"two joint"


Freely moveable joint


ex. finger, knee, hip and shoulder

Structural Classifications of Joints

Joint/Synovial Fluid


Associated Joint Structures

Articular/ Joint Capsule

Fibrous Capsule


Synovial Membrane

Fibrous Capsule

Collagen

Synovial Membrane

Thin squamous epithelium


Filters synovial fluid from blood, exchanges

Articular Cartilage

Hyaline Cartilage

Joint/Synovial Cavity

Contains Synovial fluid (serum like)


Lubricates to Cartilage


Nutrition to Cartilage

Associated Joint Structures

Ligaments


Tendons


Bursa

Ligaments

Connects bone to bone


Dense regular C.T.

Tendons

Connects muscle to bone


Dense Regular C.T.

Bursa

"Purse"


Flat sac of synovial fluid


Acts to decrease friction around/outside joint

Tendon Sheath

Bursa wraps around tendon

Types of Synovial Joints

Plane


Hinge


Pivot


Condyloid


Saddle


Ball and Socket

Plane Joint Ex.

Intercarpal Joint

Hinge Joint Ex.

Elbow and Knee Joint

Pivot Joint Ex.

Joint between radio-ulnar (proximal)

Condyloid Joint Ex.

Metacarpal Phalangeal Joint

Saddle Joint Ex.

Thumb

Ball and Socket Joint Ex.

Shoulder and Hip

Flexion Vs. Extension (also Hyperextension)

Movement in Sagittal Planes (Ant./Post.)


Flexion: "Bend", Decrease Joint Angle


Extension: "Straighten" Increase Joint Angle


Hyperextension: Beyond Anatomical Position

Are you flexing or extending in Anatomical Position?

Extending

Abduction Vs. Adduction

Movement in Frontal/Coronal Plane


Abduction: Away from Midline


Adduction: Towards Midline

Rotation

Oriented from Anterior


Right Vs. Left


Medial Vs. Lateral

Pronation Vs. Supination

Movement in Forearm


Pronation: Radius and Ulna Crossed


Supination: Radius and Ulna Parallel

Are you in Pronation or Supination in the Anatomical Position?

Supination

Plantarflexion Vs. Dorsiflexion

Movement in Foot


Plantarflexion: tip toe, step on gas


Dorsiflexion: walking on heels, foot off gas

Inversion Vs. Eversion

Movement in Foot


Inversion: Sole goes medial


Eversion: Sole goes lateral

Protraction Vs. Retraction

Occurs in Mandible, Shoulder, Hip


Protraction: Movement Anteriorly


Retraction: Movement Posteriorly

Elevation Vs. Depression


Occurs in Mandible, Shoulder


Elevation: Raising, ex. closed mouth (elevated mandible)


Depression: Lowering ex. open mouth (depressed mandible)

Opposition


Thumb


Touch thumb tip to other finger tips

Factors Involving Range of Motion


Muscle and tendons around joint


Fit of bones


Other connective tissues

Counter balance

Greater range of motion, lesser overall stability of joint

Shoulder Joint


Gleno-Humeral Joint


Form: Loose and shallow, thin lip (labrum)


Stability: Muscles


Rotator Cuff Muscles: 4, from scapula to head area of Humerus


Tendons of biceps long head

Hip Joint


Acetofemural Joint


Form: Deep compared to shoulder: deep cavity and thick labrum


Stability: Fit and ligaments


Fit: Deep


Ligaments

Ligaments in Acetofemural Joint


Head: Ligament of the head of femur (ligamentum terres)


Illium to Femur: Illiofemural Ligament


Ischium to Femur: Ischiofemural Ligament


Pubis to Femur: Pubofemural Ligament

What happens to the ligaments when you extend the hip? (Standing)

Causes ligament to twist, helps force head of femur into acetabulum

Knee (Joint)


Largest and most complex joint


Stability: ligaments supported by muscles

Ligaments in Knee


Collateral Ligaments: tibial/fibular or medial/lateral


Cruciate Ligaments: Intrascapular "Cross" anterior and posterior


Patellar Ligament: from patella to tibial tuberosity

Tendon in Knee

Patellar tendon (Quadriceps tendon)

Menisci (Meniscus singular)

pads of fibrocartilage on tibial condyles, medial and lateral

Arthritis

Joint Inflammation

Osteoarthritis


Wear and tear


Loss of articular cartilage


Rubbing together of bone leads to bone spurs

Rheumatoid Arthritits


Auto immune disease


Immune system attacks joints

Infectious Arthritis

Joint pain when you have a virus or bacterial infection

Gout


Uric acid builds up in joints (Usually big toe)


Uric acid is normally found in urine

Sprain

Stretched or torn ligament

Strain

Stretched or torn muscle
