  1. Peripheral Joint Mobilization-- Shoulder Joints Huei-Ming Chai, PT PhD School of Physical Therapy National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan June 23, 2008

  2. Manual Therapy • Joint mobilization for restoration of joint alignment or joint mobility • osteokinematics (physiological movement) • arthrokinematics (accessory movement) • Mulligan’s techniques: SNAG, MWM • Soft tissue mobilization for establishment of muscular balance (neuromuscular therapy) • PNF stretch • muscle energy technique • Sweden massage • deep friction massage • myofascial release • connective tissue massage • nerve mobilization • Chinese massage

  3. Mobilization vs. Manipulation • mobilization: repetitive passive movement of varying amplitudes of low velocity applied at different parts of the range depending on the effects desired • manipulation: a high-velocity thrust of small amplitude performed at the limit of available movement

  4. Rationales of joint mobilization • To relieve pain and muscle guarding increasing proprioceptive input to the spinal cord so as to inhibit ongoing nociceptive input to anterior horn cells and central receiving area • To restore accessory movement (joint play)

  5. Concave-Convex Rule convex on concave concave on convex

  6. Treatment Plane • treatment plane is the plane that parallel to the articular surface of the concave component of the joint to be treated • Kaltenborn FM: direction of mobilization define by treatment plane • Mulligan B: always parallel or perpendicular to treatment plane only

  7. Closed-Packed Position • The joint surface becomes maximally congruent. • The joint capsule and major ligaments become twisted, causing joint surface to approximate. • The joint become locked so that no further movement is possible in that direction.

  8. Position of Joint • appropriate for the stage of the joint problem and the skill of the therapist: • resting position: for an acute problem or an inexperienced therapist • other starting position toward motion barrier: for a skilled therapist in non-acute condition

  9. Hand placement • fixation hand • stabilization of the joint component to be fixed • mobilizing hand • placing as close to the joint as possible

  10. IV III II V I Range: initial limited full Techniques (I) • direction • distraction • gliding • amplitude • depending on pain, muscle guarding or degree of limitation • Maitland's grades

  11. Techniques (II) • velocity • slow stretch for capsular or ligamentous tightness or adhesion: application with rhythm, slow speed, and the slack position • fast oscillation (rhythm: 2-3 cycles per second) for relieving of pain and muscle guarding in the • acute conditions as a treatment • chronic conditions to prepare for more vigorous stretching or to promote more relaxation of muscles controlling the joint

  12. No Pain At All pain muscle spam vessel constriction nociceptive stimulation accumulation of metabolites

  13. Indications (I) • used in the joints with restriction of joint play that cause pain or restriction of physiological motion, especially in the cases due to capsular or ligamentous tightness or adhesion • For gentle mobilization carried out in the pain-free range • severe pain • spasm increased after testing • presence of neurological deficit • pain disturbing sleeping • For more vigorous mobilization • joint irritability minimal with muscle guarding on movement • mobility testing limited but does not aggravate pain • limitation of motion by tension of tissues rather than pain • no neurological deficit

  14. Indications (II) • For manipulation • used as a progression from vigorous mobilization that has not produced the maximum improvement of signs and symptoms considered possible • used as a primary treatment in joints with no articular inflammatory signs and the restricted joint has been identified through mobility testing • used in joints with minimal pain that appears only at the end of the range

  15. Patient Response to Joint Mobilization • improved after treatment  continue treatment until symptoms are subside • exacerbated for hours after treatment but improved later  continue but decrease dosage • exacerbated immediately after treatment  • reassess patient’s condition • gentle traction of the treated segment • documentation of all physical findings • stationary after 3-5 treatments  re-evaluate patient’s condition

  16. Absolute Contraindications • bacterial infection: • cellulitis • neoplasm with metastasis to bone: • malignancy or benign tumor (cancer) • recent fracture: psudoarthrosis • bone disease: Osteogenesis Imperfecta • potential destruction of ligaments or capsule: RA or dysplasia of odontoid process

  17. odontoid process transverse ligament

  18. Relative Contraindications • joint effusion • in the status of acute inflammation • degenerative joint disease in acute stage or bony block • marked rheumatoid arthritis • osteoporosis • internal derangement • general debilitation • pregnancy • hypermobility in mobility testing • moderate to severe deformities • psychological changes • neurosis • hysteria • depression

  19. neutral rotation to left Relative Contraindications • for spinal mobilization • vertebral artery insufficiency • ligament instability

  20. Mobilization to the Shoulder Joint • Glenohumeral joint • Thoracoscapular articulation • Sternoclavicular joint • Acromioclavicular joint

  21. Glenohumeral Joint (GHJ) • convex on cave joint • proximal component: concave glenoid cavity • distal component: convex humeral head • joint type: ball and socket • DOF = 3 • flexion/ extension: posterior/ anterior glide • abduction/ adduction: inferior/ superior glide • external/ internal rotation: anterior/ posterior glide • Note: retroversion of the humeral head about 30º posterior to the frontal axis of the elbow joint (scapular plane)

  22. Glenohumeral Joint (cont’d) • neutral position: anatomic position • resting position: 70 of shoulder abduction and 30 of flexion (horizontal adduction) • closed packed position: 90 of shoulder abduction and full external rotation

  23. Basic Mobilization Techniques • distraction: anterolateral • inferior glide: inferolateral • posterior glide: posterolateral • anterior glide: anteromedial

  24. Distraction of GHJ force direction: anterolateral

  25. Inferior Glide of GHJ force direction: inferolateral

  26. Posterior Glide of GHJ force direction: posterolateral

  27. Anterior Glide of GHJ force direction: anteromedial

  28. Advanced Mobilization Techniques • inferior glide with distraction • inferior glide with shoulder internal rotation • inferior glide in sitting position • posterior glide in sitting position

  29. Inferior Glide of GHJ with Distraction force direction: inferolateral

  30. Inferior Glide of GHJ with IR force direction: inferolateral

  31. Posterior Glide of GHJ in Sitting force direction: posterolateral

  33. Scapulothoracic Articulation (STA) • concave on convex • proximal component:convex rib cage • distal component:concave anterior surface of the scapula • motion: results of motions occurring at STJ and ACJ • scapular elevation/ depression • scapular abduction/ adduction • scapular upward/downward rotation • DOF = 3
