_.Errata Following are errata and additions to Manual Mobilization ofthe Joints, Vol II - The Spine. Changes and additions are underlined. Chapter 8, Techniques, page 121 : \"Test and mobilization\" indicates that the technique can be used for testing joint play (Grade II-III), for traction pain-relief mobilization in the resting position (Grade I and IISZ), for relaxation (Grade I through IITZ), and also for stretch-traction mobilizations (Grade III). Both test and mobilization procedures usually use the same grip. Chapter 8, Techniques, page 121: \"Test and stretch mobilization\" indicates that the technique is recommended both for testing joint play (Grade II-III) and for stretch-mobilizations (Grade III) with manual fixa- tion. Both test and mobilization procedures usually use the same grip . Chapter 9, Pelvis, B(me and joint movement, page 132: The sacroiliac joint is an amphiarthrosis with very little movement (perhaps only 1° or 2°) and its joint surfaces are characterized by elevations and depressions that make it difficult to determine which joint partner is convex and which is concave. Therefore, for practi- cal purposes we use a conceptual model of a circle passing through the sacroiliac joints (Figure P-3). We consider the sacrum the convex joint partner between the two concave innominates which moves around multiple axes, as follows: Chapter 9, Pelvis, page 132/133: Movement around the sagittal axis occurs mainly at the lower pole of the sacrum and is called lateral 8exion to the right and left. During lateral flexion to the right, the right side of the sacrum (point 3 in Figure P-4) moves caudally, and the left side (point 2 in Figure P-4) moves cranially. (The coccyx moves to the left.) Chapter 9, Pelvis, Figure 10, page 144: Objective: Stretch mobilization: For restricted ventral movement of the sacrum or repositioning of a right-rotated sacral positional fault. Chapter 9, Pelvis, Figure 11 , page 145: Procedure: Test: Press caudally with your left arm. Apply a Grade I, II or III mov :ment. Compare findings with those obtained using the test described in Figure 12. Chapter 10, Lumbar Spine, Fig. 2, page 159: The picture in the book should show extension:
