Description

Joint mobilization is a passive repetitive movement for various ranges of motion with low speed and various amplitudes and is used for the treatment of joint disease, improvement of low motion ability and pain reduction suggested by the compression and extension test mainly in synovial joint. In case of the joint function disorder caused by the structures comprising the joint (bone, joint capsule, ligament), joint mobilization can be applied. When both movements of structures around joints and muscles are restricted remarkably, soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization may be performed alternately. It is necessary to reveal the cause from a total evaluation in considering treatment, and look at the joint dysfunction from both aspects of soft tissue and joint in deciding treatment. Every joint dysfunction is caused by anatomic and structural dysfunctions, therefore, it is important to have the knowledge and techniques of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and manipulation for evaluation and treatment.<br>
