Synovial plane joint
Describe the movements available and ROM for the cervical spine.
Flexion 80 to 90
Extension 70
Lateral flexion 20 to 45

List the orientation of the following.
- Atlanto Occipital joint
- Cervical
- Thoracic
- Lumber
- Lumbosacral junction
- Atlanto Occipital joint (Transverse)
- Cervical (Coronal 45 degrees)
- Thoracic (Coronal 60 degrees)
- Lumber (L1 to L4 Sagittal 90 degrees)
- Lumbosacral junction (coronal 45 degrees)
The Atlantoaxial joint is responsible for what percentage of movement via rotation of the cervical spine.
50 degrees of available rotation
- What accessory movements at the atlantoccipital joint?
- Describe the arthrokinematics between the AO during flexion.
- What is the available ROM?
- Which ligament stabilize this articulation?
- Describe the arthrokinematics between the AO during extension.
1. Flexion and extension Side bending 2. Posterior slide and an anterior roll of the condyles on the concavity of the lateral masses of the Atlas. 3. 10 degrees flexion, 5 degrees extension 4. Atlantoccipital joint capsule Lateral atlantoccipital ligament Atlantoccipital membrance 5. Posterior roll and an anterior glide
- What is the palpatory contact which performing accessory movements of the AO?
- Which 2 points are palpated via assessment of the AO.
- Which muscles attach to the mastoid process?
- Thumb and index finger
- Posterior to the mastoid process of the temporal bone and the transverse process (lateral mass) of C1
- SCM and splenius capitis
- How many Atypical Cervical vertebrae do we have?
- Name them.
- Why are they Atypical?
- 3
- C1,2,7
- They adopt characteristics that are not present in other cervical vertebrae.
Which movements are possible via the thoracic spine?
Flexion 20 to 45
Extension 25 to 45
Lateral flexion 20 to 40
Rotation 35 to 50
Which movements are present in the lumber spine?
Flexion 40 to 60
Extension 25 to 35
Lateral flexion 15 to 20
Rotation 3 to 18
- How many bones are in the body?

- How many bones contribute towards the formation of the appendicular skeleton?
- 206
- 80
- 126
Which bones make up the axial skeleton? (6)
Cranial/facial bones Auditory ossicles Sternum Ribs Hyoid Vertebral column
Which bones make up the appendicular skeleton? (6)
All appendages including the shoulder girdle
Describe the three planes of the body and the movements which occur within these planes.
- 2
- 5
- 4
- Sagittal Plane
Flexion and extension movements - Coronal Plane
Lateral flexion, abduction/adduction, inversion/eversion - Transverse Plane
(Horizontal abduction/adduction, supination/pronation)
Which joints contribute towards the formation of the shoulder complex. State what type of synovial joints they are.
Shoulder girdle is made up of following joints:
Gleno-humeral ; synovial ball and socket.
Acromio-clavicular; synovial plane with intra-articular disc.
Sterno-clavicular; modified saddle, with intra-articular disc.
State the movements of the shoulder joint and the available ROM
Flexion 180 Extension 50 Abduction 180 Adduction (Horizontal) 10 to 55 Internal Rotation 60 External Rotation 80
