Random Ortho Flashcards
1st class lever
fulcrum/axis is located BETWEEN the force and resistance
designed for balance
examples:
- head on C1 moving into flexion/extension
- playground seesaw
2nd class lever
The axis is at one end, the resistance is in the middle and the force is at the other end
designed for power
Examples:
- closed chain PF
- a wheelbarrow
3rd class lever
The axis is at one end, force is in the middle and resistance is at the other end
**most common lever in the human body- advantage for ROM
Examples:
-elbow or knee flexion
Plumb line description
Should fall through:
- external meatus of ear
- acromion process
- hip joint
Posterior to the patella
Anterior to the lateral malleolus
(in this position, the soles muscle is the most active muscle to maintain the body’s balance. it contracts to counter the forward moment of the tibia around the ankle joint)
What is a capsular pattern?
a restriction of motion that results when the length and flexibility of the capsular fibers are impaired
if a lesion causes a restriction of movement that is not characteristic of the pattern, it is known as a non capsular pattern
What are 4 possible causes of non capsular patterns?
ligaments
adhesions
internal derangements
extra-articular lesions
Glenohumeral capsular/restriction pattern:
ER>abduction>flexion>IR
elbow capsular pattern:
flexion>ext
radioulnar capsular pattern:
pronation=supination
wrist capsular pattern:
flexion=extension
interphalangeal capsular pattern:
flexion>extension
hip capsular pattern:
flexion>IR>abduction
knee capsular pattern:
flexion>extension
ankle capsular pattern:
PF>DF
toe capsular pattern:
extension>flexion
