Lecture 4-5 Flashcards
Plane is determined by what?
flat surface determined by 3 points in space.
what planes do we deal with?
saggital - splits us side to side, frontal- splits front to back, transfers- top to bottom
What is plane motion?
motion in which all points of a rigid body move parallel to a fixed plane
What is a saggital plane motion, remember sagital splits us into right and left
Flexion and extension, because when you flex/extend the movement is parallel to the saggital plane.
What is normal frontal/coronal motion?
abduction adduction, because those movenets are parallel to the coronal plane
What is normal motion of tranverse plane?
rotation, turning head, twisting., parallel to tranverse plane
What are the dimential limitions of plane motion?
its two dimentional
What are the dimential limitionas of out of plane motion?
its three dementional, all points of rigid don’t move in single plane, circumvex
axis is what
line around which rotary movement or translation occurs
what are the directions of the x axus
- x-side to side axis, perpendicular to saggital plane
What are the directions of the Y axis?
y axis pointing up through skull, perpendicular to the transverse plane
What are the directions of the z axis
z axis, front to back, perpendicular to the coronal/frontal plane
Other name for z axis?
saggital
Other name for y axis
longitudinal axis
Other name for x axis
coronal/frontal axis
What is ment by degrees of freedom?
number of ways in which body can move
how many degrees of freedom does a spinal segment have
spinal segments have 6 degrees of freedom, 3 translations and 3 rotations,
What is instaneous axis of roation?
idea that when a rigid body moves in a plane, there is a point maybe a hypothetical extention that doesn’t move
what is used to describe any vertebral motion in a two dementional plane?
instaneous axis of rotation
Is the Instaneous axis of rotation the same for the entire spine?
No, its different for each section, thorasic, lumbar, cervical and different under different loads
what is the functional unit of the spine?
motion segment
What makes up a motion segment?
two adjacent vertebrae and their interconnecting disc, joints, capsule and ligaments
characteristics of a motion segment?
smallest spinal segment (2) exhibiting biomechanical characteristics similar to those of the entire spine with 6 degrees of freedom
what ligament is around articular fascets
capsular ligaments
what is the pedicle joint called?
zygapophyseal joint with a joint space
what is coupled motion?
two motions ocuring at the same time along different axes that cannot be produced without the other
what joints have loose packed position?
fascet joints are loose packed half way between flexion and tension
what is the loose packed joint position used for?
traction or joint mobilization
what makes up a lose packed joint position?
1) capsule and ligamens are most relaxed, 2) maximum joint play is possible, 3) articulation surfaces are maximally separated
what is a close packed joint position?
capsule and ligaments are maximally tightened with no joint play and maximal contact between articular surfaces
when would there be close packed joint position of spine?
flexion or extension of spine.
What spinal section is the most movable
cervical can do the most,
what is the least movable section?
probably the thorasic, can barely do anything.
