DEFINITION/DESCRIPTION:
These techniques are described in general terms and may be used for assessment or treatment of any neuromusculoskeletal tissue in the body
Mobilization is a passive movement performed in such a manner that it is at all times within the ability of the model to prevent the movement. There are 2 type of passive mobilization performed for the purpose of relieving pain and restoring pain free functional movements;
- passive accessory movements are those movements which a subject cannot perform themselves
- passive physiological movements are those movements which a subject could perform themselves
Grades of Movement:
Grade I a small amplitude movement in resistance free range
Grade II a large amplitude movement in resistance free range
Grade III a large amplitude movement into resistance
Grade IV a small amplitude movement into resistance
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
- clinical features of cauda equine compression e.g. disturbance of bladder or bowel function, perinea anesthesia
- clinical features of cord compression
- vascular disorders
- vertigo
- hyper mobility syndromes
- infections
- active inflammatory arthropathies
- metabolic bone disease and endocrine disorders
- tumors
- congenital anomalies
HAZARDS/COMPLICATIONS/PRECAUTIONS:
- development and/or exacerbation of symptoms including protective muscle spasm or guarding during attempts to position model would contra-indicate continuation of the technique
INFECTION CONTROLS:
- appropriate hand hygiene
appropriate hygiene of plinth, pillows, all surfaces in direct contact with subject
