Human Joints

-Synarthosis (non-synovial)


-Diarthrosis (synovial)

Synarthosis

-non synovial joints


-fibrous


-cartilaginous



Fibrous Joints

-Bony surface united by dense fibrous tissue


-Suture


-Gomphosis


-Syndesmosis

Suture

-thin layer of fibrous tissue (skull)

Gomphosis

-peg in a whole with fibrous tissue (tooth)

Syndesmosis

-bone surfaces joined by a ligament (tibial/fibial jxn)

Cartilaginous Joints

-minimal movement


-Synchondrosis


-Symphysis

Synchondrosis

-bone-cartilage-bone


-1st sternocostal



Symphysis

-fibroucartilage or hyaline cartilage


-pubic symphysis

Diarthroses

-synovial joints


-uniaxial, biaxial, triaxial



Uniaxial

-hinge joints (elbow)


-pivot joints (radioulnar joint)

Biaxial

-condyloid joints (radiocarpal)


-saddle joints (thumb)



Triaxial

-plane joints (carpal)


-ball and socket joints (hip)

Transverse plane

-divides body superior and inferior

Sagittal plane

-divides body left and right

Coronal plane (frontal)

-divides body anterior and posterior

Closed-pack position

-joint surfaces are fully congruent with capsule and ligaments taut


-joint motion cannot occur normally in this position


-hanging from a tree (elbow)


-stance phase



Loose-pack position (open)

-joint surface contact is minimal


-capsule and ligament relaxed

Joint play (slack motion)

-normal slack


-permits gliding and distracton

Osteokinematic (physiological joint motion)

-motion of the bony segments about the 3 body planes


-often described in the cardinal planes (ROM)

Arthrokinematic (accessory joint motion)

-motion of joint articular surfaces during osteokinematic of physiological motion


-not voluntary control

Accessory joint motions

-rolling


-gliding


-spin



Concave-Convex rule

-rolling and gliding occurs during joint motion


-rolling always occurs in direction of the moving segment


-convex on concave: opposite


-concave on convex: same

Torque

-strength of rotation


-forces that cause rotation

Non-rotatory action

-distracting


-stabilizing


-translatory



Resolution of Force Actions

-representation of a single force as 2 or more separate forces


-perpendicular (rotary) and parallel (translatory) components

Composition of Forces

-representation of two or more forces as a single force (shoulder flexion/extension=abduction)

Force couple

-opposite forces which tend to cause rotation about an axis (upper trapezius and serratus anterior rotate scapula)

Agonist

-Prime mover


-muscle that produces desired motion

Antagonist

-muscle that opposes the action of the agonist

Stabilizers or fixators

-muscle which anchors, stabilizes and supports a bone or body segment to allow contraction, more distal, muscles

Reverse action

-eccentric contractions with the distal segment stabilized


-anterior tibialis at heel strike and glut max at mid stance walking

Muscle synergy

-helping: 2 muscles with common actions, antagonistic (shoulder abduction)


-true: prevention of undesired movement at a joint caused by the contraction of a multi-joint muscle (making fist-extensors and flexors active)

Muscle classification

-agonist


-antagonist


-stabilizers


-synergists (helping and true)

Contractile components

-actin


-myosin

Parallel elastic components

-connective tissue: epimysium, perimysium, endomysium

Series elastic components

-connective tissues within the tendon

Length-tension relationship

-optimal force at 10% beyond the resting muscle length


-ascending curve: active


-descending: passive/eccentric and strong passive created force



Force velocity relationship

-increase load decrease speed of contraction


-Isometric: can't contract because load is too much


-eccentric: velocity increases as load increases

Insufficiency

-Active: inability of a 2 joint muscle to perform concentric contraction over one joint when it is shortened over another (flexion of fingers and wrist)


-Passive: Inability of a 2 joint muscle to lengthen over one joint when it is already lengthened over a joint (hamstrings limiting full hip flexion and knee extension)
