Freely Movable Mechanics
This stretch is considered the best to use prior to a workout
What is Dynamic?
There are six of these joint types
What are Ball and Socket, Hinge, Gliding, Saddle, Pivot, and Condyloid?
This connects bone to bone
What are ligaments?
This joint the the most common to be dislocated/injured
What is the shoulder joint?
The purpose of this is to reduce friction and distribute loads
What is articlular cartilage?
As your muscles fatigue, your range of motion does this
What is decrease?
Three categories are used to name these joints:
What are Synarthroses (Immovable), Ampiarthroses (Slightly Movable), and Diarthroses (Freely Movable)?
This connects bones to muscle
What are tendons?
This injury involves inflammation of the bursa due to overuse
What is Bursitis?
This type of joint is the sutures of the skull
What is synarthroses?
There are five types of stretching described in joint flexibility training; name them
What is Static, Dynamic, Ballistic, PNF, and Active?
Examples of this joint include the foot, knee, spine, scapula, and the elbow
What are Stable Joints?
Golgi Tendons and muscle spindles, respectively, detect these factors
What is muscle tension and stretch/length?
This type of injury occurs when ligaments are stretched beyond their normal limits but are not completely torn
What is a sprain?
This white material covers the ends of bones
What is articular cartilage?
These factors can have a huge impact on joint range of motion
What is bone shape, muscle length, ligaments/ capsule, soft tissue contact, age/activity, and nervous system?
Flexion/Extension, ABduction/ADduction, and External/Internal rotation are common in these joints
What is the shoulder and hip?
This organ, by increasing muscle tension, helps to promote relaxation in muscle when developing tension
A torn ligament or tendon results in this injury
What is a Grade 3 Sprain?
This part of the synovial joint lines the capsule and produces lubrication
What is the synovial membrane?
This structure reduces joint friction to a point that joint movement produces less friction than a skate on ice, and works with fluid movement under load
Joint stability is influenced by these important factors
What is Shape of articulating bone surfaces, ligaments, muscles and tendons, and joint position?
What are muscle spindles?
This autoimmune disease attacks articular cartilage on the ends of bones
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Every diarthrotic (synovial) joint must have these four things:
What are articular cartilage, articular (joint) capsules, synovial membrane, and synovial fluid?
