What is Maitland technique?
Also known as the maitland technique, the maitland concept uses passive and accessory mobilisations of the spine to treat mechanical pain and stiffness. Grade 1 – Small movements of the spine performed within the spines resistance. Grade 2 – Larger movements of the spine but still performed within the spines resistance.
What is ROM exercise?
Range of motion exercise refers to activity aimed at improving movement of a specific joint. This motion is influenced by several structures: configuration of bone surfaces within the joint, joint capsule, ligaments, tendons, and muscles acting on the joint.
What is passive movements in physiotherapy?
RELAXED PASSIVE MOVEMENTS – DEFINITION • These are movements performed accurately, rhythmically and smoothly by the physiotherapist through available range of motion (according to anatomy of joints). • The movements are performed in the same range and direction as active movements.
What is Jointplay?
By nature, joint play is an involuntary movement that is inherent to the musculoskeletal system and cannot be introduced by voluntary muscles. It provides roll, glide, distraction, and spin combinations for joint motion and occurs in the shape of the joint surfaces (3).
How does Bobath therapy work?
We do not teach movements, we make them possible.” The basis of the Bobath concept lies in handling patients so that the physiotherapist helps to facilitate movement by lengthening short muscles, mobilising or moving tight joints, strengthening weak muscles and helping to keep their bodies in better alignment.
What are the 3 types of range of motion exercises?

What are contraindications of passive movement?
Contra-indications of relaxed passive movement 1-unhealed fracture, recent fracture, at the site of fracture. 2-At site of effusion or swelling. 3-Immediately following surgical procedure to tendon, ligaments, joint capsule. 4-Immediately after recent tear to ligament, tendon.
What is the difference between active and passive movements?
Active range of motion means you move a joint through its range of motion, or ROM. Passive range of motion involves someone else moving a joint for you. An example of passive ROM is if a doctor is testing a joint, such as the shoulder, and is moving it for you without your assistance.
