Chapter 14b Flashcards
The type of movement of a synovial joint is dependent on
Shapes of the surface of articulating bones
Position of the ligament, tendons and muscles around joints
All synovial joints allow for one or of these movements
Angular
Circular
Gliding
Special
Angular joint allows for
Flexion, extension, abduction and adduction
Circular joints allow for
Rotation, circumduction, supination, pronation
Gliding movement in joints allow
Gliding with no angular or circular movement
Special movement in joints allow for
Inversion and eversion
ROM stands for what and is assessed for _________ using _______
Range of motion and is assessed to determine the extent injury using a goniometer
Gonio means
Corner
What is flexion?
Ex?
Movement that decreases the angle between two bones at their joint
Ex. Bending
What is extension
Ex
Movement that increases the angle between two bones at their joint
Ex. Straightening
What is dorsiflexion
Elevation of the dorsum or top of foot
Plantar flexion is
Bottom of the foot is directed downward
Abduction is
Movement of a part away from the midline of the body
Adduction is
Movement of a part toward the midline of the body
Rotation is
And ex.
Movement around a longitudinal axis
Shaking head no
Circumduction is
Movement of a limb or extremitity so that the distal end traces a circle, while the proximal end remains still (fixed)
Supination
Palm turned to the anterior position
Pronation
Palm face posteriorly
Gliding movements are _______ movemets
_________ surface of one bone move over ________ of other bone
Occurs between _____ and ______ and between _______
Simplest movement
Auricular surface and articular surface
carpal and tarsals and between verebrae
Inversion
Bottom of foot faces toward midline of the body
Eversion
Bottom of foot faces toward the side of the body
Protraction
Moves body part forward
Refraction
Moves body part back
Elevation
Moves body part up
Depression
Lowers a body part
