Arthrokinematics

Question 1

Lumbar arthrokinematics of the interbody joints and facet joints for flex/ext:

Answer 1

Flex - facet glide superior and anterior

Ext - facet will glide inferior and posterior

Question 2

Lumbar arthrokinematics of the interbody joints and facet joints for side bending

Answer 2

• Superior glide in facet contralateral to side bend

- Inferior glide in facet ipsilateral to side-bend

Question 3

Lumbar arthrokinematics of the interbody joints and facet joints for rotation:

Answer 3

• Facet contralateral to rotation with approximate

- Facet ipsilateral to rotation will distract

Question 4

Elevation/Depression at SC joint:

Answer 4

-Disc remains stationary
-Convex on concave movement
Elevation - Superior roll and inferior glide
Depression - Inferior roll and superior glide

Question 5

Protraction/Retraction at SC joint:

Answer 5

-Disc moves with clavicle
-Concave on convex movement
Protraction - Anterior roll and glide
Retraction - posterior roll and glide

Question 6

anter/posterior rotation at SC joint:

Answer 6

Posterior rotation - inferior surface moves anteriorly

Anterior rotation - Inferior surface returns to inferior position (minimal motion from neutral)

Question 7

Elevation/depression at scapulothoracic joint combines:

Answer 7

Elevation - combination of SC joint elevation and AC joint downward rotation (shoulder shrug)

Question 8

Upward/downward rotation at scapulothoracic joint combines:

Answer 8

Upward - summation of SC joint elevation and AC joint upward rotation

Question 9

Flexion/Ext of GH joint arthro:

Answer 9

Flexion = anterior roll, posterior glide
Ext = posterior roll, anterior glide

Question 10

Add/Abd of GH joint arthro:

Answer 10

ADD = inferior roll, superior glide
ABD = superior roll, inferior glide

Question 11

ER/IR of GH joint arthro:

Answer 11

ER = posterior roll, anterior glide
IR = anterior roll, posterior glide

Question 12

arthrokinematics of the humeroulnar

Answer 12

Flex: roll anterior, glide anterior
Ext: posterior roll, posterior glide

Question 13

arthrokinematics humeroradial joints.

Answer 13

Flex: roll anterior, glide anterior
Ext: roll posterior, glide posterior

Question 14

arthrokinematics of the proximal radioulnar joints.

Answer 14

-Rotation of convex head of radius on concave ulnar radial notch within annular lig
Supination - posterior spin with anterior glide
Pronation - anterior spin with posterior glide

Question 15

arthrokinematics distal radioulnar joints.

Answer 15

-Concave ulnar notch of radius on convex head ulna
Supination - spin and glide posteriorly
Pronation - spin and glide anteriorly

Question 16

arthrokinematics of the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints.

Answer 16

-Convex on concave
Flex - anterior roll/posterior glide
Ext - posterior roll/anterior glide
Radial deviation - lateral roll, medial glide
ulnar deviation - medial roll, lateral glide

Question 17

arthrokinematics of the hip joint.

Answer 17

Flex - Ant roll/post glide
Ext - Post roll/ant glide
Abd - Superior roll/inferior glide
Add - Inferior roll/superior glide
IR - Anterior roll/posterior glide
ER - Posterior roll/anterior glide

Question 18

arthrokinematics of the tibiofemoral joint.

Flex OKC and CKC=

Answer 18

OKC = posterior roll/glide
CKC = Posterior roll/ant glide

Question 19

arthrokinematics of the tibiofemoral joint.

Ext OKC and CKC=

Answer 19

OKC = Anterior roll/glide
CKC = Anterior roll/post glide

Question 20

arthrokinematics of the talocrural joint.

Answer 20

OKC, convex moving on concave
Dorsiflexion - anterior roll, posterior glide
Plantarflexion - posterior roll, anterior glide
