Quiz 1 Flashcards
Fibrous Joints
Immovable
Gomphosis
between teeth. Underlying mandibular and maxillary
Syndesmosis
long fibrous connective tissue firmly attach the 2 bones together. (distal radioulnar and tibiofibular joints)
Cartilaginous Joints
joins 2 bones together with cartilaginous connective tissue
Synovial Joints (Diarthrodial)
joint capsule
Nonaxial
- Movements not in a specific plane or axis
- articulations between carpal and tarsal bones
sliding movements
Uniaxial Joints
Movement around 1 axis
- Hinge joints
- pivot joints
Hinge Joints
- Sagittal plane around frontal axis
- Bones prevent movements in other planes and axes
- elbow joint (between ulna and humerus), knee, interphalangeal joints
Biaxial Joints
- Condyloidal (supported on all sides by ligaments and tendons without additional bony support)
- Saddle (between trapezium and 1st metacarpal bone)
triaxial joint
- ball and socket
- most injured joints in body
- sound ligaments and numerous muscle tendons exist on all sides to help strengthen and reinforce the joint
Parallel Muscles
- Strap muscles
- Fusiform muscles
- Rhomboidal muscles
- Triangular muscles
Oblique Muscles
- Unipennate muscles
- Bipennate muscles
- Multipennate muscles
Parallel Muscles give you more
range of motion
Oblique Muscles give you more
force
Characteristics of Muscles include
- Normal resting length
- Irritability
- Contractility
- Extensibility
- Elasticity
Normal resting length
Length of an unstimulated muscle
irritability
ability to respond to a stimulus
Contractility
Ability to contract (shorten, stay the same, or lengthen) Ex: Slinky
Extensibility
Ability to lengthen or stretch
Elasticity
Ability to recoil (return to normal resting length)
Relationship in muscle tone include
- Tension
- Tone
- Excursion
Tension
Force built up within a muscle (can be passive or active)
Tone
Slight tension that is present in muscle at all times (a state of readiness)
Excursion
Distance from max elongation to max shortening
Why is stretching preformed?
Stretching lengthens resting length of a muscle. Always should be preformed on relaxed muscles
Active Insufficiency
The point at which a muscle cannot shorten any farther
Occurs to the agonist
Calculation of stretching
- A muscle is able to shorten to ~ 1/2 its resting length
- It can be stretched about 1.5x as far as it can be shortened
ex: 6” muscle
shortened to 3”
lengthened to 9”
Passive Insufficiency
Muscle can’t be elongated any further without damage to the fibers
occurs to the antagonist
Stretching is when the muscle gets
longer
Contracting is when the muscle gets
shorter
Wrist flexion automatically puts your fingers in
extension
Tenodesis
(Tendon action of a muscle)
use with a person with quadriplegia that does not have active grasp/release
Types of muscle contractions include
- Isometric contraction
- Isotonic contraction
- Isokinetic contraction
Isometric
- force without changing size
- muscle stays the same length
- Muscle contracts and produces force without changing the length of the muscle
