and decrease pain.
Grade V Mobilization (Manipulation)
Small, quick thrust past the end range of motion; Indicated to break adhesions and realign joint surfaces.
Neurodynamic Mobilization
Techniques to mobilize the nervous system within the musculoskeletal framework; Helps resolve nerve entrapments and improve nerve gliding.
Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM)
Manual joint mobilization combined with active movement; Aimed at correcting positional faults and improving function.
Paris's Translatory Glide
Direct accessory movement applied through a joint surface; Helps in increasing joint mobility and correcting dysfunctions.
Grade II Mobilization
Large amplitude movement within the midrange of motion; Indicated for pain control and treating joint hypomobility.
Oscillatory Technique
Rhythmic, repetitive movements applied to a joint; Used for decreasing pain or increasing mobility.
Maitland's Mobilization
Passive oscillatory movement or sustained stretch applied by the therapist; Employed for managing pain and muscle guarding.
Grade I Mobilization
Small amplitude movement at the beginning of the available range of motion; Indicated for pain and spasm reduction
Grade IV Mobilization
Small amplitude movement at the end range of motion; Indicated for stretching and mobilization in individuals with limited joint mobility.
Kaltenborn's Traction Technique
Longitudinal glide that decreases joint compression; Useful for pain relief and increasing joint play.
Sustained Stretch Technique
Low load, prolonged stretch applied to a joint; Useful for tissue remodeling and increasing range of motion.
Soft Tissue Mobilization (STM)
Manual therapy techniques applied to muscle, fascia, and ligaments; Targets tissue extensibility and movement facilitation.
