Joints Flashcards
Intervertebral symphysis
location - joint of vertebral column classification - symphysis movements - contributes to movements (flexion/extension, lateral flexion & rotation) of vertebral column
Facet (zygapophyseal)
location - joint of vertebral column classification - synovial plane (gliding) movements - contributes to movements (flexion/extension, lateral flexion & rotation) of vertebral column
Sacroiliac
location - pelvic girdle & hip joint classification - synovial plane (gliding) movements - slight contribution to pelvic movements
Pubic symphysis
location - pelvic girdle & hip joint classification - symphysis
Hip
location - pelvic girdle & hip joint classification - synovial ball & socket movements - flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, medial/lateral rotation & circumduction
Knee
location - knee joint classification - synovial bi-condylar (complex) hinge movements - flexion/extension & medial/lateral rotation
Superior tibiofibular
location - knee joint classification - synovial plane (gliding)
Talocrural
location - ankle & foot joint classification - synovial hinge (ginglymus) movements - dorsiflexion/plantar flexion
Talocalcaneal (subtalar)
location - ankle & foot joint classification - synovial modified multiaxial movements - heel inversion/eversion
Tarsometatarsal
location - ankle & foot joint classification - synovial plane
Metatarsophalangeal
location - ankle & foot joint classification - synovial ellipsoidal
Interphalangeal
location - ankle & foot joint classification - synovial hinge (ginglymus)
Sternoclavicular
location - pectoral girdle - shoulder joint classification - synovial sellar movements - contributes to scapular movements
Acromioclavicular
location - pectoral girdle - shoulder joint classification - synovial plane (gliding) movements - contributes to scapular movements
