Rehabilitation for total joint replacement.

[hijump]

hi,
what is the role of JOINT MOBILIZATION techniques in total joint replacement rehab?
i have read that grade 3 mobilization can be given to a replaced joint too. i am not sure whats the purpose of grade 3 mobilization as the joint prosthesis is made for limited amount of range of motion and we cant now apply an end rage stretch to a replaced joint.
i am confused !!

Hi hijump, in my experience joint mobs are not indicated with any shoulder joint replacements. Therefore unlikely to be indicated for other joint replacements too. Don't do them

thank you so much and in the text book of Therapeutic exercises its written but without any logic.
