This document provides an overview of the knee joint complex and various physiotherapeutic techniques for the knee. It describes the basic anatomy of the knee joint and its articulating surfaces. It then explains several knee mobilization techniques including tibiofemoral distraction, posterior and anterior glides, and patellofemoral glides. References are provided for further reading on orthopedic manual therapy and manipulation techniques.

E-9885 Knee Joint DISCOVER . LEARN . EMPOWE COURSE OUTCOME Knee Joint Complex • The knee joint consists of two articulating surfaces between the femoral condyles and tibial plateaus with a fibro-cartilaginous disc between each articulation, as well as the articulation of the patella with the femoral groove Tibiofemoral Articulations • Resting position- The resting position is 25˚ flexion. • Treatment plane- The treatment plane is along the surface of the tibial plateaus; therefore, it moves with the tibia as the knee angle changes. • Stabilization- In most cases, the femur is stabilized with a belt or by the table Tibiofemoral Distraction: Long- Axis Traction • Indications- Testing; initial treatment; pain control; general mobility. • Patient Position - Sitting, supine, or prone, beginning with the knee in the resting position. Tibiofemoral Posterior Glide Tibiofemoral Posterior Glide: Alternate Positions and Progression Tibiofemoral Anterior Glide Patellofemoral Joint, Distal Glide Patellofemoral Medial or Lateral Glide References • Orthopedic Manual Therapy;Chad Cook • Colby, Lynn Allen_ Kisner, Carolyn- Therapeutic exercise.
