are freely movable joints. -Ball and socket joints (synovial joints) are located in the shoulder and hip. They are made up a bone with a spherical head attached to a bone with a cup-like socket. This joint allows the most movement. (abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, and circumduction) -The elbow joint is a hinge joint that consists of the end of the ulna and radius and the end of the humerus. It allows flexion and extension movements and can only extend approximately 180 degrees.…

Developing the practical skills of observing a child in detail and successfully interpreting your observation results is critical to the Occupational Therapy practice. The aim of the video observation assignment is to identify a child’s gross and fine motor abilities, visual perception, social skills, language, and play habits to determine the child’s strength and weaknesses through effective interpreted perceptions. To provide some background information to illustrate the context of the video,…
com/image_skel07/skel32.html Condyloid joint: A condyloid joint (also called condylar, ellipsoidal, or bicondylar) is an ovoid articular surface, or condyle that is received into an elliptical cavity. This permits movement in two planes, allowing flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction Saddle joint: A saddle joint is a synovial joint where one of the bones forming the joint is shaped like a saddle with the other bone resting on it like a rider on a horse. Saddle joints…
The patient may display obvious external signs such as periorbital ecchymosis, subconjunctival haemorrhage and enophthalmos (emedicine). Enophthalmos occurs due to a rise in the volume of the orbit thereby leading to the backwards displacement of the globe into the orbit. However, if the injury occurred very recently, the enophthalmos could potentially be masked by orbital edema and as the swelling subsides, it will become more visible (Aao, 2015). It is important to keep in mind that as a…

To diagnose Skewfoot or Serpentine Foot, AP and lateral standing x-rays of the foot are done. In this condition, the AP view will show a mixture of abduction of midtarsal joints along with adduction of metatarsals giving the foot a Z type configuration. The lateral view will show plantar flexion of talus confirming the diagnosis of Skewfoot or Serpentine…

Clubfoot or Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is one of the most commonl congenital pediatric foot deformity with an incidence of 1 in 1000 live births [1, 2]. equinus at ankle, hindfoot varus, forefoot adduction, and midfoot cavus are the four components [3–6]. Historically, Hippocrates,introduced conservative management in around 400 BC [10, 11]. Later, Kite introduced a method [12] in 1993, which included manipulation and casting technique, but the success rate was poor [7, 8, 13].…
Hypothesis After analyzing the shoe wear patterns above, our team of forensic Pedorthists have gained valuable insight regarding the shoe-owner’s unique (abnormal) gait. Our leading theory describes gait mechanics that feature abnormalities including: severe overpronation and a low-gear toe off bilaterally. The shoes have clearly been used for for too long, possibly on hard, rough surfaces, as the forefoot and heel are starting to wear past the midsole, exposing deeper layers. Evidence 1)…
