quiz 2: Arthrokinematics and Biomechanics Flashcards
manner in whih bones move in space without regard to the movement of joint surfaces. Ie. shoulder flexion/extension
osteokinematics
joint surface motion
arthrokinematics
new points on each surface come in contact throughout the movement
roll
one point on a surface contacts new points on adjacent surface (linear movement)
glide or slide
same point on each surface remains in contact
spin
quality of what is felt when a joint is moved passively to its end range and a slight pressure is applied
end feel
definite limit -> boney black
hard end feel
firm with slight give at limitation -> tension in joint capsule, ligaments, muscles/tendons
firm end feel
limitation due to soft tissue approximation and compression due to muscle or adipose tissue mass
soft end feel
limitation due to considerable pain; mechanical limitation not felt yet
empty end feel
The (convex or concave) shape of a bone moving on another bone determines the motion at the joint surface
convex-concave rule
If a convex surface moves over a concave surface, the glide is in the _____ direction of the moving body segment or the roll
opposite
If a concave surface moves over a convex surface, the glide is in the _____ direction of the moving body segment or the roll
same
hoe much of the joint surfaces are in contact with each other
joint congruency
joint surfaces have maximum contact; joint is tightly compressed; ligaments and joint capsule are taut.
close-packed or closed-pack position
joint surfaces have minimum contact; parts of joint capsule and ligaments are lax
open-packed or loose-packed position, or resting position
position usually used when testing a joint for stability
close-packed or closed-pack positions
position usually used for joint mobilizations including joint traction or distraction; used for positioning to help relieve pain in joints
open-packed or loose-packed positions, or resting positions
principles of forces and motion as applied to the structure and function of the human body
