| Term | Definition |
|---|
| slide is | translation of one joint surface on another. A fixed point on the moving surface contacts multiple points on the fixed surface. The axis moves during the motion and is usually located in the convex segment |
| three arthrokinematic movements | spin, slide, roll |
| AM we attempt to capture most often in PT testing | Slide |
| Gap, glide, traction, rotation and compression are examples of | Types of Accessory motion tests |
| Rotation replicates | Spin |
| Glide replicates | Slide |
| Convex-Concave rule | Therapist moves bone with convex joint surface Opposite the direction of restricted bone movement/ Therapist moves concave joint surface in the same direction of the restricted bone movement |
| Three judgments from AMTests | - discomfort reproduced? - motion (ab)normal? - end feel (ab)normal? |
| The one AMT judgment with evidence | Pain reproduction in spine |
| Evidence suggests motion assessments in spin via AMT are | unreliable |
| Convex-concave rule is useful for predicting | the direction of glide to indirectly assess length of soft tissue joint structures that likely limit physiological joint motions |
| Glides and rolls....and point of contact... | cancel each other out and POC stays essentially the same |
| Range in the Classification of Accessory Motion according to Kaltenborn | 0-6. 0=No movement, 6 is Complete instability. These two are operationally defined. The others are not |
| Ankylosis means | no movement |
| Alternative Classification of Accessory Motion (the one we'll use) is this | hypomobile, normal or hypermobile compared to uninvolved side |
| Alternative Classification of End-Feel (the one we'll use) has these three parts | Soft, Firm and Hard end-feels |
| In the presence of obvious inflamation, the accessory motion test is always ___ | contraindicated |
