Overview of kinesiology Flashcards
This type of flex happens when muscles are overstretched or stretched too rapidly
Stretch Flex
Which joint allows for circumduction
the Glenohumeral joint
Thin oval plates of fibro cartilage that separate synovial cavities by joints
Articular discs
What is the most helpful ROM to rebuild strength
Active Resisted
A slightly moveable cartilaginous joint
Ampiarthrotic joint
2 or more fascia surfaces that are stuck together
Adhesion
Muscular Health meaning
Optimal strength, tone, circulation and flexibility of muscles that results in effective functioning
Shaft of bone
Middle part of a long bone
The abnormal state of an anatomic structure that limits/restricts flexibility
Anatomical restriction
Passive stretch
Stretch with help from practitioner
Active stretching
Client performing the stretch by themselves
Physiological restrictions
Conditions that create challenges to normal physiological restrictions
Joints can be ___,___,___

What helps provide information about underlying areas based on cooler/warmer tissues
Palpatation
A bony landmark where ligaments and tendons attach
Attachment site

Fibrous Joint
Movement of the hand towards the radial aspect of the forearm
Radial deviation

Pivot joint
6 types of joints
Pivot, gliding, ball+socket joints, saddle, hinge, condyloid
a synovial joint that are freely moveable
diathrotic

suboccipitals
The tarsal bone that articulates directly with the tibia is the:
talus
