New cards
49

Empty End Feel

is a pathologic type denoting pain on motion but absence of resistance.

New cards
50

Open Kinematic Chain

  • the distal end of the chain is free to move, and one joint can move independently of others in the chain

  • distal segment is moving

New cards
51

Closed Kinematic Chain

  • both the proximal and the distal ends of the chain remained fixed

  • proximal segment is moving

New cards
52

Synarthrodial Joints

  • these joints are bound by fibrous connective tissue

  • material used is interosseous connective tissue

  • connective tissue directly unites one bone to another creating a bone-solid connective tissue-bone interface (fibrous or cartilaginous)

  • immovable

New cards
53

Amphiarthrodial Joints

  • hallmarked by a cartilaginous structure with combinations of both fibrous and hyaline cartilage

  • slightly movable

New cards
54

  • e.g. sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses

New cards
56

Cartilaginous Joints

Syndesmoses

bony components are joined directly by an interosseous ligament, a fibrous cord, or an aponeurotic membrane.

New cards
63

Symphysis

  • secondary cartilaginous joint

  • bony components are covered with a thin lamina of hyaline cartilage and directly joined by fibrocartilage in the form of disks or pads

New cards
64

Synchondrosis

  • primary cartilaginous joint

  • material used for connecting the two components is hyaline cartilage

  • forms a bond between two ossifying centers of bone

  • permits bone growth while also providing stability and allowing a small amount of mobility

New cards
65

Stratum Fibrosum and Stratrum Synovium

two layers of the joint capsule

New cards
66

Stratum Fibrosum

  • fibrous capsule

  • composed of dense fibrous tissue

  • dry weight - 90% collagen and elastin

  • wet weight - 70% water

  • predominant collagen is type 1

New cards
67

Stratum Synovium

  • lining of the capsule

  • two layers: intima and subsynovial tissue

New cards
68

Intima

  • composed of synviocytes (specialized fibroblasts)

New cards
69

Subsynovial Tissue

  • highly vascularized

  • its cells produce matrix collagen

  • provides support for the intima and merges with the fibrous capsule

New cards
70

Synovial Fluid

  • keep the joint surfaces lubricated

  • reduces friction

  • provide nutrition for hyaline cartilage

  • composition: similar to blood plasma

  • clear, pale yellow color

  • has the ability to resist loads that produce shear

New cards
71

Hyaluronate

reduces friction between synovial folds and articular surfaces.

New cards
72

Lubricin

responsible for cartilage-on-cartilage lubrication.

New cards
73

Thixotropic

viscosity of the the fluid varies inversely with the joint velocity or rate of shear

New cards
74

Degrees of Freedom

number of planes within which a joint moves.

New cards
75

New cards
83

End Feel

the sensation experienced by the examiner performing passive physiologic movements at each joint.

New cards
84

Roll

  • refers to the rolling of one joint surface on another.

  • there is a new point of contact on both the stationary and moving articulating surface

New cards
85

Sliding

  • refers to the a pure translatory motion

  • gliding of one component to the other

  • there is a new point of contact on the stationary surface

New cards
86

Spin

  • pure rotary motion

  • no change

New cards
87

Closed Packed Position

  • joint is stable, that it doesn't permit movement or permits very limited movement only

  • the position that both of the articular surfaces are in the maximum congruency status for a joint, resulting in the greatest mechanical stability for that joint

  • most ligaments and capsules surrounding the joint are taut

New cards
88

Open Packed Position

  • permits movement

  • the ligamentous and capsular structures are slack, and the joint surfaces may be distracted several millimeters

New cards
89

Concave-Convex Rule

  • the concave articular surface moves in the same direction as the moving bone

  • gliding occurs in the same direction as the physiological movement

New cards
90

Convex-Concave Rule

  • the convex articular surface moves in the opposite direction of the moving bone

  • gliding occurs in the opposite to the physiological movement
