Study Notes
Elbow Joint Movement
- When localizing movement to the elbow joint, the forearm is in a neutral position, parallel to the coronal plane.
- The hand grasping above the elbow during movement helps to stabilize the arm and isolate the movement to the elbow joint.
Natural Arm Movement
- The recommended approach for natural movements of the arm as a whole involves allowing the shoulder to rotate and the scapula to move freely.
- This approach ensures a smooth and coordinated movement of the entire arm.
Elbow Joint Extension
- When ensuring full extension at the elbow joint, consider the alignment of the arm and the movement of the forearm.
- Avoid any restrictions or obstacles that may prevent full extension, such as muscle tension or external resistance.
