This is a bold venture, so I will open up with a controversy that has raged in Australia for the last 12 years. One school of thought supports and teaches passive movements to maintain collagen/elastin/cartialge nutrition generally = despite no EBP. The other school of thought is against passive meovements a) they have no useful function and may damage tissue 2) no evidence of any benefit 3) PTs do them because it cheers up nurses, doctors and family because the physio is doing something, anyway. I do not ever perform passive movements except as mobilisations at joints. Who agrees???
