Ginglymus | Hinge Joint - monoaxial joints -- flexion and extension -- ex/ elbow |
Trochoid | Pivot joint - monoaxial along the longtitudinal axis -- supination and pronation -- ex radius and ulna |
Condyloid | Ellipsoid - biaxial -- Flexion extension abduction adduction -- ex wrist |
Solaris | Saddle - biaxial -- Flexion extension abduction adduction circumduction -- thumb only |
Spheroid | Ball & Socket - triaxial -- Flexion extension abduction adduction Circumduction -- ex shoulder or hip |
Flexion | Decreases the angle between bones -- ex bending at the knee |
dorsalflexion | flexion of the foot |
Extension | Increases the angle between the bones -- ex straightening you leg |
Hyperextension | Extension beyond normal flexion -- unhealthy |
plantarflexion | extension of the foot |
ABduction | movement away from the central axis of movement |
ADduction | movement toward to central axis |
Rotation | movement around an axis -- medial = toward midline -- lateral = away from midline |
Supination | forearm movement that places the forearm in anatomical position |
Pronation | forearm movement that puts forearm in the more common position -- aka typing position |
Eversion | FOOT ONLY -- movement of sole of foot outward |
Inversion | FOOT ONLY -- movement of sole of foot inward or medial |
Protraction | forward movement |
Retraction | backward movement |
Elevation | Upward movement |
Depression | Downward movement |
Circumduction | movement that includes flexion + Extension + ADduction + ABduction + Rotation |
a place for me to write and store information and notes I've collected and taken from classes that pertain the nursing field but as the title might suggest I have some intriguing interests
