  • relate the significance of pain to the patient's dysfunction, behavior, and treatment approach
  • discuss and contrast the effects of mobility and immobility
  • discuss the effects of manipulation in terms of psychological, mechanical and neurophysiological effects
  • discuss the indications and contraindications for joint manipulation of the extremity
