Chapter 12 Flashcards
Wrist Joint
radiocarpal joint
consists of the distal end of the radius and the radioulnar disk proximally and the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum distally
radiocarpal joint
classified as a biaxial condyloid joint allowing flexion and extension, radial deviation and ulnar deviation. The combination of all four of these motions is called circumduction. There is no rotation in the wrist.
midcarpal joint
located between two rows of carpal bones
intercarpal joints
located between carpal bones in each individual row
carpometacarpal (CMC) joints
appear between the distal row of carpal bones and the proximal end of metacarpal bones
palmar flexion
wrist flexion
dorisflexion
hyperextension
neutral position
hand in straight line with forearm, position of the hand in anatomical position
extension
return from flexion
hyperextension
movement beyond neutral position
flexion and extension
occur on sagittal plane around the frontal axis
flexion
approximately 90 degrees
hyyperextension
approximately 70 degrees
Raadial and Ulnar deviation
occur on the frontal plane around the sagittal axis
radial deviation
approximately 35 degrees
ulnar deviation
approximately 25 degrees
firm end feel
for extension, hyperextension, and ulnar deviation
boney/ hard end feel
for radial deviation, due to boney/ hard contact between the radial styloid process and the scaphoid (carpal) bone
open packed position of wrist
in neutral with slight ulnar deviation position
convex/ concave articulation
convex shaped proximal row of caarpal bones move in opposite direction of the hand motionbones
carpal bones
consist of two rows of four bones each, starrting at tumb side of proximal row are the scaphoid, lunate, triquerum, and psisform. distal row from lateral are trapezium, trapeziod, capitate, hamate
