Interfibrillar component of extracellular matrix

ground substance-occupies space between collagen (shock absorber)



hydrophillic



made up of proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)

Collagen

has strong tensile strength; can stretch and resist a long way; most abundant protein in the human body; helps muscle to not fail under normal tensile strength

Fibrous component of extracellular matrix

-Composted of collagen and elastin


-12 types of collagen in the body

Stress-Strain concept

-tension, compression, or shearing


-stress-load applied to material


-strain-deformation of change in material; can be reversible or permanent

Ligament

connects bone to bone; composed of primarily one type of collagen; arrangement of collagen is in different directions

Tendon

connects muscle to bone; composed of one type of collagen; parallel fibers;


osteotendinous junction - where the tendon attaches to the bone; mineralization similar to that of the bone


myotendinous junction - composed of 2 different tissues; joining area between is weaker (area of gradual change)


Tendon Unit

-Paratenon-outer capsule/sheath of tendon(creates nice place for tendon to slide along bone via tenosynovium-lubrication for the tendon)


-Epitenon-sheath that encloses individual tendon units


-Endotenon-groups of tendon fibers


-Fascicle->fibril->microfibril


**may also see paratenon and epitendon called the peritendon (outer sheath that encloses the inner parts)


Bursae

*Provides cushion between structures that are approximated


*synovial fluid/membrane

Types of Muscle Contractions

*Concentric - shortening


*Eccentric - lengthening (most difficult; ex:going down stairs)


*Isometric - does not change length (ex:putting hands together, palms facing, and push)


*Isotonic - series of concentric and eccentric (typical weight lifting contraction)


Synarthritic Joints

*Bones are connected with either fibrous or cartilaginous tissue (non-synovial)


*Fibrous


-sutures (in head)


-gomphoses (teeth)


-syndesmoses (interosseous ligement; ex: middle of tibia and fibula)


*Cartilaginous


-symphyses (bones brought together with articular cartilage (pubic symphyses)


-synchondroses (costal cartilage)



Diarthritic Joints

-Articular cartilage is covered with joint capsule (synovial)


-Often contain structures that increase stability, absorb shock, or facilitate motion


-Synovial fluid


-Types - based on number of axes and planes in which motion can occur


*uniaxial - 2 motions/1 plane


*biaxial - 4 motions/2 plane


*triaxial - 6 motions/3 plane

Uniaxial

*hinge (elbow joint, knee, phalanges)



*pivot (C1-C2 joint, proximal radioulnar joint)



*1 plane/2 motions

Biaxial

*Condyloid (metacarpal joints or MCP joints)



*Saddle (Carpometacarpal joint of thumb or CMC joint)



*2 planes/4 motions


Triaxial

*Plane (carpal bones; joints slide and glide along each other)



*Ball and socket



*3 planes/6 motions

Osteokinematic Movement

occurs between two bones (one joint) and is visible to the observing eye


**what is measured with goniometer

Arthrokinematic Movement (accessory motion)

movement that occurs between joint surfaces that is not typically visible to the eye



-Roll


-Slide/glide


-Spin


**convex/concave rule**

Kinetic Chain

**Describes movement that occurs at different joints in a series


*Upper kinetic chain: shoulder, elbow, wrist


*Lower kinetic chain: hip, knee, foot


-Open-proximal end is fixed


-Closed-distal end is fixed (walking, weight bearing)



Convex/Concave Rule

1. Concave surface moving on a convex surface, roll and glide occur in the same direction



2. Convex surface moves on a concave surface, roll and glide occur in the opposite direction

Closed packed joint position

joint surfaces are most congruent with one another and the joint is most stable

Open packed joint position

joint surfaces are least congruent and the joint is most mobile

Range Of Motion

amount of motion available at a specific joint

Functional ROM

*motion necessary to complete a task/ADL


-cervical rotation necessary to turn head to drive


-shoulder elevation necessary to reach into cabinet


-hip flexion necessary to sit in a chair


Goniometry

*the measurement of joint ROM


-Purpose: to track patient progress, write goals and plan of care, and compare to norms

Indications

*what you're doing


-when an objective data is needed


-to assess progress toward goals


-if a patient can maintain position to complete measurement

Contraindications

*beware of what you're doing and the position


-very old or very young


-difficulty holding position to obtain measurement


-when limitations at other joints prohibits accurate measurement (ex:muscle tightness)


-post-operative movement precautions


-incision or wound that could open


-suspect hypermobility, subluxation, dislocation


-myositis occificans or heterotrophic ossification (bone growth where you shouldn't have it; mostly middle of muscle)

Precautions

*Osteoporosis or other pathology that causes brittle joints


-hypermobility


-hemophilia (bleeding into joint; chronic & congenital disorder)


-ankylosing joints (affects spine oftenly, joint line becomes hard)


-post injury - edema, tissue rupture


-recently healed fracture


-after prolonged immobilization


-be mindful of muscle tightness vs. joint restriction


*Age and Gender


-children and women tend to be more hypermobile

Goniometric Principles and Techniques

*Typically measured through a 180 deg arch of motion with anatomical position referenced as zero/neutral

ROM Concepts

Active Range of Motion (AROM)-movement of joint segment without assistance from another body part, object, or person



Passive Range of Motion (PROM)-movement completed by an external source (ex:therapist, machine, etc.)



Active Assistive Range of Motion (AAROM)-movement completed by the patient with assistance from an external source

Other Goniometric Terms

-Accessory motion (happens at jointline itself)


-Joint play - free motion that occurs at a joint when the joint is relaxed


-Joint mobilization - an active or passive attempt to increase the available joint ROM

Measurement Precautions

-proper patient position


-stabilize body segments to prevent substitution


-Don't read the wrong side of the body of the goniometer!!


-Always use the same technique for same joint on same patient


-Don't read a higher measurement than is actually there

Normal Joint End Feels

*Soft - approximation of two soft tissue structures (elbow flexion)



*Firm - springy sensation when contractile tissue is put on stretch (hip flexion, hamstring gets tight)



*Hard - abrupt stop to motion because of boney approximation (elbow extension

Pathological End Feels

a) Soft - boggy, thick sensation in a joint (indicative of inflammatory process; feels spongy and odd)


b) Firm - springy sensation indicating abnormal soft tissue shortening (abnormally tight muscle)


c) Hard - abrupt stop to motion when rough joint surfaces contact one another (osteoarthritis, osteophytes present, fracture, dislocated joint)


d) Springy block - rebound effect is felt indicating soft tissue derangement (tear or abnormality); very painful (ex: when pt has torn maniscus)


e) Empty - pt's pain causes motion to cease before the true joint end feel is acheived

Capsular & Non-capsular Patterns

* Description of joint motion limitations based on injury or pathology



- capsular pattern - pathology limits all or most joint motion directions (frozen shoulder)



- non-capsular pattern - limitations in motion only occur in one or two directions instead of all directions available at the involved joint

Correct Documentation of Joint ROM Measurements

-need to indicate joint measured


-whether measurement is active, passive, active-assistive


-report based on 0-180 deg system


-note any end feels or capsular patterns present


-indicate if measurement is normal or abnormal

Sliding Filament Theory

How a muscle contraction is produced



Action potential->chemical reaction release Ca2+ions->tripomyosin+triponin open and make actin available->head groups on myosin grab actin and pull it toward->contraction of muscle
