Principles of Joint Mobilization Techniques and Hand Positioning

What direction should mobilizations be performed in relation to the treatment plane?

Mobilizations will be parallel or perpendicular to the treatment plane.

How should glides be performed in relation to the joint plane?

Glides will be parallel to the joint plane.

What is the relationship between roll and glide for convex on concave surfaces?

Opposite roll and glide.

What is the relationship between roll and glide for concave on convex surfaces?

Same direction for roll and glide.

What should be treated during mobilization?

Always treat the glide, not the roll.

What glide improves shoulder external rotation?

Anterior glide of the shoulder.

What is the role of the stabilizing hand during mobilization?

The stabilizing hand stays tight and close to the joint without blocking motion.

What is the role of the mobilization hand?

The mobilization hand is the only one doing the moving.
