Spongy bone
Compact bone
Osteoblasts?
Bone-forming osteocytes
Wolff’s Law?
Calcification after a break
Degree of freedom (DOF)
How it moves

How MUCH it moves
Fibrous joints?
Have firm connections between bones
Sutures?
continuous periosteal connections between bones
Gomphoses?
joints where teeth fit into socket of jaw
Cartilaginous joints?
Have slightly more movement than fibrous joints
First range of motion?
Active - Client moves a given body part through its possible motions independently
Second range of motion?
Passive - Client rests while therapist moves joint through its possible movements
Third range of motion?
Resisted - Client meets resistance from practitioner in attempting to produce movement at a joint
3 factors that affect joint stability?
Joint type
Ligaments
Muscles
Ligaments?
Increase stability
Levers?
Combination of muscle and bone articulation enable the joints to work as levers
Muscle contraction type?
Isometric; Iso = same, metric = length
Eccentric; muscle lengthening
Concentric; muscle shortening
