Grade IV – Low amplitude, rhythmically oscillating joint glide that is performed at the end of the available arthrokinematic joint play. Designed to physically stretch the joint capsule. Grade V – This grade refers to the use of a single high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust performed at the end of the available joint play.
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 ...
Grade Findings I: Joint space narrowing, with or without subchondral sclerosis.

[3] A 1993 study by Watson and Trott suggested that PAIVM examinations are reliable when identifying symptomatic vertebral joints when assessing for cervicogenic headache .
An additional test of posterior cruciate ligament injury is the posterior sag test, where, in contrast to the drawer test, no active force is applied. Rather, the person lies supine with the leg held by another person so that the hip is flexed to 90 degrees and the knee 90 degrees. [ 3 ]

However, Type III fractures occur in 60% of all the open fracture cases. Infection of the Type III fractures is observed in 10% to 50% of the time. Therefore, in 1984, Gustilo subclassified Type III fractures into A, B, and C with the aim of guiding the treatment of open fractures, communication and research, and to predict outcomes.
