    Area of Science:

    • Physical Therapy
    • Manual Therapy
    • Musculoskeletal Interventions

    Background:

    • Manual therapy encompasses various hands-on techniques for therapeutic purposes.
    • Existing terminology can be broad, leading to potential confusion in clinical practice and research.
    • Precise definitions are crucial for effective communication and study replication in manual therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To differentiate and define key terms in manual therapy.
    • To distinguish between high-velocity thrust manipulation and gentle mobilization techniques.
    • To establish clear terminology for passive joint movements in therapeutic contexts.

    Main Methods:

    • The study provides a conceptual analysis of manual therapy terminology.
    • It defines manipulation as a high-velocity thrust applied at the joint's end range.

  • Mobilization is defined as a gentle, repetitive, rhythmic passive movement.

    • Main Results:

    • A clear distinction is established between manipulation and mobilization.
    • Manipulation is characterized by its speed and end-range application.
    • Mobilization is characterized by its gentle, repetitive, and rhythmic nature.

    Conclusions:

    • The precise definitions of manipulation and mobilization enhance clarity in manual therapy.
    • Understanding these distinctions is vital for practitioners and researchers.
    • Standardized terminology improves the consistency of therapeutic interventions and research findings.
