arthrokinematics
•
The term is used to refer movement of joint surfaces
•
Usually one of the joint is stable than other and serves as the base for
the motion, whereas the other surface moves on this relatively fixed
base
•
Usually three types of movements occur at the joint surfaces:
•
Rolling
•
Sliding
•
spinning
•
Rolling-
it refers to the rolling of one joint surface on another, as a tire
rolling on the road. Example: in the knee, the femoral condyles roll on the
fixed tibial surface
•
Sliding-
it is a pure translatory motion refers to the gliding of one
component over the other as a braked wheel skits. Example: in hand, the
proximal phalanx slides over the fixed end of the metacarpal
•
Spin-
it refers to a pure rotatory motion. It refers to rotation of the
movable component, as when a top spins. Example: at the elbow, head of
the radius spins on the capitulum of the humerus during supination and
pronation of the forearm
The types of motion that occurs at a particular joint
depends upon the shape of articular surface and most joint is either ovoid or
sellar type.
Ovoid joint-
here one surface is concave while other is convex
Sellar joint-
here each articulating surface is both convex and concave
•
When a convex surface moves on a concave surface, sliding of convex
surface occurs in opposite direction while in same direction in case
when concave surface slides.
•
Sliding is an essential component of joint motion because a bone
cannot be expected to move without sliding of articular surface in
appropriate direction.
•
Joint motions are commonly produced as a result of combination of
all three movements.
osteokinematics
•
It refers to the movement of the bones rather than the movement of
the articular surfaces
•
The amount of motion possible at a joint is referred as anatomical or
physiological range of motion because it is within the limit of
anatomical structure of the joint.
•
The extent of anatomic range is determined by several factors such as
shape of joint surfaces, the joint capsule, ligaments, muscle bulk
surrounding musculotendinous and bony structures
•
In some joints there are limitations of range of motion by soft tissue
for example knee joints other joints have both bony as well as soft
tissue limitations such as humero-ulnar joint of elbow in extension.
•
A range of motion is considered pathological when joint motion
either exceeds or fails to reach the normal anatomical limit
•
When the range of motion exceeds the normal limit the joint is called
hypermobile.
•
It may be due to failure of either bony or soft tissue structures to limit
the motion results in instability.
•
When the range of motion is less than the normal limit the joint is
called hypomobile.
•
It may be due to bony or cartilaginous block, inability at the capsule,
ligament or muscles to elongate sufficiently to allow a normal range
of motion
Joint motions involve rolling, sliding, and spinning of joint surfaces, with one surface serving as the fixed base for motion. Arthrokinematics explains the movement of joint surfaces, while osteokinematics focuses on bone movements within anatomical range of motion. The types of joint motions depend on the shape of articulating surfaces, categorized as ovoid or sellar joints. Limitations to joint motion can arise from soft tissues or bony structures. Understanding these concepts is crucial for assessing and optimizing human movement.
