Three types of Synovial Movements |
Gliding; Angular (Flexion, Extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, circumduction); Rotation (medial and lateral rotation) |
|
Gliding Movements |
One flatbone surface glides or slips over another similar surface |
|
Angular Movements |
Increase or decrease angle between two bones; |
|
Movement along sagittal plane |
Flexion and Extension |
|
Flexion |
Decreases the angle of the joint |
|
Extension |
Increases the angle of the joint |
|
Hyperextension |
Excessive extension beyond normal range of motion |
|
Movement along the frontal plane |
abduction and Adduction |
|
Abduction |
movement away from the midline |
|
adduction |
movement toward the midline |
|
Circumduction |
Involves flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction of a limb; Limb makes a circle |
|
Rotation |
turning of bone around its own long axis |
|
The six types of synovial joints |
Plane, Hinge, Pivot, Condylar, Saddle, Ball and Socket
|
|
Plane Joint |
Gliding; Intercarpal Joints, Intertarsal Joints, Joints between vertebral articular surfaces |
|
Hinge Joint |
Flexion and Extension; elbow joint; interphalangeal joints |
|
Pivot Joint |
Rotation; Proximal Radioulnar Joints; Atlantoaxial Joint |
|
Condylar Joint |
Flexion and Extension; Adduction and Abduction; Metacarpophalangeal (knucke) and wrist |
|
Saddle Joint |
Adduction, Abduction, Flexion and Extension; carpometacarpal joints of thumbs |
|
Ball and Socket Joint |
Shoulder Joint and Hip Joint; Flexion and extension; adduction and abduction; rotation |
|
Explain supination vs pronation |
In supination the radius and ulna are parallel facing forward. In pronation the radius rotates over the ulna. And the palm faces backward |
|
Explain dorsiflexion vs plantar flexion |
In dorsiflexion the toes move toward the shin (Point up). In plantar flexion the toes move toward the calf (point down). |
|
Explain inversion vs eversion |
In inversion the foot rotates toward the midline. In eversion the foot rotates away from the midline. |
|
Explain protraction, retraction, elevation, and depression |
In protraction the jaw forward, in retraction the jaw moves backward, In elevation the jaw raises, in depression the lower jaw presses downward. |
|
Explain Opposition vs Reposition |
In Opposition the thumb comes into contact with the fingers of the hand. In reposition it returns to its spot next the index finger. |
