Which grade mobilization increases tissue mobility with a large movement?

• A. Grade I
• B. Grade II
• C. Grade III
• D. Grade IV

Answer: (C)

When you want to increase tissue mobility with a large movement, you choose a mobilization that uses a large amplitude through most of the joint’s available range and reaches the end range. This movement stretches the joint capsule and periarticular tissues, helping to lengthen them and improve joint play. It’s more aggressive than the mid-range, large-amplitude approach and is specifically aimed at restoring mobility by elongating restricted tissues. The other approaches use small amplitudes or stay within mid-range or end-range in ways that target pain relief or precise end-range control rather than broad tissue elongation.
