Types Of Joints | Synarthrodial Amphiarthrodial Diarthrodial |
Synarthrodial Joint | Essentially no movement and has fibrous sutures; sutures of skull |
Amphiarthrosis Joint | Small amount of movement and is cartilaginous; symphysis pubis, intervertebral discs |
Diarthrodial Joint | Freely moveable joint and has joint; articular cartilage gets nutrients from synovial fluid; 2 articular bones; has joint cavity; Example: Hip,knee,shoulder,elbow |
Uniaxial Joint | One Axis; 1DF; Hinge for flex/ext;elbow and knee; Pivot for rotation in transverse plane; Axis C1 & C2, proximal radial/ulna jt |
Biaxial Joint | Two Axis; 2DF; Condyloid flex/ext (Wrist) allows some abd/add (MP jts) radia/ulnar dev; Saddle joint concave surface meeting metacarpal of thumb flex/ext;abd/add ex. Thumb CMC |
Triaxial Joint | multiaxial joint; 3DF motion occurs in all three axes; joint allows more motion; the ball and socket joint; 3 degrees of freedom; hip/shoulder IR/ER/flex/ext/add/abd |
Saggital Plane | Passes through the body from front to back and divides the body into right and left parts. Motions of this plane are flexion and extension. Axis Frontal |
Frontal (coronal) Plane | Passes through body from side to side and divides the body into front and back parts. Motions of this plane are abd/add, radial/ulnar deviation, and eversion/inversion. |
Transverse (horizontal plane)Plane | Passes through the body horizontally and divides the body into top and bottom parts. Motionsin this plane are medial/lateral rotation, supination/pronation, right/left rotation, and horizontal abd/ad. Axis Vertical/Longitundinal |
Saggital Axis | runs through a joint from front to back. This is on the frontal plane. |
Frontal Axis | runs through a joint from side to side. This is on the saggital plane. |
Vertical/Longitudinal Axis | The point that runs through a joint from top to bottom. This is on the transverse plane. |
Joint Movement | The axis is always perpendicular to the plane. Occurs in a plane and around an axis. |
One Degree of Freedom | Uniaxial Joint; Motion around one plane and one axis; Elbow Joint (saggital plane) |
Two Degrees of Freedom | Biaxial Joints; Motion around two planes; Wrist (sagittal and frontal planes) |
Three Degrees of Freedom | Triaxial Joints; Hip joint moves in all 3 planes. |
Lever | Rigid bar that can rotate about a fixed when point when a force is applied to overcome resistance. |
Axis | a fixed point at which movement of a lever occurs. |
Force | in the human body, this is usually muscular. |
Resistance | in human motion, this includes the force opposing the movement of the lever. |
Open Kinetic Chain | Distal segment moves freely; Example: 15 knee kicks, running, cybex, free weights |
Closed Kinetic Chain | Distal segment moves fixed; Example: push ups, lunges, squats, crutch walking, pushing a wheelchair, bench press, stair stepper |
Osteokinematics | Movement of the bone. This can be measured. Example: Flexion at the shoulder. |
Arthorkinematics | Movement of the joint. This cannot be measured. This is usually found between joints. |
Accessory(Ancillary)Motion | Normal inherent movement of a joint that cannot be reproduced voluntarily. It gives rise to 3D of freedom. Ex. You cannot physically rotate the knee on your own, the tibia has to rotate. |
Rolling | This is where different parts of one bone touches different points of another. Occur for normal joint function. Ex. A ball rolling across the floor. |
Gliding (Sliding) | Same point of one bone touches different points on another. |
Spinning | Motion that occurs along the longitudinal axis of a bone. |
Rule of Convex on Concave | When a convex bone moves on a concave bone you will get rolling and gliding in the opposite directions[(Humerus(convex)/glenoid(concave)]. |
Closed Pack Position | The position is locked in. Maximum tension and maximum congruence of joint surfaces. End of Range. |
Open (Loose) Pack Position | The position has increased joint play, decreased congruency and joint capsule is on slack. The ligaments are not taut. |

Multipennate Muscles | many tendons with oblique fibers. Example: deltoid and subscapularis |
Active Insufficiency | When a muscle reaches a point it cannot shorten any further. Refers to the agonist (the muscle that is contracting) |
Passive Insufficiency | When a muscle reaches a point it cannot be elongated any more without damage to the muscle fibers. Example: You cannot touch toes. Refers to the antagonist |
Types of Muscle Contraction | Isometric Isotonic Isokinetic |
Isometric | means same length, muscle contraction without joint motion; no change in muscle length |
Isotonic | muscle contraction with joint angle changes; change in muscle length. Example: Flexing and extending the knee. |
Concentric contraction | isotonic contraction causing the muscle to shorten and the muscle attachments to move closer together. Moves against gravity. |
Eccentric contraction | isotonic contraction causing the muscle to lenghten and the muscle attachments to move farther apart. Moves with gravity. |
Isokinetic | muscle contraction at a fixed velocity (speed) of movement with accommodating resistance. Must have machine. |
Agonist (Prime Mover) | A muscle or muscle group that causes the motion. In elbow flexion the agonist is the biceps muscle. |
Antagonist | a muscle that performs the opposite motion of the agonist. This works against agonist.In elbow flextion the antagonist is the triceps muscle. |
Cocontraction | when the agonist and the antagonist muscles work at the same time. Occurs when there is a need for accuracy. When a person learns a new task. Example: tight rope walking |
Stabilizer (fixator) | a muscle or muscle group that supports a part, or makes firm, a part that allows the agonist to work more efficiently. Example: Abdominal muscles act to keep the trunk straight, while the arms move the trunk up and down. |
Synergist | A muscle or muscle group that assists/works with another muscle to enhance a particular motion. |
Neutralizer | A muscle or muscle group that contracts to prevent unwanted motion. Example: Pronater teres resist when only want flexion. |
First class lever | axis between(A)is located between the force (F) and the resistance (R). Example: Playground seasaw, step up and step down Quad (F) and Weight (R)and (A) knee axis |
Second class lever | axis (A) at one end, resistance (R)in the middle (R), and the force (F)at the other end. Example: ball of foot (A) and weight(R), insertion of achilles (F) Example: Letting a weight down in your hand |
Third class lever | axis (A) at one end, force (F)in middle, and the resistance (R) at the other end. Example: Lifting a weight up your hand Elbow (A), biceps (F), weight (R) |
Intrafusal fibers | Sensory Fiber. That detect the amount and rate of change of length in a muscle;detect stretch in the muscle spindle. Once the muscle has contracted the spindle stops sending the message, no longer feeling the stretch. |
Extrafusal fibers | Motor Fiber. Skeletal muscle fibers that surround the intrafusal fibers. Contain actin and myosin for contraction. Innervated by efferent motor neurons. Generate tension by contracting, thereby allowing for skeletal movement. |
Basal Ganglia | the grey matter in the cerebrum. Initiates learned movement. No conscious thought needed. Control rhythmic movement, i.e. golf swing |
Cerebellum | modulates motor activity,does not initiate movement. controls equilibrium, has the ability to make adjustment to correct errors. |
Sensory Neuron (Afferent) | dendrite brings messages to the cell body. Is always on the posterior side. Messages travel into the posterior horn. Conducts toward. |
Motor Neuron (Efferent) | has a multipolar cell body and has many dendrites to receive info. Located on the anterior horn. Conducts away. |
Muscle Spindle | Specialized fibers that contract to prevent overstretching. Triggers the stretch reflex. |
