Introduction pt 2 Flashcards
what is osteokinematics
refers to the movements of bone rather than movement of articular surfaces
what happens to the skeleton when our bones move
definition of osteokinematics
bone motion
what is normal ROM of a joint called
anatomic or physiologic ROM
mechanical axis
is the axis through the bone which is PERPENDICULAR to the center of the articular surface, with the joint in mid-position
perpendicular to the center of the articular surface
every joint has its own mechanical axis
when is ROM considered pathologic
exceeds or fails to reach the normal limits of motion
hypomobile
hypermobile
hypomobile
doesn’t have enough ROM
hypermobile
has more ROM that normal
what will cause a shift in the mechanical axis
joint movement
what is insufficient to describe many movement combos
a description of one mechanical axis
description of motion
spin
swing
spin (osteo)
pure rotation around the mechanical axis
types of spin
pure spin
conjunct rotation
pure spin
the motion is all spin with NO OTHER MOTIONS
ex: head of the radius on the capitulum
conjunct rotation
spin which requires some spin
primarily spin with secondary swing
usually occurs at the end of ROM
ex: flexion of shoulder requires some internal rotation at the end ROM
swing
is all other bone motion, never around the mechanical axis
anything but spin
types of swing
pure swing
impure swing
pure swing
is all swing, no spin
not around the mechanical axis
ex: wrist flexion
impure swing
is swing with spin
mostly swing with a touch of spin
ex: knee extension, at the end of ROM, you have ER of the tibia for the screw home mechanism, this is a spin motion
