: Large-amplitude oscillations within the mid-range of movement. These are also used to manage pain and introduce motion without hitting joint resistance.
: Using a mobilization band to apply traction while rocking back and forth can help "loosen" a stiff hip joint. Maitland's Mobilisations - Physiopedia
: A therapist may use "glides" (sliding the patella or tibia) to help a patient regain the ability to bend or straighten their leg.
: A high-velocity, low-amplitude "thrust" (manipulation) often performed at the end of the range. Clinical Application Examples
: Small-amplitude, fast oscillations performed deep into the joint's resistance to stretch stiff tissues.
