  2. Joint manipulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_manipulation

    Many definitions of joint manipulation have been proposed. [1] The most rigorous definition, based on available empirical research is that of Evans and Lucas: [2] "Separation (gapping) of opposing articular surfaces of a synovial joint, caused by a force applied perpendicularly to those articular surfaces, that results in cavitation within the synovial fluid of that joint."

  3. Joint mobilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_mobilization

    Joint mobilization is a manual therapy intervention, a type of straight-lined, passive movement of a skeletal joint that addresses arthrokinematic joint motion (joint gliding) rather than osteokinematic joint motion. It is usually aimed at a 'target' synovial joint with the aim of achieving a therapeutic effect. These techniques are used by a ...

    Mild, frequent and temporary adverse events occur in spinal manipulation which include temporary increase in pain, tenderness and stiffness. [3] These effects generally are reduced within 24–48 hours [ 66 ] Serious injuries and fatal consequences, especially from spinal manipulation in the upper cervical region, can occur, [ 67 ] but are ...

    Inversion and eversion are movements that tilt the sole of the foot away from (eversion) or towards (inversion) the midline of the body. [35] Eversion is the movement of the sole of the foot away from the median plane. [36] Inversion is the movement of the sole towards the median plane. For example, inversion describes the motion when an ankle ...

  6. Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_capsulitis_of_the...

    The hardening of the shoulder joint capsule is central to the disease process. This is the result of scar tissue around the joint capsule. [14] There also may be a reduction in synovial fluid, which normally helps the shoulder joint, a ball and socket joint, move by lubricating the gap between the humerus and the socket in the shoulder blade.

  7. Passive physiological intervertebral movements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_physiological...

    PPIVM assessments test the movement available at a specific spinal level through the application of a passive physiological movement. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Cervical PPIVMs can be performed in cervical lateral flexion or rotation, with the therapist restricting movement beyond a certain cervical level by blocking with the hand; this allows the ...

  8. Muscle imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_imbalance

    Other signs include joint pain or muscular pain, abnormal joint movement patterns or in some cases, muscle tears and lesions. [11] It can be diagnosed by demonstrating any one of the following: Joint inflammation and pain caused by muscle lesion. [1] Abnormal muscle movement pattern resulting from the compensation of the joint inflammation. [1]

  9. Interphalangeal joints of the foot - Wikipedia

    The only movements permitted in the joints of the digits are flexion and extension; these movements are more extensive between the first and second phalanges than between the second and third. The flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus flex the interphalangeal joint of the big toe and lateral four toes, respectively. The tendons of ...
