Abstract

|
This study was introduce to Manual Mobilization of the Extremity Joints of Freddy M. Kaltenborn(1989).
Much of Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy is devoted to the evaluation and treatment of joint and related soft tissue disorders and one of the primary treatment methods is mobilization. When examination reveals joint dysfunction, especialy decreased range of motion, joint mobilization techniques are often utilized. Kaltenborns joint mobilization techniques are performed as passive examination or treatment movements by the therapist. There are three basic joint play movements : (1) traction.
(2) compression. and (3)translatoric gliding.
The purpose of joint mobilizaiton is to restore normal, painless joint function. Mechanically, the goal is to restore joint play and thus normalize roll-gliding which occurs during active movements.
