Articulating Bones of the Knee |
Femoropatellar: Patella and Femur Tibiofemoral: lateral femur and tibia, medial femur and tibia |
|
Anatomical Characteristics of the knee |
meniscus; joint cavity is partially enclosed by a capsule; Synovial cavity has complicated shape; many bursae exist |
|
Movements allowed by t he knee |
tibiofemoral: primarily hinge, some rotation (Flexion, Extension, some rotation during flexion and extension) Femoropatellar: Plate (Patella glides over distal end of femur during flexion) |
|
Joint Stability of the knee |
Capsular and extracapsular ligaments prevent hyperextension; Cruciate ligaments prevent anterior-posterior displacement Knee capsule is reinforced by muscle tendons |
|
Glenohumeral Joint |
Shoulder |
|
Articulating Bones of the Shoulder |
Humerus and scapula |
|
Anatomical Characteristics of the shoulder |
articular capsule is thin and loose; Ball and socket joint Labrum helps support humerus into glenoid fossa |
|
Movements allowed by the shoulder |
most freely moveable joint in the body; multiaxial: flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, Rotation, Circumduction |
|
Joint Stability of the Shoulder |
Anterior ligaments reinforce shoulder; Muscle tendons contribute most to stability: Biceps Tendon (long head)=superstabilizer Rotator Cuff Tendons: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor |
|
Articulating Bones of the elbow |
Primarily Humerus and Ulna; Radius also articulates with humerus but does not contribute to hinge: Radius rotates over ulna allowing supination and pronation |
|
Anatomical Characteristics of the Elbow |
Close Grip of Trochlea (Humerus) and Trochlear Notch (Ulna); Thin articular capsule; Capsular ligaments prevent side to side movement |
|
Movements allowed by the elbow |
Flexion and extension only; Stable operating hinge joint |
|
Joint stability of elbow |
Great bone-bone interaction; Ulnar and Radial collateral ligaments prevent side to side movements; Tendons of arm muscles provide security: Biceps Brachii and Triceps Brachii |
|
Articulating Bones of Hip |
Femur and Hip bone |
|
Anatomical Characteristics of Hip |
Socket is enhanced with acetabular labrum; Thick articular capsule completely encloses the joint; Strong ligaments reinforce the capsule; Ligament of the head of the femur holds head of femur into acetabulum |
|
Movement allowed by the Hip |
Good range of motion, but less than shoulder; Multiaxial: Flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction |
|
Joint stability of the Hip |
Strong ligaments and deep socket limit motion; ligaments surrounding the capsule "screw" the femur head into the acetabulum while standing; Muscle tendons and bulky hip and thigh muscles stabilize and add strength |
