Joint Mobilization is a new and highly interactive CD-ROM designed to teach the core principles of joint mobilisation in an environment that is user-friendly. The use of audio, text, photos, animation, and video make this a state-of-the-art learning tool for the novice and a reference tool for the practising clinician. There are three major components to the CD-ROM: Principles, Body Regions, and Quiz. The first part of the module addresses the core principles for applying mobilisation techniques to any joint. Areas covered in this section include joint kinematics, joint end-feels, concave/convex principle, and grades of mobilisation and stages of traction. Users will have many opportunities to apply the knowledge they are learning through practice exercises that are at the end of each section. The Body Regions section uses video to demonstrate joint mobilisation techniques for 55 joints, highlighting positioning, clinician hand placement, and the direction of force. The Quiz is a bank of questions that are randomised so the user will not get the questions in the same order each time, allowing for a complete and comprehensive review.
