chapter 4 ( Arthrokinematics) Flashcards
normal end feel
soft, firm, and hard
abnormal end feel
boggy, muscle spasm, empty
Osteokinenamatic motion
movement of bones
Arthrokinematics motion
movements of joint surface (roll, spins
AROM
muscles contract to move joints
PROM
when therarpist or machine moves joint
joint play
arthro movement happens b/t join surfaces during external force
traction forces(distraction)
pull joints apart, pull ups
approximation
pushing joints together, push ups
shearing force
cause a gliding motion
Ovoid
bones forming convex/concave, same direction
Sellar
convex/concave in opposite direction
Roll
rolling of one joint surface on another
Glide
linear movement of one joint surface to other
Spin
rotation of movable joint, same point remain in contact
