Effect of Hip Versus Spinal Joint Mobilization on Hip Muscle Strength

"Mobilization and manipulation are manual therapy techniques comprising a continuum of skilled passive movements to the joints and/or related soft tissues that are applied at varying speeds and amplitudes, including a small-amplitude/high- velocity therapeutic movement.16 The term joint mobilization, or nonthrust mobilization, often refers to slow, rhythmic, repetitive passive movements to the patients' tolerance, in voluntary and/or accessory range and graded according to examination findings."
