Arthrokinematic review Flashcards
describe the arthrokinematics at the atlanto-occipital joint?
convex (occipital condyle) on concave (superior facets of atlas)
opposite roll and glide/slide
describe the arthrokinematics at the atlanto-axial joint
inferior facet of atlas/superior facet of axis
gliding → ipsilateral posterior glide with contralateral anterior glide
describe the arthrokinematics that occur during flexion/extension of C3-C7
flexion = inferior facet (of superior vertebrae) glides anterior and superior to superior facet (of inferior vertebrae)
extension = inferior facet (of superior vertebrae) slides posterior and inferior to superior facet (of inferior vertebrae)
describe the arthorkinematics that occur during rotation in C3-C7
same side as rotation = inferior facet glides posterior and slightly inferior
opposite side as rotation = inferior facet glides anterior and slightly superior
descibe the arthrokinematics that occur during lateral flexion of C3-C7
same side - inferior facet glides inferior and slightly posterior
opposite side - inferior facet glides superior and slightly anterior

R (ipsilateral) C4 facet glides posterior and slightly inferior on C5 facet
L (contralateral) C4 facet glides anterior and slighly superior on C5 facet

what is nutation?
sacral promontory → moves anteriorly and inferiorly
sacral apex → moves posteriorly and superiorly
what is counternutation?
sacral promontory → moves posteriorly and superiorly
sacral apex → moves anteriorly
describe the arthrokinematics of the SC joint during elevation/depression
convex on concave
