Perpendicular to Treatment Plane

Question 1

Draw and label grading the Kaltendon Method of Joint Play

Answer 1

Grade 1- Slow, small amplitude mvmt / no Tissue Resistance

Grade 2 - Slow, large amplitude mvmt / takes jt capsule to T.R.

Grade 3 - Slow, Larger amp. mvmt / takes jt cap THROUGH T.R.

Question 2

Draw the Maitland Method of Oscillation and list grading (5)

Answer 2

1. Slow, small mvmt / Does not take jt to Tissue Resistance
2. Slow, LARGE, mvmt / Does not take jt to T.R.
3. Slow, LARGE mvmt / TAKES jt to T.R.

4 & 5. High velocity, high amp. mvt / begins at limit of jt motion & takes jt into T.R.

*RMTs DO NOT perform these, as they move through jt motion and into T.R.
