Osteokinematic/Arthrokinematic Motions Flashcards
What are the 4 osteokinematic motions of the spine?
Flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral flexion
Lumbar flexion is an (anterior/posterior) and (superior/inferior) glide.
anterior and superior
What is the main muscle we talked about in class that works to flex the lumbar spine?
The rectus abdominus
Lumbar extension is a (anterior/posterior) and (superior/inferior) glide.
posterior and inferior
What is the main muscle group we talked about in class that work to extend the lumbar spine?
The erector spinae
If the lumbar spine tries to rotate to the right, the (right/left) articular facet will come under compression and limit this motion.
left
What muscles work to rotate the spine?
The internal and external obliques
In left lateral flexion, the right articular facet is going to slide in a (infero-medial/supero-lateral) direction and the left articular facet is going to slide in a (infero-medial/supero-lateral) direction.
supero-lateral; infero-medial
What muscles laterally flex the lumbar spine?
The quadratus lumborum and intertransversarii muscles
What are the normal osteokinematic motions that occur at the knee?
Flexion and extension
During knee flexion and extension, the tibia is (concave/convex) and the femur is (concave/convex).
concave; convex
Open chain knee flexion/extension is (concave on convex/convex on concave).
concave on convex
Closed chain knee flexion/extension is (concave on convex/convex on concave).
convex on concave
What is the arthrokinematics of open chain knee flexion?
Posterior roll and slide
What is the arthrokinematics of open chain knee extension?
anterior roll and slide
What is the arthrokinematics of closed chain knee flexion?
Posterior roll and anterior slide
