Study Notes
Joint Movement Terminology
- Osteokinematics is the term used to describe the gross movements of bones at joints.
Joint Movement Types
- Arthrokinesis describes the small amplitude motions of bones at joint surfaces.
Synovial Joint Movement
- We use the term kinesiology to describe the movements that occur between bones at synovial joints.
Joint Integration
- Long-term joint integration requires proper joint alignment and muscle balance.
Joint Surface Movements
- The general term for the specific movements of joint surfaces is arthrokinematics.
