joint mechanics Flashcards
frontal plane axis
anteroposterior
sagittal plane axis
medial-lateral
horizontal/transverse plane axis
longitudinal
kinematics
description of motion without regard to the forces producing the motion
kinetics
study of forces producing motion and or maintaining equilibrium
osteokinematics
study of the movement of a bone without regard for the motion occurring at the joint surface or the forces producing the movement
how do you measure osteokinematics
goniometers and inclinometers
uniaxial
1 degree of freedom
ex. hinge joints: the humeroulnar joint or proximal radioulnar joint that pivots
biaxial
2 degrees of freedom
CONCAVE AND CONVEX
saddle and sellar
sellar joints
joint surface is concave in one direction and convex in the other direction
triaxial
3 degrees of freedom
planar and ball and socket joints
circumduction
combines all degrees of freedom
minimal of 2 degrees of freedom
synarthrodial
bony components connected by connective tissue
designed for stability and minimal movement
suture
united by collagenous sutural ligament/membrane
gomphosis
peg in a hole (ex. mandible)
syndesmosis
interosseous ligament, fibrous cord or aponeurotic membrane
cartilaginous
bone-cartilage bone interface
symphysis
directly joined by fibrocartilage
synchondrosis
hyaline cartilage forms a body between the two bones
ex. rib connection to sternum
diarthrodial (synovial)
bones are indirectly connected by means of a joint capsule
ruffini receptor
stretch receptor
pacini receptor
compression, changes in hydrostatic PRESSURE and joint MOVEMENT
golgi receptor
pressure receptor and extremes of motion
unmyelinated free nerve endings are sensitive to
noxious/non-noxious mechanical or biomechanical stress
unmyelinated free nerve endings location
around blood vessels in synovial layer of capsule and fat pads
ligaments, tendons and periosteum
golgi location
intima of synovium, ligaments and tendons
