100

osteokinematic movements of the GH joint

flexion, extension, internal and external rotation, abduction, adduction, horizontal adduction and abduction 

100

joint play that can be performed at the SC joint 

glides: superior, inferior, anterior, posterior 

100

what structure is affected with higher grades of joint play 

articular capsule, ligaments 

100

The higher grades of joint mobilization and name both types 

sustained - 3

oscillatory - 3,4 

100

what is arthrokinematics 

passive movements that occur between the joint surfaces 

200

joint play that can be performed at the GH

traction, inferior glide, posterior glide, anterior glide 

200

osteokinematic movements of the SC joint

elevation, depression, protraction, retraction

200

what type of joint are all synovial joints classified as 

diarthrosis 

200

name 2 indications for joint play 

pain, hypomobility, muscle spasm

200

what does open packed position (aka loose packed) mean 

when the joint surfaces are at most relaxed

300

Name of the bursa in the shoulder that helps prevent friction of structures

subacromial 

300

purpose of joint play at the AC joint

helpful for general shoulder motion

300

name all of the osteokinematic movements of the scapulothoracic joint 

elevation, depression, protraction, retraction, upward and downward rotation

300

your client has recently been diagnosed with OA of the hands, explain how joint play may be helpful at this stage 

it provides nourishment of the joint through the synovial fluid 

300

what is the capsular pattern at the GH joint

restriction in lateral rotation, abduction, medial rotation

400

direction of joint play that will help with external rotation 

anterior glide 

400

demonstrate all joint mobilizations at the proximal radioulnar joint 

anterior and posterior glide 

400

when performing a posterior glide of the GH joint, where do you stabilize and what do you mobilize 

stabilize at outer part of upper arm and mobilize head of the humerus 

400

Name 4 CI's to joint mobilization 

bone cancer

recent fracture still healing

pregnancy

inflammation/swelling present

infection

instability

elderly/frail

advanced stages of OA

during inflammatory phase of RA

artificial joints 

400

explain the convex concave rule at the 1st CMC

 Concave for medial and lateral glide 

Convex for anterior and posterior glide 

500

if the client is lifting the arm into abduction, what is happening between the joint surfaces

roll is occurring superiorly and slide is occurring inferiorly 

500

which 2 regions of the body are not "synovial" joints but joint play can still be performed here 

distal tibiofibular joint, scapulothoracic joint 

500

What are the 6 types of synovial joints 

plane, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, ball and socket 

500

explain the convex and concave rule at the SC joint 

convex for superior and inferior

concave for anterior and posterior 

500

What are the 2 layers of a joint capsule (aka articular capsule)

fibrous

inner synovial membrane
