100

When the concave surface is fixed and the convex surface moves on it, the convex surface rolls and glides in what direction?

opposite

100

What is the closed packed position of the tibiofemoral joint?

extension

100

In open chain, when the convex femoral head moves on the acetabulum, 

flexion the femoral head moves _______ and the acetabulum, glides ______

Anteriorly

posteriorly

100

Flexion of the atlantooccipital joint, the occipital condyle roll ____ and the facets move _____

Anterior

posterior

100

What is a convex surface and a concave surface?

Concave = hollowed or rounded inward

convex = curved or rounded outward

200

When the convex surface is fixed and the concave surface moves on it, the concave surface rolls and glides in what direction?

The same direction

200

During knee extension, in open chain, how does the tibia glide on the femur?

During knee flexion in closed chain, how does the femur glide on the tibia?

anteriorly

posteriorly

200

in a closed chain position, the talocrural joint the talus moves ____ and the mortise (part of tibia) moves _____ in dorsiflexion

anteriorly

anteriorly

200

on same side rotation of c2-7 the inferior facets slides _____ and _____ on superior facets

posterior and inferior

200

Why does the arthrokinematic rule of convex and concave change for the thumb?

The thumb is a saddle joint, a saddle joint is both convex and concave on one side

300

In closed chain, what bone is moving and what bone is fixed?

the proximal bone is moving, the distal end is fixed
300

What is the "screw-home" mechanism?

rotation between the tibia and femur occurs automatically between full extension and 20 degrees of knee flexion

300

The talocrural joint what is the convex and what is the concave surface?

convex = talus 

concave = mortise (tibia and fibula)

300

Sacral ILA (inferior lateral angle) cranial pressure helps with what?

helps if one side of the sacrum is lower to apply pressure

300

What types of movement occur at a saddle joint ex. trapeziometacarpal. 

saddle joint move in

flexion-extension

abduction-adduction

400

When concave moves on convex, what direction do they roll and glide?

Same direction

400

During glenohumeral ABduction, the humeral head rolls ____ and the glenoid fossa glides ____.

upward, downward

convex moving on concave = opposite direction

400

Inferior glide of the hip promotes what movement?

Abduction

*so the ball does not keep rolling up the wall* (for steph to remember dont use)

the convex concave have to move opposite ways

400

Bilateral PA pressure, stabilize the L side and press on the R contralateral sign in a PA motion, helps with what?

L rotation 

400

if R leg appears longer than the left, and the left appears shorter than the right, then the R pelvis is ______ rotated, and to fix this what muscles will you activate in muscle synergy

anteriorly

posterior chain

500

If the moving joint surface rolls on its partner without simultaneously gliding, what would happen to the surfaces?

The surfaces would gap or subluxate

500

What are the capsular patterns for the hip, knee, tibiofibular, talocrural, subtalar, and midtarsal joints?

hip = flexion, internal rotation, abduction

knee = flexion, extension

tibiofibular = pain when joint stressed

talocrural = plantar flexion, dorsiflexion

subtalar = limitation of varus range of movement

midtarsal = dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, adduction, medial rotation

500

What are the capsular patterns of the glenohumeral joint, sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint, humeroulnar, radio humeral, proximal radioulnar, distal radioulnar, wrist, trapeziometacarpal.

Glenohumeral = external rotation, abduction, internal rotation

sternoclvicular = pain at extreme end range of movement

acromioclvicular= pain at extreme end range of movement

humeroulnar = flexion, extension

radiohumeral = flexion, extension, supination, pronation

proximal radioulnar = supination, pronation

distal radioulnar = pain at extremes of rotation

wrist = flexion and extension equally limited

trapeziometacarpal = abduction, extension

500

Describe the capsular pattern for cervical spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine

cervical = side bending & rotation equally limited, extension

thoracic spine = side bending & rotation equally limited, extension

lumbar spine = side bending & rotation equally limited, extension

500

With knee extension the patella moves ____

with knee flexion the patella moves ____

superiorly

inferiorly
