QuestionAnswer
What is the relationship between joint strength and mobility? In other words, what happens to joint strength as joint mobility increases? Joint strength decreases as mobility increases.
What is the difference between functional and structural classification of joints? Structural: Based on anatomical composition of the joint (types of tissues that connect the two bones)/ Functional: Based on range of motion of the joint.
Know the three structural classifications of joints and their anatomical structure. Fibrous joints- Adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective tissue.
What are the three types of synarthroses? Suture: Only in skull/ Gomphosis: Fibrous connection. Binds teeth to sockets/ Synchondrosis: Rigid cartilaginous bridge btwn two bones.
What are the two types of amphiarthroses? Syndesmosis: Bones connected by ligaments ex; distal end of tibia and fibula/ Symphysis: Bones separated by fibrocartilage. ex' pubis symphasis pads the two pubic bones.
What is the articular capsule? Defines a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid
What is synovial fluid? Clear liquid that reduces friction
What are articular cartilages? Pad articulating surfaces within articular capsules. Prevents bones from touching
There are three possible axes of motion at joints. What are they? Monaxial( 1 axis)/ Biaxial ( 2 axes)/ Triaxial (3 axes)
Joints can move in ____ to ____ axes. 1-3
gliding 2 surfaces slide past each other. Ex: btwn carpal or tarsal bones.
flexion/extension/hyperextension(Angular mvmnt) Angular motion, sagital plane reduces angle btwn mvmt/ ""Increases angle btwn elements/"" Extension past anatomical position.
abduction/adduction Angular motion, frontal plane, moves away from longitudinal axis/""moves toward longitudinal axis
circumduction Circular motion w/o rotation
rotation (left, right, medial, and lateral) Direction of rotation from anatomical position. Relative to longitudinal axis of body/ Medial R: inward R/ Lateral R: Outward R
pronation/supination Rotates forearm, radius over ulna/ Forearm in anatomical position
inversion/eversion Twists sole of foot medially/"" laterally
dorsiflexion/plantar flexion Flexion at ankle/ Extension at ankle
opposition/reposition Thumb mvmt toward fingers or palm(grasping)/ opposite of opposition.
protraction/retraction Moves anteriorly, horizontal plane(pushing forward)/ Opposite of protraction, moving posteriorly (pulling back)
elevation/depression/lateral flexion. Moves up/ down/ bends vertebral column from side to side
gliding. how many axes of movement each is capable of, and the examples of each joint type Flattened or slightly curved faces/ slight nonaxial or multiaxial/ Ex: acromioclavicular & claviculosternal joints, intercarpal & intertarsal joints, sacro-iliac joints
hinge. how many axes of movement each is capable of, and the examples of each joint type Angular motion in s single plane (monaxial)/ Ex: Elbow, knee, ankle, and interphalangeal joint
pivot. how many axes of movement each is capable of, and the examples of each joint type Rotation only (monaxial)/ Ex: Atlanto-axial & proximal radio-ulnar joint
condylar. how many axes of movement each is capable of, and the examples of each joint type Oval articular face within a depression/ motion in two planes (biaxial)/ Ex: radiocarpal, metacarpophalangeal 2-5, and metatarsophalangeal joints
saddle. how many axes of movement each is capable of, and the examples of each joint type Two concave, straddled (biaxial)/ Ex: First carpometacarpal joint
ball-and-socket. how many axes of movement each is capable of, and the examples of each joint type Round articular face in a depression (triaxial)/ Ex: Shoulder & hip joint
What are the most commonly injured joints? Ankle, shoulder, knee
sprain stretching or tearing of supporting ligaments
sprained ankle Most common joint injury. Excessive inversion or eversion at ankle
ACL stabilizes knee by attch femur to tibia. commonly torn in sports due to sudden stopping, changing direction, or twisting at knee
shoulder separation Ligaments holding the acromioclavicular joint are stretched or torn.
dislocation Articulating surfaces are dislodged out of place by excessive force.
muscle strain muscles or tendons are overextended.
rotator cuff tear group of four tendons that atttach to shoulder muscles to humerus. Can tear or break down/
tendonitis Inflammation of tendons from overuse or acute injury.
tennis elbow Excessive extension movements
patellofemoral syndrome Pain in kneecap from overuse, articular cartilage breakdown, or muscle imbalances.
Most joint injuries can be effectively treated by which method? RICE: Rest, ice, compression, elevation.
What is arthritis? ALL forms of chronic joint pain or disease/ most forms have a genetic component that makes some people more likely than others to develop symptoms
What are some symptoms of arthritis? Swelling/ pain/ stiffness/ decreased ROM
Understand the causes and differences between degenerative arthritis Wearing down of articular cartilage due to age, overuse, or excessive weight
Understand the causes and differences between inflammatory arthritis autoimmune condition. Immune system attacks joints, causing excessive inflammation and degradation
Understand the causes and differences between infectious arthritis Bacterial, viral, or fungal infection in a joint from food poisoning, STI, or HepC/ Can be treated.
Know the three structural classifications of joints and their anatomical structure. Cartilaginous joints: Bones are joined by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
Know the three structural classifications of joints and their anatomical structure. Synovial joints: Articulating surfaces of bones are not directly connected. Contained within a joint cavity filled with lubricating fluid.
Be familiar with the three functional classifications of joints and how movable each type is Synarthrosis: Immovable joint. Commonly fibrous joints, sometimes cartilaginous.
Be familiar with the three functional classifications of joints and how movable each type is Amphiarthrosis: Slightly movable joint. Commonly cartilaginous joints, sometimes fibrous.
Be familiar with the three functional classifications of joints and how movable each type is Diarthrosis: Freely movable joint. ALL are synovial joints.
Be familiar with the accessory structures of synovial joints and the functions of each. Cartilages: cushion the joint. Meniscus (fibrocartilage pad)
Be familiar with the accessory structures of synovial joints and the functions of each. Fat Pads: Superficial to the joint capsule/ Protects articular cartilages
Be familiar with the accessory structures of synovial joints and the functions of each. Ligaments: Anchor bones to other bones/ Support & strengthen joints
Be familiar with the accessory structures of synovial joints and the functions of each. Tendons: Anchor muscles to bones/ attach to muscles around joint to support joint
Be familiar with the accessory structures of synovial joints and the functions of each. Bursae: Pockets of synovial fluid outside of the joint capsule that cushions areas where tendons or ligaments rub
