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.
