Treatment Techniques
• Grades of Mobilization:
• Grade I: Small amplitude movement at the beginning
of the range.
• Grade II: Large amplitude movement within the range,
not reaching the limit.
• Grade III: Large amplitude movement up to the limit of
the range.
• Grade IV: Small amplitude movement at the limit of the
range.
• Grade V: High-velocity, low-amplitude thrust at the
limit of the range (manipulation).
• Application:
• The choice of grade and technique depends on the
patient’s condition, pain level, and response to previous
treatments. Lower grades (I and II) are typically used for
pain relief, while higher grades (III and IV) are used to
increase joint mobility.
• Indications:
• Maitland techniques are used to treat a variety of
conditions, including but not limited to:
• Back and neck pain
• Joint stiffness
• Muscle tightness
• Sports injuries
• Post-surgical rehabilitation
• Benefits:
• Pain reduction
• Improved joint mobility
• Enhanced functional performance
• Increased patient satisfaction due to the personalized
approach
