Joints and Kinesiology Flashcards
Range of Motion
The normal extent of mobility for a specific joint movement.
Degrees of Freedom
The number of axes at which movement in a joint occurs/
Stability Vs. Mobility
The more mobile a joint the more likely it is to get injuered/
3 Types of Joints
Fibrous (Sutures and Fontanels), Cartilaginous (Pubic Symphysis), Synovial (Unilateral, Bilateral, and Multiaxial)
Anatomy of a Synovial Joint Superficial to Deep
Ligaments, Joint Capsule, Synovial Membrane, Synovial fluid, Articular cartilage, and Bone
Uniaxial Joint Types
Hinge and Pivot
Biaxial Joints Types
Condyloid, Saddle, Gliding
Multiaxial Type
Ball-and Socket
