Write down the translatoric joint play movements. Explain normal grades of translatoric movement?
Translatoric Joint Play Movements: The translatoric joint play movements used in the OMT Kaltenborn-Evjenth concept are Traction, Compression and gliding. Traction: Tra ction ( separation ) is a linear translatoric joint play movement at a right angle to and away from the treatment plan. Compression: Compression ( approximation ) is a linear translatoric movement at a right angle to and toward the treatment plane. Compression presses the joint surfaces together. It is usefu l to differentiate between articular and extra-articular lesions. Gliding: Translatoric gliding is a joint play movement parallel to the treatment plane. Translatoric gliding is possible over a short distance in all joints because curved joint surfaces are not perfectly congurent. Grade 1 traction is always performed simultaneously with a translatoric gliding movement. Normal Grades Of Translatoric Movement: Normal grades of translatoric movement gives Pain-relief mobilization, Relaxation mobilization and then
