The manual therapy techniques, used in this patient was based on the standardization of joint mobility and restoring of normal artrockinematic and osteoskinematic movement with specific techniques for each segment of the her knee. The use of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT) was based on the fact that osteoarthrosis is considered more dysfunction than illness, and is accompanied by mechanical change of the expected normal movement, and the primary cause of degenerative disease is the mechanical joint dysfunction.
So my role as therapist was to evaluate and treat the dysfunctions founded, believing that the recovery of a good dynamic posture, with the development of a good stress, exercising structures intermittently, stimulating the maintenance of cellular activity and appropriate adaptation to the physical demands of daily activities and quality of life, was theoretically the more efficient way to treat these joint dysfunction.
During the observation of the gait of this patient, we can see that the use of this therapy technique has changed the positional relationship of the knee joints of this patient. These relationships were possibly modified by the breakdown of adhesions, the production of mechanistic neurophysiological effects specific to each joint and segment structure, recovery of strength, flexibility and joint mobility, conditions that would impossible to be achieved only through the use of exercise, medication or surgeries.
