Q

Joint DF

A

Each translation at a certain moment can be described as three relative perpendicular translations
Each rotation at a certain moment can be described as three relative perpendicular rotations
3D can have 6 DF
2D can have 3DF

33
Q

Define DF

A

the number of relative movements, independent of each other that a body has

34
Q

Osteokinematics

A

Gross movements of bones at joints
Flexion/Extension
Abduction/Adduction
Internal rotation/External rotation

35
Q

Arthrokinematics

A

Small amplitude motions of bones at joint surfaces
Roll
Glide (or slide)
Spin

36
Q

Osterokinematics describes the

A

movements that occur around a center of rotation (joint axis)
Joint axis is a fixed point

37
Q

Arthrokinematics describes the

A

normal joint surface movement is necessary to ensure long term joint integrity - the joint surface movements are joint play motions or component motions

38
Q

Rules of concavity and convexity

A

Movements at joint surfaces (arthro) follow the rules of concavity and convexity
Each joint or articulation involves two bony surfaces, one that is convex and one that is concave

39
Q

When concave surface is fixed

A

the convex surface moves on it, the convex surface rolls and glides in opposite directions

40
Q

When convex surface is fixed

A

the concave surface moves on it, the concave surface rolls and glides in the same direction

41
Q

Center of rotation

A

Moving center of rotation
Location of axis is not constant
Result of glide and roll combination

42
Q

44
Q

Equation for open kinetic chain

A

DF = ((i-0) * 6) - O

45
Q

A
Max congruency
Tissue tension
No distraction
Higher congruency = harder to move the joint

46
Q
