Arthrokinematics Flashcards
Linear movement of a joint surface parallel to the plane of an adjoining joint surface
Glide
Rotation of a movable joint surface on fixed adjacent surfaces
Spin
Two bones forming convex – concave relationship
Ovoid
Each joining service is concave in one direction and convex and another
Stellar
Convex moving on concave=
Opposite glide
Concave moving on convex =
Same glide
Position of max congruency
Closed pack position
Position of max incongruency
Open pack position
External force causes joint surfaces to pull apart
Traction
External force pushing joint surfaces closer together (compression)
Approximation
Forces parallel to the surface
Shear
Passive movement of synovial joint for therapeutic effect. Grade 1–5
Joint mobilization
The rolling of one joint surface on another
Roll
