What is (joint) mobilization per Kisner and Colby? ***
passive, skilled manual therapy techniques, applied to joints and related soft tissues at varying speeds and amplitudes using physiologic or accessory motions
Name another term for "mobilization." ***
manipulation (the terms are synonymous)
What is the definition of joint mobilization/manipulation per the APTA Guide to PT Practice? ***
the skilled passive movement of a joint and/or related soft tissues at varying speeds and amplitudes up to and including a small amplitude, high velocity thrust
What is a thrust? ***
high-velocity, short amplitude motion performed at end of pathologic limit to alter position or snap adhesions
What are physiologic movements? ***
- voluntary motions that occur within the joint ROM
- occur in cardinal planes
- a.k.a. osteokinematic, or swing, motions
- e.g., flexion, extension
What are accessory movements? ***
- involuntary movements
- necessary for normal ROM
Name two accessory movements. ***
- component motions
- joint play
What are component motions? ***
- accessory motions that occur with voluntary movement
(e.g., shoulder flexion with shoulder girdle rotation; scapula & AC / SC movement; tibia & femur with the "screw home" motion)

- these motions cannot occur independently, but must occur for normal joint movement

- occurs within joint
- necessary for full ROM
- only passive; usually a combination

same point on one surface comes into contact with new points on opposing surface
