Ligaments
—Connect bone to bone, and helps the body move and keep bones in place.
Bursa
-Tiny sacs filled with fluid. These are found between all kinds of muscles ligaments and bones. The function of these is to reduce friction of these structures when they are gliding or moving around.
Tendon
-Like the ligament, this connects muscles to bone. These also aid in mobility
Flexion
-When moving a body part, this is when two body parts become closer together then originally
Extension
-When moving a body part, this is when two body parts become further together then originally
Abduction
—When moving a body part, this is when the moving part geos away from midline of body
Adduction
—when moving a body part, this is when the moving part comes closer to midline of body
Eversion
—When turning something, like the foot, outwards and away from median plane
Inversion
—When turning something, like foot, inwards to median plane (common cause of sprained ankle in basketball)
Rotation
—The rotation of bones that are on joints, like the movement of the head/neck, or moving the shoulder around
Pronation
—Keeping palms of hands down, and back of hand on top
Supination
—Keeping palms of hands palm upwards, like you are receiving soup
Circumduction
—Moving a body part in a circular motion while one stays in place- like doing arm circles.
AROM
—Range of motion that can be achieved by one person, on their own
—Range of motion that can be achieved by help from outside force, like nurse.
PROM
Atrophy
—The decrease in the size of any organ or tissue. This is when cells start to degenerate and loss size and strength
Kyphosis
—When the spine curves too many outwards, causing an outward curvature of more then 50 degrees
Lordosis
—When the spine curves too many inwards, causing the back to go inwards
Scoliosis
—Much like kyphosis, his is when the spine curves too much laterally, causing pain in the spin
Opposition
—The thumb stretches along side all the way across fingers to the end of fingers.
Internal rotation—
The rotation of a joint that goes closer to midline of body.
External rotation
—The rotation of a joint that goes further away from midline of body.
Paresthesia—
Usually Felt on the hands, arms, legs or feet. This is when the skin starts to tingle or become numb, like a burning sensation.
Crepitus-
- Bone moving against other bone that produces a crackling to grinding noise. This can appeaser at any time in anyone, and it is just the noise created by ends of bone moving against each other.
Asymmetry
—When two objects on the body that are supposed to be symmetrical that are not actually symmetrical.
Bouchard nodules
—When there are swollen bumps on the finger that are causing the finger to become immobile and unable to be used.
