CCEP Joint Mobilization 3

Question 1

In Kaltenborn's joint mobilization system, which grade involves taking up the slack to the point of tissue resistance before applying force?

Accepted Answer

Grade II

Answer

Kaltenborn Grade II mobilization takes up the slack to the point of tissue resistance, neutralizing the joint's resting laxity.

Question 2

Which plane of motion is restored by applying a lateral distraction mobilization to the first carpometacarpal (CMC) joint?

Accepted Answer

Abduction and adduction

Answer

Lateral distraction at the first CMC joint primarily restores abduction and adduction mobility.

Question 3

When mobilizing the subtalar joint to improve calcaneal eversion, the calcaneus is glided in which direction relative to the talus?

Accepted Answer

Laterally

Answer

A lateral glide of the calcaneus relative to the talus is used to restore calcaneal eversion at the subtalar joint.

Question 4

Which accessory movement at the acromioclavicular joint is used to restore restricted horizontal adduction of the shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Posterior glide of the clavicle

Answer

A posterior glide of the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint helps restore restricted horizontal adduction.

Question 5

The 'open-packed' (resting) position of the knee joint is best described as:

Accepted Answer

25–30 degrees of flexion with slight external tibial rotation

Answer

The resting (open-packed) position of the knee is approximately 25–30 degrees of flexion with slight external tibial rotation, where the joint has maximum laxity.
