Answer 1

Gross movements of bones at joints

Question 2

What factors limit osteokinematic motion?

Answer 2

pain, swelling, muscle tightness, joint capsule shortening

Question 3

what is the purpose of performing overpressure when evaluating osetokinetmatic motion

Answer 3

a. Determine if accessory motion may be contributing to the loss of osteokinematic motion
b. Determine if the patient has capsular tightness
c. Determine if there is an alteration in arthrokinematics
d. Determine if there is a loss of joint play unobservable
e. All of the above

Question 4

Which of the following are characteristics of arthokinematic motion?

Answer 4

a. Necessary for full osteokinematic motion
b. Include roll, glide, and spin
c. Are unobservable
d. May be limited by capsular tightness
e. All of the above

Question 5

Which of the following are true according to the convex rule?

Answer 5

glide is in the opposite direction to roll; glide is in the opposite of the osteokinematic motion

Question 6

according to the convex rule when performing wrist curls at the gym in what direction will the proximal row of carpals glide?

Answer 6

Dorsal

Question 7

which of the following are true according to the concave rule?

Answer 7

a. Convex surface is stationary and concave surface moves
b. Glide is in the same direction as the osteokinematic movement
c. Glide and roll are in the same direction
d. All of the above
