intro to knes Flashcards
frontal plane
Divides the body in to anterior and posterior sections.
Most common motions
Abduction
Adduction
sagittal plane
Divides the body into left and right sections
Most common movements:
Flexion
Extension
transverse plane
Divides the body into upper and lower sections.
Most common movements:
Internal Rotation
External Rotation
Linear Movements - Rectilinear
Linear Movements - Rectilinear Occurs in straight line from one location to another All parts move in the SAME direction at the SAME time.
Linear Motion – Curvilinear
Linear Motion – Curvilinear Occurs in curved line from one location to another All parts move in the SAME direction at the SAME time.
angular motion
Angular
All parts move at the same angle, in the same direction, at the same time.
They DO NOT travel the same distance
rotational motion
Rotational Motion
Movement occurring around a vertical or longitudinal axis
Osteokinematics
Describes movement of bones around a joint axis.
This refers to the names we use to describe joint motion.
Examples: flexion, extension etc.
Refer to slides 11-18
Arthrokinematics
Movement within a joint (intra articular motion).
types of joints
Fibrous joints
Cartilaginous joints
Synovial Joint
fibrous joints
Suture Joints (Synarthrosis) Only occurs in the skull
Ligamentous Joint
Ligaments hold the joint together
Small amounts of movement occur
Distal Radio Ulnar Joint (for example)
Gomphosis
Interlocking
Teeth
Cartilaginous joints
Cartilaginous joints absorb shock and allow some motion Provide stability Examples: Vertebrae have disks Sternoclavicular joint
Synovial Joint
No direct contact between bone ends
Has a “joint capsule”
Capsule filled with synovial fluid
Mobile
Classification of Synovial Joints
Number of axes
Kind of joint motion
Degrees of freedom
Number of planes in which a joint can move
Nonaxial joint
Nonaxial joint Has small amounts of linear motion No angular motion Gliding usually occurs Examples: Costovertebral Joints Intervertebral Joints Degrees of Freedom ???
