1.You are asked by the physical therapist to prepare a patient for the application of peripheral joint mobilization techniques to the patient’s left knee. Using a partner, perform this activity by demonstrating appropriate patient positioning, draping, and limb exposure. List adjunctive techniques that might be appropriate for patient relaxation, pain relief, compliance, and soft-tissue extensibility. Outline and describe closedpacked and loose-packed positions in reference to this case. Before the application of mobilization, the physical therapist instructed you to perform passive joint ROM to this patient’s knee. Define and describe the components of physiologic movement and contrast these with accessory joint movements. Give examples of each. Describe the convex-concave rule. During the application of passive ROM, you note a yielding compression during knee flexion. Define and describe this end-feel and give examples of two other distinct nonpathologic endrange feels. Contrast these with three clinically distinct abnormal endrange feels. Discuss capsular and noncapsular patterns.
