Grade II is performed to maintain the available range of motion.
According to Kalterborn's sustained translatory joint-play technique, Grade II is the application of glide to tighten the tissues around the joint (taking up the slack).
Grade I is the application of small amplitude distraction where no stress is placed on the capsule. It is used to relieve the pain.
Grade III is the application of distraction/glide with amplitude large enough to place a stretch on the joint capsule and surrounding periarticular structures. It used to increase the joint play.
