Front | Back |
---|---|
What are the four articulations of the shoulder joint? | Sternoclavicular, Acromioclavicular, Glenohumeral and Scapulothoracic |
What type of joint is the elbow? | Hinge |
What ligaments reinforce the elbow? | Ulnar collateral and radial collateral |
What structures provide stability of the hip joint? | Acetabulum, and the Iliofemoral Pubofemoral and Ischiofemoral ligaments. |
What type of joint is the knee? | Hinge |
What are the stabilizing ligaments of the knee? | ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL, Deep medial capsular ligament |
What type of joint is the ankle? | Hinge |
What are the medial ligaments of the ankle? | Deltoid ligaments (Anterior Tibiotalar, Tibionavicular, Tibiocalcaneal) |
What ligaments make up the Deltoid Ligament? | Anterior Tibiotalar, Tibionavicular, Tibiocalcaneal |
What are the lateral ligaments of the ankle? (5) | Anterior Tibiofibular, Anterior Talofibular, Calcaneofibular, Lateral talocalcaneal and Posterior Talofibular |
What is the most commonly sprained ligament in the ankle? | The Anterior Talofibular, (inversion sprain) |
What are the free nerve endings found in joints sensitive to? | There are 2 types. One type is sensitive to non-noxious mechanical stress, and the other is sensitive to noxious mechanical or biochemical stimuli. |
What do golgi ligament endings do? | They sense tension or stretch on ligaments. |
What do Golgi-Mazzoni Corpuscles sense? | Compression of the joint capsule. |
What do Pacinian Corpuscles sense? Where are they located? | High frequency vibration, acceleration and high velocity changes in joint position. They are found in the fibrous layer of joint capsule in all joints. |
What do Ruffini Endings sense, and where are they located? | They sense stretching of the capsule, and amplitude and velocity of joint position. They are located in the fibrous layer of the joint capsule, with greatest density in the proximal joints. |

Describe the four grades of joint mobilizations. | Grade I: Small amplitude movement @ beginning of range. Grade 2: Large amplitude movement within the range, but not reaching limits. Grade 3: Large amplitude movement performed to the limit of range. Grade 4: Small amplitude movement @ end range. |
