Physiological Accessory
Result of concentric or Manner in which one
eccentric muscle articulating joint surface
action moves relative to
another
Bone can move about
Normal accessory
axis of rotation movement must occur
Also called for full range
osteokinematics physiological mvmt. to
Voluntary occur
Also called joint
arthrokinematics
PHYSIOLOGICAL & ACCESSORY MOTION
Closed-Packed Loose-packed
position position
Maximal contact of Resting position
articulating surfaces Joint surfaces
Joint capsule and maximally separated
ligaments tight or Joint capsule and
tense ligaments most
No joint play relaxed
Most appropriate for
eval of joint play,
traction, and JM
JOINT POSITION
Indications/Goals
Reduce pain
Decrease muscle guarding
Stretching or lengthening tissue surrounding joint
(capsular & ligamentous)
Break adhesions and stretch tissue to permanent
structural changes
Reflexogenic effects that inhibit or facilitate muscle
tone or stretch reflex
Proprioceptive effects to improve postural and
kinesthetic awareness
JOINT MOBILIZATION TECHNIQUES
Indications Contraindications
Pain Pain with mobilization
Grades I & II technique
Pain treated 1 st and Inflammatory arthritis
stiffness 2nd
Stimulate
Malignancy
mechanoreceptors that Bone disease
limit transmission of Neurological
pain perception
involvement
Treated daily
Bone
Hypomobility
Grades III & IV
fractures/deformities
3-4 x week Vascular disorders
EQUIPMENT
Manual technique
May require strap for stabilization or traction
Wedge or foam roll for stabilization
Treatment table-preferably a high-low table
Theraband may be used for grip
TRACTION
Grade I Grade II
Traction neutralizes Effectively separates
pressure w/o actual articulating surfaces
separation “Takes up slack” or
eliminates play in joint
Used w/all JM capsule
Pain relief Grade III
“Stretch” traction that
involves actual stretching
of surrounding soft tissue
Increase mobility
KALTENBORNS 3 GRADES
EQUIPMENT FOR TRACTION
Manual technique
Towel sometimes used to assist pull
Traction Tables
Cervical and Lumbar
Home Devices
Cervical and lumbar
