Q

arthrodial and examples

A

(gliding) nonaxial

interpacarpals and intertarsals

17
Q

increased flexibility or over flexibility can cause dislocation in joint

A

Hypertonic

18
Q

Joint stability

A

the propensity of an articulation to resist displacement.

19
Q

Joint stability is inversely related to joint…

A

ROM/Mobility/Flexibility

20
Q

Factors that contribute to joint stability/ROM:

A
  1. joint ligaments
  2. muscle tension; agonist antagonist relationship
  3. fascia or connective tissue
  4. atmospheric pressure
  5. shape of the articulating surfaces of the bones (geometry, or architecture of the articulation)
21
Q

Joint ROM/Mobility/Flexibility is inversely related to joint?

A

Joint stability

22
Q

A force may be described as a push or a pull. Are muscles capable of both pushing and pulling?

A

No! Muscles can only pull…that is, an individual muscle can only cause shortening.
*However, Muscles pull on bones, which create levers, can produce a musculoskeletal system that both pulls and pushes.

23
Q

A Force, therefore, is a…

A

push or a pull that speeds up, slows down, deforms and/or changes the direction of an object.

24
Q

What are the four Forces that are commonly found in biomechanics?

A
  1. compression
  2. tension
  3. shear
  4. torsion
25
Q

3 degrees of freedom means?

A

Joint is able to move in 3 different planes

26
Q

hypertonic

A

increased flexibility or over flexibility can cause dislocation in joint

27
Q

Describe the Movement Triad

A

Control (neurons,endocrine sys)

Motor (muscles Fuel (cardiovascular)
bones, tendons)

This all makes a triangle

28
Q

No movement

Example: Sutures of the skull

A

Synarthroses joints

29
Q

Little movement

Pubic symphasis and intervertebral disks

A

Amphiarthroses joints

30
Q

Free movement

  1. actual cavity
  2. encapsulated
  3. synovial fluid
  4. ends of bones covered with hyaline cartilage
A

Diarthroses joints

31
Q

foot inversion/eversion

A

along the Frontal Plane
