Study Notes
Joint Movements
- Osteokinematic terms describe the gross movements of bones at joints.
- The term for the gross movements of bones at joints is osteokinesis.
- Arthrokinesis describes the small amplitude motions of bones at joint surfaces.
- The specific movements of joint surfaces are described by arthrokinematics.
- To ensure long-term joint integrity, proper joint alignment, muscle balance, and controlled joint mobility are necessary.
- Rotational movement occurs around a center of rotation in osteokinematics.
