: A high-velocity, low-amplitude "thrust" (manipulation) often performed at the end of the range. Clinical Application Examples
: Small-amplitude, fast oscillations performed at the beginning of the joint’s range. These are primarily used for pain relief . : A high-velocity
: Techniques like the "Anterior-Posterior Talocrural Glide" are used to improve dorsiflexion, which is essential for walking or squatting. : A high-velocity
: Large-amplitude oscillations within the mid-range of movement. These are also used to manage pain and introduce motion without hitting joint resistance. : A high-velocity
: Large-amplitude oscillations that reach into the resistance of the joint. These are designed to increase mobility .
: Small-amplitude, fast oscillations performed deep into the joint's resistance to stretch stiff tissues.
