Maitland technique of joint mobilization is graded oscillation technique.
Grade-1 small amplitude rhythmic oscillations are performed at beginning of the range of motion
Grade-2 large amplitude rhythmic oscillations are performed within the range, not reaching the limit
Grade-3 large amplitude rhythmic oscillations are performed up to the limit and stressed into tissue resistance
Grade-4 small amplitude rhythmic oscillations are performed at the limit of available range of motion and stressed into tissue resistance
Grade-5 a small amplitude high velocity thrust technique to snap adhesions at limit of available motions
Grade-1 and 2 are primarily used for treating joints limited by pain, as these no stretch motions help move synovial fluid to improve nutrition to the cartilage
Grade 3 and 4 are primarily used to improve range of motions.
