Arthrokinematics 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
describe the arthrokinematics of R rotation of C4-5
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 are the arthokinematic motions that occur at the intervertebral joints with each osteokinematic motion?
- approximation/distraction and gliding
- tipping
what are the arthokinematic motions that occur at each facet joint with each osteokinematic movement?
approximation/gapping and gliding
T/F: no rotation (or rolling) occurs with protrusion and retraction of the TMJ?
TRUE
what occurs on the ipsilateral side during TMJ lateral excursion?
primarily side-to-side translation of condyle and disc within the fossa
ipsilateral condyle glides posteriorly (retrusion)
what occurs on the contralateral side during TMJ lateral excursion
primarily side-to-side translation of condyle and disc within fossa
anterior glide on the contralateral condyle
describe the arthrokinematics for flexion in the thoracic spine at the intervertebral and facet joints
- facet joint
- anterior and superior glide bilaterally
- intervertebral
- anterior tilting of superior vertebrae
describe the arthrokinematics for extension in thoracic spine at the intervertebral and facet joints
- facets
- posterior and inferior glide
- intervertebral
- posterior tilting of superior vertebrae
describe the arthrokinematics for L sidebending in the thoracic spine at the facet and intervertebral body joints
- facets
- contralateral facet → superior glide
- ipsilateral facet → inferior glide
- intervertebral body
- lateral tilt to the L
describe the arthrokinematics for R rotation in the upper thoracic spine at the facet and intervertebral body joints
- facet
- contralateral side → anterior slide with superio glide
- ipsilateral side → posterior slide with inferior glide
- interbody
- R rotation
describe the arthrokinematics for L rotation in the lower thoracic spine at the facet and interbody joints
- facets
- contralateral → anterior glide with inferior glide
- ipsilateral → posterior glide with superior glide
- interbody
- rotate to the L
In the upper Thoracic spine how is rotation and side bending coupled?
same direction
R rotation = R side bending
describe the arthrokinematics for flexion in the lumbar spine at the facet and interbody joints
- facets
- anterior and superior gliding (gapping)
- interbody
- anterior tilting
describe the arthrokinematics during extension of the lumbar spine at the facet and interbody joints
- facets
- posterior and inferior glide (approximating)
- interbody
- posterior tilt
