Quiz on Peripheral Joint Mobilization

What is the purpose of peripheral joint mobilization?

• To immobilize the joint

• To reduce pain and improve motion

• To increase muscle spasm

• To limit joint nutrition

What is the difference between mobilization and manipulation?

• Mobilization is active while manipulation is passive

• Mobilization is performed at a fast speed while manipulation is slow

• Mobilization is a passive technique while manipulation uses physiological motion

• Mobilization is used for joint nutrition while manipulation is for pain reduction

What is the purpose of thrust technique in joint mobilization?

• To reduce muscle tension

• To stimulate joint receptors and snap adhesions

• To improve joint nutrition

• To immobilize the joint

What are the types of movements involved in joint mobilization?

• Inward and outward movements

• Flexion and extension movements

• Physiological and accessory movements

• Active and passive movements

What is the purpose of rolling in joint mobilization?

• To decrease joint space

• To slide one bone across another

• To increase joint nutrition

• To rotate one bone segment about a stationary axis

What is the effect of joint mobilization on synovial fluid?

• Causes joint effusion

• Decreases synovial fluid movement

• Increases nutrients to the cartilage

• Reduces joint play

What are the indications for joint mobilization?

• Unhealed fracture and excessive pain

• Total joint replacement and bone disease

• Functional immobility and pain

• Hyper mobility and inflammation

What is the purpose of graded oscillation technique in joint mobilization?

• To tighten the tissues around the joint

• To inhibit pain and improve synovial fluid movement

• To stretch the joint capsule

• To immobilize the joint

What is the direction of application of distraction techniques in joint mobilization?

• Perpendicular to the treatment plan

• Parallel to the treatment plan

• Opposite to the joint surface

• In the same direction as the bone swings

What is the purpose of sustained joint play technique in joint mobilization?

• To tighten the tissues around the joint

• To reduce synovial fluid movement

• To stretch the joint surface and increase joint play

• To immobilize the joint
