46
Q

Name the 3 main types of joints and give one example of each:

A

Fibrous (immovable) - include the sutures of some skull bones.
Cartilaginous (partially moveable) - intervertebral disc between adjacent vertebra of the spine.
Synovial (freely moveable) - The knee.

47
Q

Name the 6 types of synovial joints.

A 
hinge
pivot
saddle
condyloid
plane
ball-and-socket
48
Q

Hinge joint is?

A

uniaxial

  • permit flexion/extension
  • ex: eblow
49
Q

Pivot joint is?

A

uniaxial

  • permit rotation
  • ex: neck, lets us say NO!
50
Q

Saddle joint is?

A

biaxial

  • permit flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and circumduction.
  • ex: base of thumb
51
Q

Condyloid joint is?

A

biaxial

  • permit flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and circumduction.
  • ex: finger joints
52
Q

Plane joint is?

A

simple gliding movement

-ex: shoulder between the clavicle & scapula

53
Q

Ball-and-socket joint is?

A

multiaxial

  • permits flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and medial/lateral rotation and circumduction.
  • ex: hip
54
Q

What are the structures of the synovial joint?

A

synovial fluid
articular cartilage
joint capsule

55
Q

Function of synovial fluid?

A

provides nutrition, lubrication and shock absorption

56
Q

Function of articular cartilage?

A

provides smooth surface for movement

57
Q

What is the term used to describe the combination movement at the carpometacarpal joint (base of the thumb; not the knuckle joint of the thumb) when the pad of the first digit (aka: the thumb) is brought to another digit pad (fingers 2-4)? What is the opposite movement called?

A

opposition and reposition

58
Q

Name the movements that occur at the ankle (talocrural) joint.

A

Dorsiflexion. Plantarflexion

59
Q

Name the movements that occur at the intertarsal joint (subtalar + transverse tarsal joints).

A

Inversion. Eversion

60
Q

Name the movements that occur at the knee joint.

A

Flexion and extension.

61
Q

Circumduction at the shoulder joint involves what movements?

A

Flexion. Abduction. Extension. Adduction.

62
Q

Explain the difference between closed chain and open chain movement.

A

Closed chain - is where your stationary or fixed to something. Example a squat, the feet press to the floor and help raise the body.

Open chain - when the feet or hands are free. Example would be a leg curl machine, when the leg is free to swing down.

63
Q

Name the movements that occur at the intervertebral joints.

A

Flexion/extension, lateral side bending right and left, rotation right and left.

64
Q

A

radial flexion

65

A

Closed chain anterior pelvic tilt is similar to open chain hip flexion.

66
Q
