16
Q

How does the proximal or distal nature of the bony segment affect arthrokinematics?

A

It will determine if the concave is moving on the convex or vice versa

17
Q

Close-Packed Position

A
  • Joint Congruency: minimum
  • Ligaments and Capsule: slack
  • Joint Surfaces: unlocked
  • Intra-articular Volume: Maximized
  • Static Efficiency: inefficient
  • Dynamic Safety: safe
18
Q

Open-Packed Position

A
  • Joint Congruency: maximum
  • Ligaments and Capsule: tense
  • Joint Surfaces: locked
  • Intra-articular Volume: minimized
  • Static Efficiency: efficient
  • Dynamic Safety: dangerous
19
Q

Categories for ROM

A
  • Hypermobility
  • Normal
  • Hypomobility
20
Q

Normal back extension ROM

A

25 degrees

21
Q

Normal back flexion ROM

A

90 degrees

22
Q

Normal back lateral flexion ROM

A

25 degrees R/L

23
Q

Normal neck extension ROM

A

60 degrees

24
Q

Normal neck flexion ROM

A

50 degrees

25
Q

Normal neck lateral flexion

A

45 degrees R/L

26
Q

Normal neck rotation ROM

A

80 degrees R/L

27
Q

Normal hip extension ROM

A

30 degrees

28
Q

Hypermobility

A
  • May be normal, even advantageous
  • =/= instability
  • Can suggest underlying medical condition (Marfans, EDS, etc)
29
Q

Hypomobility

A

Little ROM compared to normal limits
