The purpose of this paper was to provide the understanding of theory, technique, clinical use about arthro kinematic approach. Difference between AKA and Joint mobilization was seen through Table 1, and the relation between AKA and Athro kinematics was seen through Table 2. Examples of AKA techniques were as follow ; 1. Cervical intervertebral joint, left C2/3. 2. Thoracic intervertebral joint, left T5/6. 3. Sacroiliac joint, left (1) Nutation-upward gliding (2) Nutation-downward gliding (3) Superior distraction (4) Inferior distraction 4. 1st. costovertebral joint, left 5. 2nd. sternocostal joint, left 6. AKA-streching exercise 7. AKA - resistive exercise Symptoms, diagnosis, treatment were discribed for clinical use, and they were expected further that clinical application of AKA might clarify many of joint dysfunction.
