What is (joint) mobilization per Kisner and Colby? ***

|
the skilled passive movement of a joint and/or related soft tissues at varying speeds and amplitudes up to and including a small amplitude, high velocity thrust

|
high-velocity, short amplitude motion performed at end of pathologic limit to alter position or snap adhesions
|
|

|
- voluntary motions that occur within the joint ROM

|
What are component motions? ***
|
- accessory motions that occur with voluntary movement
(e.g., shoulder flexion with shoulder girdle rotation; scapula & AC / SC movement; tibia & femur with the "screw home" motion) - these motions cannot occur independently, but must occur for normal joint movement |
