Definition of a joint mobilisation
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
A skilled passive movement of the articular surfaces performed by a physical therapist to decrease pain or increase joint mobility.
Edward P. Mulligan, 2001
9@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Anatomy of a synovial joint
• The synovial joint is the most common type of joint found in the body
• Most evolved and therefore most mobile type of joints
• Articular surfaces are covered with hyaline cartilage
10@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Anatomy of a synovial joint
• Between the articular surfaces there is a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid
• The joint is surrounded by an articular capsule which is fibrous in nature and is lined by synovial membrane
• The synovial membrane lines the entire joint except the articular surfaces covered by hyaline cartilage
11@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Types of synovial joints
• Pivot
• Ball and Socket
• Hinge
• Condyloid
• Saddle
• Gliding
12@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Joint kinematics
Understanding joint movement…• Physiological – “movement you see”
• Accessory – “movement you feel”
13
Physiological
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
• Known as Osteokinematic joint movements
• The natural movements that occur in our joints
• Rotation around an axis
• Can be analysed from movement quality and symptom response
14@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
15@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Physiological Movement occurs in different
planes…
16
Accessory
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
• Known as Arthrokinematic joint movements
• Articular movements between two joint surfaces:• Roll• Glide • Spin
• Occur with all active/passive physiological joint movement.
• Necessary for full, pain-free range of movement
• Movements that we FEEL
17
Arthrokinematic Roll
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
• New points of one surface come into contact with the other surface
• This can only occur when the two joint surfaces are incongruent
• Analogy: wheel
18
Arthrokinematic Glide
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
• One joint surfaces slides or translates over the other
• Occurs when two surfaces are congruent and flat, or congruent and curved
• Analogy: An ice-skater’s blade (one point) sliding across the ice surface (many points)
19
Arthrokinematic Spin
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
• Rotation around a longitudinal axis
• One joint surface rotates around another
• Analogy: a top spinning on the table (if it were to remain upright and in one place)
20
Joint Morphology
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Joint surfaces can be described as either:
1. Convex: Male, Arched, Rounded
2. Concave: Female, Shallow, Hollowed
Knowing that a joint surface is concave or convex is important because shape determines motion
21
Convex on Concave
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
• Concave surface is fixed and the convex surface moves over it.
• Physiological and accessory joint movements occur in the opposite direction
• Glide and Roll are in opposite directions
22
Concave on Convex
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
• Convex segment is static with the concave surface moving over it
• Physiological and accessory joint motions are in the same direction
• Roll and glide are in the same direction
23
Assessment
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
24
Assessing physiological joint movements
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
The therapist passively takes joints through their available range.
Used to assess:
1. Available range of movement at a joint2. Presence/absence of a capsular pattern3. End-feel4. Pain
25
Capsular Patterns – Cyriax (1982)
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
• A series of limitations of joint movement when the joint capsule is a limiting structure.
• Usually represents pathology/restriction from within the joint or capsule itself.
• Unique pattern to each synovial joint
• Assessed by evaluating the available ROM and ‘end-feel’ in joints passively
26@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Joint Capsular Pattern (in order of most limited)
Cervical Spine Side flexion & rotations equally limited,extension
Thoracic Spine Side flexion & rotation equally limited, extension
Lumbar Spine Extension, Side flexion & rotation equally limited.
Shoulder (Glenohumeral) Lateral rotation, abduction, medial rotation
Elbow (Humeroulnar) Flexion, extension
Wrist Flexion & extension equally limited
Hip Medial rotation, flexion, abduction
Knee Flexion, extension
Ankle (Talocrural) Plantar flexion, dorsi flexion
27
End-feels
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
‘The specific sensation imparted through the examiner’s hands at the extreme of passive movement’ (Cyriax, 1982)
Can be categorised as either:
• Normal end-feel• Abnormal end-feel
28
Normal End-feels
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
1. HardBone-to-bone approximation E.g. extension of the elbow
2. SoftCharacteristic of a stop to the movement due to approximation of tissueE.g. Knee flexion
3. Elastic Felt when tissues are placed on a passive stretch causing an elastic resistance E.g. Lateral rotation of the hip or shoulder
29
Abnormal End-feels
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
1. HardDifferent from that of ‘normal’ hard end-feel Often felt in early OAInvoluntary muscle spasm causes provides a break to movementAlso due to capsular contracture
2. SpringyAssociated with mechanical joint displacement, usually a loose bodyFeels like the joint springs or bounces back just before end range
3. EmptyExaminer does not have the opportunity to appreciate true end-feelDue to pain or apprehension

proximal or distal joint positioning
• Stretch• Heat• Soft tissue
mobilisation/Myofascial release
Muscle weakness • ROM affected by gravity/resistance
• Strengthen
Pain • Empty end-feel• Reduced willingness to
perform active movements

Aims of joint mobilisations
Restoring normal range of movement
Pain gate theory
Descending inhibition
Increased local blood flow
Synovial sweep
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Restoring normal range of movement
• Reduces pain (PGT)
• Enables normal biomechanics
• Functional movement
• Indication of proper muscle tone and balance around a joint
• Abnormal joint function are secondary to abnormal postures, injury and stress
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Pain gate theory (PGT)• Proposed in 1965 by Melzack and Wall
• Commonly used explanation of pain transmission
• 3 types of sensory nerves involved in the transmission:
• A- Beta fibres • A- Delta fibres • C-fibres
38
Pain gate theory (PGT)
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
- a-beta fibresResponsible for “sharp” pain, large diameter and myelinated, fast transmission fibre - a-Delta fibres Small diameter and myelinated, responsive to vibration and light touch – fast reactive - C – fibres Small diameter and un-myelinated, throbbing or burning, slow
• Size = bigger a nerve, the quicker its conduction
• Speed = increased with myelin sheath
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Pain gate theory (PGT)• All nerves synapse onto projection cells and
travel up the CNS to the brain
• Spinal cord has inhibitory interneurons acts as “gate keeper”
• When there is no sensation from the nerves the inhibitory interneurons stop signals – no need for brain response (“gate closed”)
• When smaller fibres are stimulated the inhibitory interneurons do not act – “gate open”
• Pain is sensed
40@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Descending inhibition• Mobilisations have shown to stimulate areas if the
brain, instrumental in experience of pain
• These areas include:- Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)- Amygdyla- Periaqueductal Gray (PAG)- Rostral Ventromedial Medualla (RVM)
• The doral area of PAG and RVM, have been shown to selective produce analgesia to cause sympatho-excitation and the release of endorphins
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Increased local blood flow
Increased nutrition supply
Remove inflammatory exudate
Produces movement so that blood/fluid can move in and out of articular cartilage within joints
Maintenance of healthy articular cartilage and proper joint function.
Stimulates repair of cellular damage
Enhances the healing process
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Synovial sweep • Lubrication of a joint through a 'synovial sweep'
mechanism
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Synovial sweep • An oscillation/movement increases
lubrication of cartilage • Provides nutrients to maintain healthy
joints • Elasticity increases range of movement• Synovial fluid is found in the cavities of
synovial joints• Egg white–like consistency, with the
principal role of reducing friction between the articulating surfaces during movement.
• Lack of lubricated synovial fluid causes poor joint dysfunction and secondary injuries
45@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Precautions to joint mobilisations • Excessive pain or swelling • Arthroplasty • Pregnancy • Hypermobility • Spondylolisthesis • Rheumatoid arthritis • Vertebrobasilar insufficiency
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS• Malignancy in area of treatment• Infectious Arthritis• Metabolic Bone Disease • Neoplastic Disease• Fusion or Ankylosis • Osteomyelitis• Osteoporosis • Fracture or Ligament Rupture
47@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Treatment PrinciplesNeed to consider the following:
1. The Desired Effect - what effect of the mobilisation is the therapist wanting? Relieve pain or stretch tissues?
2. The Starting Position - of patient and therapist to make the treatment effective and comfortable.
3. The Direction - AP/PA
48@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
4. The Method of Application - The position, grade, amplitude, rhythm and duration of the technique.
5. The Expected Response - Should the patient be pain-free, have an increased range or have reduced soreness?
(Hengeveld and Banks, 2005)
Treatment Principles
1 oscillation per second = 30 oscillations if high SIN factor / 60 if low SIN factor (Donatelli, 2001)
49@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Maitland’s grading system
50@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Small amplitude movement at the beginning of the available ROM
Clinical Reasoning: Donatelli (2001)
• 7-10/10 VAS pain rating• Pain before resistance upon palpation• Acute phase of injury• Inflammatory phase of healing• Aim to reduce pain and neutralise joint
pressures
Grade 1
51@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Grade 2Large amplitude movement at within the available ROM
Clinical Reasoning: Donatelli (2001)
• 5-7/10 VAS pain rating• Pain and resistance occur simultaneously upon
palpation• Proliferation stage of recovery• Aim to reduce pain and neutralise joint pressures
52@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Grade 3Large amplitude movement that reaches the end ROM
Clinical Reasoning: Donatelli (2001)
• 3-5/10 VAS pain rating• Resistance before pain• Scar maturation/remodelling phase of healing• Aim to treat stiffness/hypomobility
53@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Grade 4Small amplitude movement at the very end range of motion
Clinical Reasoning: Donatelli (2001)
• 1-3/10 VAS pain rating• Increase ROM through promotion of capsular
mobility and plastic deformation

Evidence
@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
64@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Upper Extremity Comparison of Supervised Exercise With and Without Manual Physical Therapy for Patients With Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (Bang et al, 2000):
Manual therapy combined with supervised clinical exercise resulted in superior outcomes to exercise alone in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome
The effect of joint mobilization as a component of comprehensive treatment for primary shoulder impingement syndrome (Conroy et al, 1998):
Mobilisation decreased 24-hour pain and pain associated with subacromial compression test in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome
65@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Lower ExtremityA randomised controlled trial of a passive accessory joint mobilization on acute ankle inversion sprains (Green et al, 2001)
Addition of talocrural mobilizations to the RICE protocol in the management of inversion ankle injuries necessitated fewer treatments to achieve pain-free dorsiflexion and to improve stride speed more than RICE alone.
Effect of physical therapy on limited joint mobility in the diabetic foot. A pilot study (Dijs et al, 2001)
Joint mobilization and physical therapy resulted in a significant, although temporary, improvement in the mobility of the ankle and foot in diabetic patients with limited joint mobility and neuropathy
66@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk
Spinal Mobilisations Manipulation or mobilisation for neck pain: A Cochrane Systematic Review (Gross et al, 2010)
27 trials reviewed by two authorsModerate quality evidence suggested manipulation and mobilisation produced similar effects on pain, function and patient satisfactionLow quality evidence supported thoracic manipulation as an additional therapy for pain reduction and increased function in acute pain Mobilisation for neck pain, low quality evidence for subacute and chronic neck pain indicated that:
1. A combination of Maitland mobilisation techniques was similar to acupuncture for immediate pain relief and increased function
2. There was no difference between mobilisation and acupuncture as additional treatments for immediate pain relief and improved function
3. Neural dynamic mobilisations may produce clinically important reduction of pain immediately post-treatment.
