Purpose[edit | edit source]
The Kaltenborn method, also referred to as Othopaedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMT), is a Nordic System of Manual Therapy derived by Freddy Kaltenborn and Olaf Evjenth over several years. This Nordic system seeks to repair usual joint mechanics[1].
All joints have positions that provide a degree of freedom or create a low level of laxity of the capsule and ligaments that allows little, accurate movements of joint play. This is the result of internal and external movement forces on the body. These joint play movements are referred to as accessory movements and are not under conscious control, but they are essential to permissive, painless functioning of active movement[2]. These joint play movements can be highlighted during passive movements and include;
- Distraction
- Sliding
- Compression
- Rolling
- Spinning of joint surfaces.
The term arthrokinematics describes these motions of the bone surfaces inside the joint. OMT Kaltenborn-Evjenth Concept use translatoric (linear) joint play movements in association to the treatment plane in both assessment and treatment. Translatoric traction, compression and gliding joint play movements are applied to assess joint function and translatoric gliding and traction mobilisations are used to restore joint play[2].
The Kaltenborn Treatment Plane passes through the joint and exists at a right angle to a line positioned from the axis of rotation in the convex bony partner, to the deepest position of the articulating concave surface. Therefore, the treatment plane remains with the concave joint surface despite the moving joint partner being concave or convex.
Technique[edit | edit source]
To know which the correct direction in which the gliding for evaluation and tratment is, Kaltenborn established the Concave-Convex Rule, it allows easilly deducing in which direction the limitation is and, therefore, in which direction the treatment has to be performed
