CCEP Joint Mobilization 2

Question 1

Which Maitland grade of mobilization uses large-amplitude oscillations at the end of the available range?

Accepted Answer

Grade III

Answer

Grade III mobilizations are large-amplitude oscillations performed at the end of the available range, engaging the tissue resistance.

Question 2

The convex-concave rule states that when a convex surface moves on a fixed concave surface, the roll and glide occur in which directions?

Accepted Answer

Opposite directions

Answer

When a convex surface moves on a concave surface, the roll and glide occur in opposite directions.

Question 3

Which joint mobilization technique is most appropriate for treating a dorsal glide restriction of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint?

Accepted Answer

Dorsal glide of the proximal phalanx

Answer

A dorsal glide restriction at the PIP joint is treated by applying a dorsal glide to the proximal phalanx to restore normal arthrokinematics.

Question 4

At the glenohumeral joint, which direction of glide is indicated to restore restricted external rotation?

Accepted Answer

Anterior glide of the humeral head

Answer

An anterior glide of the humeral head is used to restore restricted external rotation at the glenohumeral joint.

Question 5

Which of the following best describes a Grade IV+ (Grade IV plus) mobilization according to Maitland?

Accepted Answer

Small-amplitude thrust at the limit of range

Answer

Grade IV+ (or Grade V) refers to a small-amplitude, high-velocity thrust delivered at the limit of available range.
