Questions and Answers

Joint movement such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, or rotation is referred to as ________.

osteokinematic motion

This type of motion is done under voluntary control.

osteokinematic

________ is commonly thought of as one bone moving on another, causing such motions as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, or rotation.

Study Notes

Osteokinematic Motion

  • Joint movements include flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation.
  • Osteokinematic motion is voluntary and controlled by muscles.

Joint Movement

  • Defined as one bone moving relative to another, resulting in various motions.

Types of Motion

  • AROM (Active Range of Motion): Movements initiated by muscle contraction.
  • PROM (Passive Range of Motion): Movements achieved through external force without muscle effort.
  • ROM (Range of Motion): Assessed during passive joint movement to maintain or restore mobility.

End Feel

  • Describes the resistance felt at the end of a joint's range of motion.
  • Types of end feel: Normal (restricted by expected anatomical structures) and Abnormal (restricted by pain, muscle guarding, or swelling).

Normal End Feel Types

  • Soft: Occurs when muscle bulk compresses (e.g., elbow flexion).
  • Firm: Results from tension in tissues (most common type).
  • Hard: Characterized by resistance when bone contacts bone (e.g., elbow extension).

Abnormal End Feel Types

  • Boggy: Soft feel due to edema, often seen in acute conditions (e.g., after a sprained ankle).
  • Muscle Spasm: Protective reflex causing guarding during movement.
  • Empty: Pain prevents movement; clinician can't assess full motion limits.
  • Springy Block: Rebound sensation at the end of ROM, indicating internal joint derangement.

Arthrokinematic Motion

  • Refers to how adjacent joint surfaces move during joint movement.
  • Consists of small movements accompanying osteokinematic motion.

Types of Arthrokinematic Motion

  • Component Movements: Necessary for osteokinematic motion, cannot occur independently.
  • Joint Play: Arthrokinematic movement facilitated by external forces creating passive motion.

Joint Mobilization Techniques

  • Involves applying external forces to enhance joint mobility and decrease pain.
  • Forces used include traction, compression, and shearing to facilitate movement.

Forces in Joint Dynamics

  • Traction: Pulling surfaces apart, assisting mobility (e.g., hanging from a bar).
  • Compression: Pushing surfaces together, enhancing stability (e.g., push-ups).
  • Shearing: Causes gliding motion between joint surfaces.

Joint Surface Shapes

  • Joints are classified as either ovoid (convex-concave relationship) or sellar (saddle-shaped, concave in one direction and convex in another).
  • Surface shape influences joint motion characteristics.

Arthrokinematic Actions

  • Roll: Surface rolling over another (e.g., a ball rolling).
  • Glide: Linear movement across another surface (e.g., an ice skate).
  • Spin: Rotational motion around a fixed point (e.g., top spinning on a table).

Rolling and Gliding

  • Roll and glide must work together for effective motion and alignment in joints, such as in the knee.

Accessory Motion

  • Bending and rotary (torsional) represent complex combinations of forces acting on joints.

Significance in Kinesiology

  • Understanding these movements and forces is essential for rehabilitative practices and therapeutic techniques in kinesiology.
