The Maitland Concept[edit | edit source]
Key Terms[edit | edit source]
- Accessory Movement - Accessory or joint play movements are joint movements which cannot be performed by the individual. These movements include roll, spin and slide which accompany physiological movements of a joint. The accessory movements are examined passively to assess range and symptom response in the open pack position of a joint. Understanding this idea of accessory movements and their dysfunction is essential to applying the Maitland concept clinically[1].
- Injuring Movement - Making the pain/symptoms 'come on' by moving the joint in a particular direction during the clinical assessment[2]
