Hand
CMC Joint
Carpometacarpal Joint, is made up of trapezium bone
MCP Joint
Metacarpophalangeal Joint
IP
Interphalangeal joint
accessory movement
a movement that accompanies the active movement and is essential to normal motion
opposition
a combination of flexion and abduction in which the tips of the first and fifth digits move toward one another, with the ‘built in’ accessory motion of rotation
reposition
using a combination of extension, adduction and rotation, is the return to anatomical position from opposition
MCP Joint
Metacarpophalangeal joint that is a hinge joint, allows flexion and extension and is a uniaxial joint. Concave base on proximal end
IP Joint
Interpalangeal Joint, allows only flexion and extension, uniaxial, Concave base on proximal end
PIP
Proximal Interphalangeal Joint of finger
DIP
Distal Interphalangeal Joint of Finger
CMC Joints, digits 2 - 5
Classified as nonaxial, plane -shaped synovial joints that provide slight gliding motion.
