Selected Exercise
__________________________________________
PIP Joint Mobility Setup: Identify the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint (PIP). This is the first joint after the knuckle. Bend your knuckle (MCP joint) to ~45 degrees. Grasp with your other hand just beyond the joint line of the PIP (as shown) Distraction: pull straight out from the joint with moderate pressure. Hold this pressure until you feel a "creep" (the joint space should slowly increase). If you don't feel the creep, hold for 30-45 seconds to help improve joint space. Relax, and repeat as appropriate. Do NOT pull if it produces pain. Mobilization: repeat the setup and begin with a light distraction. Next, use your thumb and push down into the joint to help improve finger flexion. Or, use your index finger to push up to help with extension. You should not see the joint move/bend. If this is the case, try and re-stabilize the finger. Perform small movements 10+ times. Do not perform if painful.
