Study Notes

Kinematics and Arthrokinematics

Movements include glide/slide (single point on one surface contacts multiple points on another) and spin (single point rotates on another single point).
Convex-Concave Rule:
- Convex surface rolls in the same direction but glides in the opposite direction on a stable concave surface.
- Concave surface rolls and glides in the same direction on a stable convex surface.
- Rolling always matches the bone movement direction.

Types of Tissue

Epithelial Tissue: Covers body surfaces and linings of cavities.
Nervous Tissue: Composed of neurons that transmit signals within the body.
Muscle Tissue:
- Striated (voluntary) muscles move the skeleton.
- Smooth muscle surrounds organs.
Connective Tissue: Binds and supports other tissues; includes bone, blood, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and fibrocartilage.

Connective Tissue Composition

Fibrous Proteins:
- Collagen (Type I and II) provides structure.
- Elastin allows tissue to return to shape after stretching.
Ground Substance: Contains glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and water, forming the extracellular matrix.
Cells: Include fibroblasts (tendons, ligaments), chondrocytes (cartilage), macrophages, and more; involved in maintenance and repair.

Collagen Types

Type I Collagen:
- Thick and strong, found in ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules; low elongation.
Type II Collagen:
- Thinner, with low tensile strength; maintains shape in cartilage and discs.

Mechanical Properties of Connective Tissue

Load and Stress:
- Load refers to any force, while stress is the load per area.
- Types: tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion.
Deformation: Change in shape due to applied force.
Stress-Strain Relationships:
- Stress is force over area; strain is the percentage change in length.
- Stress-Strain Curve includes various regions: toe, elastic, plastic, ultimate failure.

Viscoelasticity

Definition: Materials exhibit both viscous (time-dependent) and elastic (returns to original shape) properties.
Creep: Progressive strain occurs with a constant load over time.
Stress Relaxation: Stress perception decreases over time with constant strain.
Hysteresis: Energy is lost when a material is loaded and unloaded, causing heat dissipation.

Biological Factors

Maturation/Aging:
- Improvement in tissue properties during maturation; decline begins in the 3rd/4th decade of life.
- Hormones (such as relaxin and estrogen) influence tissue stiffness and strength.
Mobilization/Immobilization:
- Movement promotes remodeling; immobilization decreases strength and increases stiffness.

Joint Classifications

Structural: Fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints.
Functional:
- Synarthroses: immovable to slightly movable joints (fibrous/cartilaginous).
- Diarthroses: freely movable synovial joints with seven elements.### Joint Structures
Articular cartilage covers bone surfaces, providing smooth movement within the joint.
The articular capsule encloses the joint, maintaining its integrity and stability.
The synovial membrane lines the internal layer of the capsule, producing synovial fluid for lubrication.
Synovial fluid is a clear, viscous substance that reduces friction and delivers nutrients to the joint.
Ligaments protect the joint by restricting excessive movement and providing stability.
Blood vessels supply nourishment to the joint structures.
Sensory nerves are responsible for proprioception and the sensation of pain within the joint.

Joint Types and Mechanics

Joints constitute a significant part of the musculoskeletal system, classified based on the degrees of freedom:
- Hinge Joints: Uniaxial; examples include interphalangeal and humeroulnar joints.
- Pivot Joints: Uniaxial; examples are the proximal radioulnar and atlanto-axial joints.
- Condyloid Joints: Biaxial; include metacarpophalangeal and tibiofemoral joints.
- Saddle Joints: Biaxial; an example is the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb.
- Ellipsoid Joints: Biaxial; represented by the radiocarpal joint.
- Plane Joints: Triaxial; examples include intercarpal and carpometacarpal joints of fingers.
- Ball & Socket Joints: Triaxial; glenohumeral and coxafemoral joints are prominent examples.

Osteokinematics

Uniaxial Joints:
- Hinge Joints allow movement in one plane.
- Pivot Joints enable rotational movement around a single axis.
Biaxial Joints:
- Condyloid Joints allow movement in two planes.
- Saddle Joints permit movement across two axes.
- Ellipsoid Joints enable two types of angular movement.
Triaxial Joints:
- Plane Joints permit sliding movements in multiple directions.
- Ball & Socket Joints provide a full range of motion in multiple axes.
