(includes all Attack skills): Skills that mainly depend on manual dexterity, rather than moving the whole body. INT and DEX are primary, STR is secondary. +1 from INT, +2 from DEX, and +3 from STR give Joe a Manipulation and Attack bonus.
the action of touching with the hands or the skillful use of the hands
Small amplitude, high velocity thrust technique at the end of range, with sufficient speed that the patient is unable to prevent the movement.
An undefined securities violation sometimes enforced by the SEC. Manipulation is the act of influencing prices in a market by artful skillful (and sometimes insidious) means.
A treatment by which health professionals use their hands to help restore normal movement to stiff joints.
The terms manipulation and adjustment are often used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same (see Adjustment). A manipulation moves bones and increases movement in joints, but generally, there is less analysis to determine which bones to manipulate. As a result, there is less preciseness in delivering the force and which bones move. With a manipulation, usually multiple bones move with the delivered force (typically, with the thrust of the hand). This may loosen several joints that are restricted, but it is less likely to improve alignment and may over-stretch some joints which were already moving normally. In contrast, a chiropractic adjustment is much more precise.
This is a form of manual therapy where an application of forces to structures such as muscles, joints and bones is presented, where the goal is the restoration of normal joint motion and the elimination of pain secondary to disturbed biomechanics.
Manual treatment for symptomatic relief and functional improvement in the musculoskeletal system which can consist of multiple direct and indirect techniques with varying degrees of force applied. The type of manipulation on the area or the body manipulation depends on the scope of training of the provider.
A non-specific manual procedure that involves a directed thrust to move a joint past its physiological range of motion.
A non-specific manual produre that involes a directed thrust to move a joint past its physiological range of motion.
The forceful passive thrust of a joint into the end of it's physiological range of movement. Usually undertaken by a skilled manual therapist, such as a chartered physiotherapist or an osteopath.
The general application of a force to a joint that takes it beyond its normal or restricted range of motion. This term applies generally to joint manipulations by manual therapy practitioners.
The forceful passive movement of a joint beyond its active limit of motion. It does not imply the use of precision, specificity or the correction of nerve interference. Therefore, it is not synonymous with chiropractic adjustment.
manually holding and stretching the foot into an improved position.
Trained professionals such as chiropractors or osteopaths use their hands to help restore normal movement to stiff joints.
Application of manual force for healing. Term describes the techniques used in osteopathy, chiropractic, massage, and other bodywork therapies. Manipulation may involve various forms of massage, muscle pressure, and joint realignment or adjustment.
is a technique whereby a patient's joint is moved beyond its normal range of motion, causing a cracking sound. This procedure will often increase a stiff joint's range of motion, which will in turn reduce pain. Manipulation is a "passive" technique. This means that the patient is passive and the person who is performing it controls the motion. (See mobilization.)
therapeutic application of manual pressure or force
A passive therapeutic movement, usually of small amplitude and high velocity at the end of the available range of motion. Manual Therapy ~ A broad group of skilled hand movements used by the physical therapist to mobilize soft tissues and joints for the purpose of modulating pain, increasing range of motion, reducing or eliminating soft tissue inflammation, inducing relaxation, improving contractile and non-contractile tissue extensibility. Mechanical Modality ~ A broad group of agents that use distraction, approximation or compression to produce a therapeutic effect. Mobilization ~ A passive therapeutic movement at the end of the available range of motion at variable amplitudes and speed Modality ~ A broad group of agents that may include thermal, acoustic, radiant, chemical or electric energy to produce physiological changes in tissues for therapeutic purposes.
A form of chiropractic treatment which involves the application of gentle yet firm pressure to muscles, joints and bones. The goal of manipulation is to restore normal joint motion and to eliminate pain.
usually a hands on treatment to alleviate muscle or joint restriction and/or spasms.
(n) Control or handle something with skill
A surgical procedure involving a passive motion (usually accessory or physiological) in which a thrust is applied under anesthesia.
