blank

bone mineral density graph. points on graph are puberty peak and menopause. when born, some bone mineral density, start out low. itll grow rapidly until you hit puberty at around 14. between 28 and 32 we are still getting bone mass, but not as rapid. then lose bone mass gradually until about 55 (menopause). for women, start to list it more rapidly. men: men have greater bone density through out life, and around 55, lose bone mineral density less rapidly than women

Standard Model for Female Athlete Triad

Eating disorder leads to: Amenorrhea and osteoporosis

The "real" female athelte triad

Articulations

structure and function of joints are so interrelated that it is difficult to discuss them separately. the configuration of the bones that form an articulation, together with the reinforcing ligaments, determine and limit the movements of the joint. generally, stability and range of motion are inversely related. a joint that doesnt move much is stable, a joint that moves a lot is not sstable

Based on presence or absence of a joint cavity

Structural classifications of joints. Synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, or diathrosis

Synathrosis

no articular cavity, no capsule, synovial membrane or synovial fluid.


Sutures: connected by fibers that are continuous with the periosteum. no movement permitted. the skull is the only example in the body.


Syndesmoses: connected by fibrous tissue, permitting very little movement.


coracoacromial joint: between coracoid and acromion process on scapula


tibiofibular joints

Amphiarthrosis

permit more motion than syndesmoses. still no articular cavity, no capsule, synovial membrane or synovial fluid.


-synchondroses (cartilage): articulating bones are held together by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage


-sternocostal


-epiphyseal plates in children


-symphyses: fibrocartialge is present between the articulating bones


-intervertebral joints


- pubic syphysis

Diarthrosis

Freely movable joint. articular cavity that contains synovial fluid, ligamentous capsule, synovial membrane surfaces are smooth. surfaces are covered with hyaline cartialge (knee).

Types of Diarthrotic Joints

1. uniaxial: gliding, pivot, hinge. 2.Biaxial: condyloid, saddle. 3. Triaxial: ball and socket, bicondyloid

Articular surfaces are flat planes. short gliding movements are allowed. Example: intertarsal and intercarpal joints. movements are non axial

gliding joints

cylindrical end of one bone fits into a trough on anoher bone. angular movement is allowed in one plane. example: elbow,ankle, and joints between phalanges of fingers and toes. movement is uniaxial.

hinge joint

classified as uniaxial, rotating bone only turns around its long axis. examples: proximal radioulnar joint (supination pronation), joint between atlas and axis of spine (1st and 2nd vertebrae)( shaking head no)

pivot joint

convex surface articulates with concave surface. allow moving bone to travel: side to side-abduction,adduction. back and forth(flexion-extension). circumduction. biaxial movement. example: metacarpalphalangeal, wrist joints

Condyloid joints

similar to condyloid joint, butmore bone mass is cut away,so joint has more range of motion. each articular surface has concave and convex surfaces. classified as biaxial joints. first carpometacarpal (thumb)

saddle joints

spherical head of one bone fits into round socket of another. triaxial. shoulder and hip joints

ball and socket

Two convex and two concave surfaces. more range of motion than a typical hinge or conyloid joint. about 8 degree of rotation and 8 degree of absuction/adduction occur when you walk. KNEE JOINT

bicondyloid joint

Most abundant type of cartilage. provides support via flexibility and resilience

hyaline cartilage

able to tolerate repeated bending. outer ear. epiglottis. tip of nose

elastic cartilage

very strong in resisting tension and compression.annulus fibrosus (intervertebral discs). example: menisci of knee, interveterabral discs, TMJ, and pubic symphysis

Fibrocartilage (shock absorption)

comprised of hyaline cartilage. consists of chondrocytes embedded in a matrix of collagen and other proteins. chondrocytes maintain and restore cartilage from wear, although this ability decreases with age, disease and injury

articular cartilage

Function of articular cartilage

distributes load over a wide area to reduce stress on tissues. reduces it more than 50%. allows movement at joints with minimal friction and tear (lubricates joints so that friction is less than half of skate on ice). acts like a sponge to soak up and release or disperse synovial fluid

Why can I crack my knuckles?

nitrogen is within synovial fluid. low pressure on joint results in nitrigen gas coming out of the fluid. the little nitrogen gas bubbles joint together into one big bubble. when you crack your knuckles, you are bursting that bubble. cracking is following by decreased pain and increased range of motion of the joint. will not be able to crack knuckles again until nitrogen escapes from synovial fluid again, usualy 25-30 minuts


the ability of a joint to resist abnormal displacement of the articulating bones.

joint stability

joint orientation where contact between articulating surfaces is at a maximuum (most stable position)

close packed position

any orientation other than the close-packed position

loose packed position

Factors contributing to joint stability

bony structure:more contact area, more stable. ligaments:tighter ligaments, more stable. muscle tone/tension:more muscle tone, more stable. fascia.atmospheric pressure

Shape of bony structure

may refer to type of joint (hinge, condyloid, or ball and socket). or specific characteristics of a joint (depth of joint socket (shoulder vs hip)), generally the more aritculating surfaces are in contact with one another, the more stable the joint

Role of ligaments in joint stability

ligaments are strong, flexible, stress resistant, somehwat elastic, fibrous tissues that form bands or cords around a joint. help mainting relationship of bones.check movement at normal limits of joint.resist movements for which joint is not designed.will stretch when subject to prolonged stress.once stretched, their function is affected. medical intervention is needed to shorten them again

Role of musscles in joint stability

muscle force can help stabilize or destabilize joint, depending on joint posistion. typically muscles stabilize the joint, but in some positions they can dislocate a joint

Role of muscles in joint stablility

muscles are also particularly helpful in stabilizing joint when bony strucure contributes little to stability

Role of fascia in joint stabilization

fascia consists of fibrous connective tissue.may form thin membranes or tough fibrous sheets. intense or prolonged stress may cause premanent stretch. iliotibial tract is an example

atomspheric pressure

atmospheritc pressure pushes on the outside of the joint with a greater force that the outward pushing force within the joint cavity. low pressure system, joints expand and you can feel when its going to rain

Knee stability

the knee is very unstable in terms of its design. the contact of articulating surfaces is minimal, resulting in relatively large range of motion. the knee is dependent on ligaments and tendons for stability. injuries to these soft tissues are common

factors influencing joint range of motion

three primary factors affect stability of a joint are also related to range of motion. 1. shape/contact area of articular surfaces.2. restraining effect of ligaments. 3. muscles and tendons. additional factors include: gender, body build, heredity, occupation, exercise, and age

measuring joint range of motion

measure degrees from starting position or anatomical position to its max movement. goniometer: axis place directly over center of joint, one arm held stationary, other arm held to moving segment. film, video, or digital image recording: joint centers are marked to be visible in projected image. joint angles can be taken from images. segment action must occur in picture plane

Flexibility and injury

risk of injury is heightened when joint flexibility if extremely high or extremely low. desirable amount of flexibility is very dependent on the activity. the decreased flexibility with aging is primarily related to decreased physical activity
