Question
Complete the descriptions below the diagrams by inserting the type of movement in each answer blank. (a) _________ at the elbow (b) ________ at the knee (c) of the upper limb (d) ___________ of the lower limb (e) ___________ of the upper limb (f) ___________ of the foot (g) _________ of the head (h) _________ of the forearm Joint Disorders What structural joint changes are common among elderly people? ______________ Define the following terms. Sprain: __________ dislocation: _____________ What types of tissue damage might you expect to find in a dislocated joint? __________________________Explanation / Answer
a. Flexion at the elbow:movement in the sagittal plane that decreases the angle of a joint (bends the joint).
b.Flexion at the knee:movement in the sagittal plane that decreases the angle of a joint (bends the joint).
c.Abduction of the upper limb:movement in the coronal plane that moves a limb laterally away from the body.
d..Abduction of the lower limb:movement in the coronal plane that moves a limb laterally away from the body.
e.Circumduction of the upper limb: circular motion of the arm, thigh, hand, thumb, or finger that is produced by the sequential combination of flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction.
f.Eversion of the foot:foot movement involving the intertarsal joints of the foot in which the bottom of the foot is turned laterally, away from the midline.
g.Rotation of the head: movement of a bone around a central axis (atlantoaxial joint).
h. Pronation of the forearm:: forearm motion that moves the palm of the hand from the palm forward to the palm backward position.
Joint disorders:
12. The structural changes that are common to elderly perople are degenerative changes including osteoarthritis.
13. Sprain:ligaments that reinforce/support a joint are damaged by excessive stretching, and/or torn away from the bony attachment.
Dislocation: Bones are forced out of their normal positions in a joiny cavity.
14. The tissue damages that are seen in a dislocated joint are:
