Q

Factors affecting contact and ROM of synovial joints

A
  1. structure and shape of articulating bones
  2. Strength and tension (tautness) of the joint ligaments
  3. Arrangement and tension of muscles
  4. Contact of soft parts
  5. Hormones
  6. Disuse
50
Q

How does strength and tension (tautness) of the joint ligaments affect ROM of synovial joints

A

when you extend your knee, the ligaments at the back get tight

51
Q

How does contact of soft parts affect ROM of synovial joints

A

forearm contacting the bicep stops it from flexing further

52
Q

How do hormones affect ROM of synovial joints

A

Example: relaxin, a hormone release by the placenta and ovaries, increases the flexibility of the fibrocartilage of the pubic symphysis and loosens the ligaments between the sacrum, hip bone and coccyx towards and of pregnancy

53
Q

How does disuse affect ROM of synovial joints

A
  • Disuse of a joint for an extended period may limit the ROM
  • disuse may also result in decreased amount of synovial fluid, diminished flexibility of tendons and ligaments and muscular atrophy
  • example: breaking your arm
54

replacing part of the femur, does not involve acetabulum

75
Q

Total hip arthroplasty

A

replace acetabulum (fossa) of hip bone - install artificial acetabulum

76
Q

Rheumatism

A

any painful disorder of the supporting structures of the body - bones, ligaments, tendons, or muscle - that is not caused by infection or injury

77
Q

Osteoarthritis

A

degenerative joint disease in which joint cartilage is gradually lost

78

Rheumatoid arthritis

A

an autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the body attacks its own tissues (cartilage and joint linings)

79
Q

A

Excessive amounts of uric acid that are not able to be excreted
- mostly affects the joints of the feet

80
Q

Lyme disease

A
  • ticks that rashes to develop and cause joint stiffness
81

Q

Strain

A

stretched or partially torn muscle or muscle and tendon

A

inflammation of the tendons, tendon sheaths, and synovial membranes surrounding certain joints
