What is it?What is it?
Manual therapy techniques that are Manual therapy techniques that are used to modulate pain and treat joint used to modulate pain and treat joint dysfunctions that limit range of dysfunctions that limit range of motion by specially addressing the motion by specially addressing the altered mechanic of the jointaltered mechanic of the joint

3 3 Accessory MovementsAccessory Movements• RollRoll• GlideGlide• SpinSpin
RollRoll
New points on one surface meet new New points on one surface meet new points on another surfacepoints on another surface
Occurs in the same direction as bone Occurs in the same direction as bone movementmovement
Occurs with gliding but never aloneOccurs with gliding but never alone
GlideGlide
Same point on one surface comes Same point on one surface comes into contact with new points on the into contact with new points on the opposite surfaceopposite surface
The direction of the glide depends The direction of the glide depends on shape of the moving surfaceon shape of the moving surface
SpinSpin
Rotation around a stationary Rotation around a stationary mechanical axismechanical axis
Primarily only takes place in the Primarily only takes place in the glenohumeral and radiohumeral glenohumeral and radiohumeral jointsjoints
Convex-Concave RulesConvex-Concave Rules What is the shape of a concave and convex What is the shape of a concave and convex
surface?surface? What shape is the femur and tibia at the What shape is the femur and tibia at the
knee?knee?
Convex and concave surface-the roll is Convex and concave surface-the roll is always in the direction of the bone always in the direction of the bone movementmovement• For example: If the bone is moving For example: If the bone is moving
anteriorly, the roll is anterior and vice anteriorly, the roll is anterior and vice versaversa
Convex-Concave RulesConvex-Concave Rules
If the convex surface is moving on If the convex surface is moving on fixed concave surface, roll and fixed concave surface, roll and glide occur in the opposite glide occur in the opposite directionsdirections
If the concave surface is moving If the concave surface is moving
on fixed convex surface, roll and on fixed convex surface, roll and glide occur in the same directionglide occur in the same direction
MobilizationMobilization
A passive movement performed by A passive movement performed by the clinicians for intending to the clinicians for intending to increase mobility and/or decrease increase mobility and/or decrease pain using gliding and traction pain using gliding and traction techniquestechniques

Treatment PlaneTreatment Plane
Treatment plane lies in the concave Treatment plane lies in the concave articular surfacearticular surface
Treatment plane moves with the Treatment plane moves with the concave surface concave surface
GlidingGliding Gliding is a movement where the joint Gliding is a movement where the joint
surfaces are passively displaced parallel to surfaces are passively displaced parallel to the treatment planethe treatment plane
Glides are used to improve a particular Glides are used to improve a particular movement (i.e. flexion or extension of the movement (i.e. flexion or extension of the knee)knee)
Glides are performed in the direction of Glides are performed in the direction of arthrokinematic movementarthrokinematic movement
Mobilization GradingMobilization Grading(Maitland)(Maitland)
Grade IGrade I Grade IIGrade II Grade IIIGrade III Grade IVGrade IV Grade VGrade V
Grade I - IVGrade I - IV
II: Small amplitude movement at the : Small amplitude movement at the beginning of the available ROMbeginning of the available ROM
II: Large amplitude movement within II: Large amplitude movement within the available ROMthe available ROM
III: Large amplitude movement that III: Large amplitude movement that reaches the end of ROMreaches the end of ROM
IV: Small amplitude at the very end ROMIV: Small amplitude at the very end ROM
Grade VGrade V
High velocity thrust of small High velocity thrust of small amplitude a the end of the available amplitude a the end of the available ROM and within its anatomical ROM and within its anatomical rangerange
This is referred to as a manipulationThis is referred to as a manipulation
TractionTraction The process of pulling one bony surface The process of pulling one bony surface
away from the other (joint away from the other (joint separation)separation)
A passive bone movement which is at a A passive bone movement which is at a right angle to the treatment planeright angle to the treatment plane
A general mobilization technique that can A general mobilization technique that can improve mobility in all directionsimprove mobility in all directions
Traction (Grading)Traction (Grading)
Grade I: unweighting or barely Grade I: unweighting or barely separating the joint surfaces separating the joint surfaces
Grade II: slack of the capsule taken up Grade II: slack of the capsule taken up
Grade III: capsule and ligaments Grade III: capsule and ligaments
