KINESIOLOGY Flashcards
Concave moving on convex
roll and glide in the same direction
Convex moving on concave
roll and glide in the opposite direction
Conjunct rotation
The small amount of rotation that accompanies other movements, like ab/adduction and flexion/extension
Joint mobilizations for frozen shoulder
Anterior (for ER), Inferior (for abduction), Posterior (for IR)
First Class Levers
EFL (effort-fulcrum-load)
Like scissors or the atlanto-occiptial joint
Second Class Levers
ELF (effort-load-fulcrum)
Like wheelbarrows or the cool walk
Mechanical advantage.
Powerful, but sacrifices ROM and speed
Third Class Levers
FEL (fulcrum-effort-load)
Most common.
Like forceps. Or elbow flexion.
Mechanical disadvantage.
Not powerful, but big ROM and fast.
What does a capsular pattern of restriction indicate?
Loss of mobility of entire joint capsule from fibrosis, effusion, or inflammation.
Arthritis, degenerative joint disease, prolonged immobilization, acute trauma, capsular contraction.
Cervical CPoR
C0-C1: flexion>extension
C1-C2: rotation
C3-T2: (lateral flexion=rotation)>extension
Sternoclavicular CPoR
elevation, pain at end range
