MIDTERM #1 Flashcards
arthrokinematics
movements that occur inside joint
(roll, spin, glide)
osteokinematics
movement of body parts
(flex, ext, ADD, ABD)
articulation classifications (3)
- structure (how they look)
- function (how much movement occurs)
- biomechanical properties (how they move)
structural joints
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
functional joints
synarthrosis - immovable
amphiarthrosis - slightly movable
diarthrosis - freely movable
biomechanical properties
simple: two articulating surfaces
complex - two or more with articulating disc
compound - three or more
3 types of structural joints
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
3 types of fibrous joints
sutures
syndesmosis
interosseous membrane
3 types of cartilaginous joints
synchondrosis
symphysis
epiphyseal cartilage
synovial joints
-synovial cavity: synovial fluid
-hyaline cartilage: articular cartilage
-diarthrosis
articular capsule: two membranes
fibrous (outside)
synovial (inside)
synovial fluid functions
lubricates synovial cavity
reduces friction
shock absorbers
supplies oxygen & nutrients
takes away wastes like carbon dioxide
contains phagocytes to remove normal debris
articular disc function
-act as shock absorbers
-make better fit between articular bones
-distribute weight & synovial fluid over greater surface area
labrum
-fibrocartilaginous lip that extends from edge of joint socket
-helps deepen socket & increase surface area
*occurs in ball & socket
tendon sheeth
-covering over tendon that reduces friction
-tube-like bursa that wraps around tendon (wrist & ankle)
-contains synovial fluid
-reduce friction in repetitive movements (back & forth)
bursa
-fluid filled sac
-acts as cushion/ protection around joint
-reduce friction
6 types of synovial joints
plane
hinge
pivot
condyloid
saddle
ball & socket
plane joints
gliding
biaxial / triaxial
hinge (ginglymus) joints
flexion & extension
uniaxial
pivot (trochoid) joints
rotation
uniaxial
condyloid (ellipsoid) joints
flexion/ extension, ABD/ADD, circumduction
biaxial
saddle (sellar) joints
flexion/ extension, ABD/ADD, circumduction
biaxial
ball & socket (spheroid) joints
flexion/ extension, ABD/ADD, rotation
triaxial / multiaxial
factors affecting contact in synovial joint
-structure/ shape of articulating bones, how closely they fit together
-strength & tension/ tautness of ligaments around joint, in certain positions, restrict some ROM & direct movement at joint
-arrangement & tension of mm, flexed hip restricted by hamstrings
-contact of soft parts, may limit mobility
-hormones: relaxin produced at or near birth increases flexibility of fibrocartilage in pubic symphysis joint to expand the pelvic outlet for delivery
-disuse: restricts movement, decreases synovial fluid, mm atrophy, joint becomes less mobile & flexible
ROM
measurement of amount of movement around a specific joint
passive (relaxed) ROM
therapist makes motion of joint while patient is relaxed through unrestricted range
anatomic barrier = end of PROM
active ROM
patient “actively” contracts voluntary muscles crossing joint, moving joint through its ROM
physiological barrier = end of AROM
close packed position
-joint stability = greatest
-max mobility
-max stability
open (loose) packed position
-little congruity
-minimal stability
-minimal mobility
capsular pattern of restriction
predictable pattern of movement restriction that occurs in a synovial joint when entire joint capsule is injured / affected
-result of a total joint reaction
*most restricted to least
proprioception - kinesthesia
perception of body movements
sensory information travels to brain relaying information about what our joints are doing - our brain responds
3 types of proprioceptors around joints
muscle spindles: within skeletal muscles
tendon organs: within tendons
joint kinesthetic receptors: within synovial joint capsule
muscle spindles
measure LENGTH in skeletal muscle
-finely controlled: finger & eye movements, mm spindles plentiful
-coarser, forceful: thigh muscles, mm spindles fewer
golgi tendon organs
protect TENDONS
-tension & force
joint kinesthetic receptors
monitor STRETCH
-joint kinesthetic receptors
-free nerve endings
-Ruffini corpuscles
-small Pacinian corpuscles
-joint ligaments
common joint disorders
-sprain: stretching/ tearing of ligament
-dislocation: joint alignment interrupted
-subluxation: partial/ incomplete dislocation of joint
-bursitis: inflammation of bursa around joint
-tendinitis: inflammation of tendon / tendon sheath (tenosynovitis)
-arthritis: inflammation of joint, caused by age related degeneration, past trauma, inflammatory or autoimmune diseases or metabolic diseases (gout)
effects of aging on joints
-decreased production of synovial fluid
-decreased joint space
-articular cartilage becomes thinner
-ligaments shorten & lose some of their flexibility
-muscles weaken & weak joints
