| Popis: | Mobilisation with movement (MWM) is a form of manual therapy treatment that has been gaining popularity among physiotherapists due to their reported instant improvements in pain-free range of motion and pain alleviation. Several theories have been proposed in an attempt to explain the mechanisms of action of these procedures. Irrespective of the alternate explanations for the mechanisms of action, clinical studies provide reasonable support for some of the MWM techniques. This paper attempts to review key aspects of the mechanisms of action proposed in the literature and further explore the possible effects of MWM on articular and periarticular mechanoreceptors. The clinical implication of this knowledge is also illustrated in order to alert clinicians about specific aspects of these procedures. |
