|
Definition
| most common & most moveable joints, allow a greater range of movement |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
articular surfaces are flat, so gliding movements can take place in any direction, but no rotation occurs
-ex: intercarpal joints |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
movement occurs around only one axis and flexion and extension are the movements.
ex: articulation between humerus and ulna at elbow |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
movement occurs around only one axis and the acis is longitudinal along the shaft of a bone, rotation is the only possible movement
ex: articulation between humerus & radius at the elbow |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
like a knuckle, movement is possible around two axes that lie perpemdicular to one another, articular processes are oval and complementary

| caused by excessive stretching or tearing of ligaments associated with the talocrural joint |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a fracture of the femur at the hip joint |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the articulating surfaces of bones within joints are forced out of their normal position |

Definition
happens because the knee is the largest and most superficial joint in the body. it gets twisted, jolted, and bears most of the weight.
-Torn Meniscus
-Cruciate and Collateral Ligament Tears

| usually caused by twisting motions while the knee is flexed |

Term
| Cruciate and Collateral Ligament Tears |
|
Definition
| ACL is the most commonly damaged by sudden twisting or change in body direction while the foot is planted on the floor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 3 structures are damaged simultaneously: ACL, medial collateral, and medial meniscus |

Term
|
Definition
| a group of inherited diseases in which a genetic mutation prevents the body from making normal proteins in skeletal muscle fibers |
|
|
Term
| Muscle Strains (Pulled Muscles) |
|
Definition
| involve tearing of muscle fibers, often at the junction of the muscle fascicles with the tendon. |
|

Term
|
Definition
| strains to muscles in the medial compartment of the thigh- the pectineus or adductor muscles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
strains to muscles in the posterior compartment of the thigh
-ex: biceps femoris |

Term
|
Definition
| pain around the shin bone due to microscopic tears in the muscle fascicles of the tibialis anterior where it attaches to the tibia |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| damage to a muscle tendon at the microscopic level where collagen bundles are torn and disrupted |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| tendinosis of the common extensor tendon of the forearm muscles at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. overuse injury caused by repeated motions that stress the commom extensor tendon (such as too many backhand strokes with a tennis racket) |
|

Term
|
Definition
| tendinosis of the common flexor tendon of the forearm muscles at the medial epicondyle of the humerus. overuse injury caused by repeated motions that stress the common flexor tendon (such as swinging a golf club) |
