doc tin activity Flashcards
a movement of a limb away from the midline or a median plane of the body, along the frontal plane
abduction
a rounded cavity on the right and left lateral sides of the pelvic bone
acetabulum
the movement of a limb towards the body midline
adduction
a technique used to detect fluid, or to examine or detect floating body structure
ballottement
small, synovial-fluid-filled sacs that protects ligaments from friction
bursae
heel bone
calcaneous
bones joined by cartilage
cartilagenous joint
the movement in which the limb describes a cone in shape: while the distal end of the limb moves in a circle, the joint itself moves only slightly in the joint cavity
circumduction
the simplest type of joint movements. one flat bone surface glides or slips over another similar surface. the bones are merely displaced in relation to one another
gliding
the great toe is abnormally adducted at the metatarsophalangeal joint
hallux valgus
a bending of joint beyond 180 degrees
hyperextension
a movement in which the sole of the foot is turned medially
inversion
( Articulation ) is the point where two or more bones in the body meet
joint
an exaggerated thoracic dorsal curve that causes asymmetry between the sides of the posterior thorax
kyphosis
an exaggerated lumbar curve that compensates for pregnancy, obesity or other skeletal changes.
lordosis
the movement in which the elevated part is moved downward to its original position
depression
a displacement of the bone from its usual anatomical location in the joint
dislocation
flexion of the ankle so that the superior aspect of the foot approaches the shin
dorsiflexion
or lifting or moving superiorly along a frontal plane
elevation
a movement in which the sole of the foot is turned laterally
eversion
a movement that increases the angle between the articulating bones.
extension
bones joined by fibrous tissue
fibrous joint
a bending movement that decreases the angle of the joint and brings the articulating bones closer together
flexion
a partial or complete break in the continuity of the bone from trauma
fracture
a partial dislocation of the head of the radius which occurs commonly when adults dangle children from their hands or remove clothing forcibly.
subluxation
movement of the forearms so that the palm faces anteriorly or superiorly
supination
bones separated by a fluid-filled joint cavity.
synovial joint
tough fibrous joint bands that attach muscle to bone, or muscle to muscle
tendon
gout related hard nodules that may appear over the joint.
tophi
the movement of the touching the thumb to the tips of the other fingers of the same hand
opposition
( extention of the ankle ) pointing the toes
plantar flexion
movement of the forearm so that the palm faces posteriorly or inferiorly
pronation
a nonangular anterior movement in a transverse plane
protraction
a nonangular posterior movement in a transverse plane
retraction
the turning movement of a bone around its own long axis
rotation
the spine curves to the right or left, causing an exaggerated thoracic convexity on the side
scoliosis
a stretching or tearing of the capsule or ligaments of a joint due to forced movement beyond the joint’s normal range
sprain
a partial muscle tear resulting from overstretching or overuse of the muscle
strain
