Capsular ligament Flashcards
1
Q
What is the relationship between the capsular ligament and mobility
A
The more lax/loose the capsular ligament is, the greater the motion of the joint
2
Q
What regions of the vertebral column demonstrate the greatest laxity of capsular ligaments
A
the cervical and lumbar regions
3
Q
What layers are present in the capsular ligament
A
A superficial layer of collagen fibers and a deep layer of elastic fibers
4
Q
If the zygapophyeseal capsular ligament is not significantly involved in restricting motion what is its function
A
It is probably involved in proprioceptive feedback to the muscles stabilizing the vertebral couple during movement
