Lecture 2 Flashcards
Sagittal
flexion/extension
Frontal
abduction/adduction
Transverse
rotation
Kinematics
“displacement” or the motion of a segment without regard to forces
Degree of Freedom
the number of planes a joint can move across
Linear (Translational)
moving in one direction
- same distance, same direction, same time
Angular (Rotary)
motion around a central point (Axis)
Anatomical degree position
zero
Osteokinematics
the displacement of bones
- Rotary movement
Arthrokinematics
motion of joints
-thinking of loose pack & close pack positions
Loose pack
joint usually mid-range, near resting position
- Joint is least restraint to passive sliding
Close pack
joint at end ROM
-Joint has the greatest stability & most resistance to distraction
Concave surface
gliding in the same direction
ex: tibiofemoral flexion
Convex surface
gliding in the opposite direction
ex: shoulder abduction
Closed chain
Motion creates movement in one or more joints
- both segments are fixed = THINK OF Ground Reaction Forces
