Term
Open chain kinematics
Definition
When any one joint can move freely in isolation
Term
Closed chain kinematics
Definition
Requires the use of 2 joints to move

Example: weight bearing activities
Term
Osteokinematics
Definition
decribes motion of bones related to the 3 cardinal planes: sagital, frontal, transverse
Term
Osteokinematics
Definition
-proximal segment can move against a relatively fixed distal segment

-distal segment can move against a relatively fixed proximal segment
Term
Arthrokinematics: SLIDE
Definition
A point stays in contact with a fixed surface when moving in a direction
Term
Arthrokinematics: SPIN
Definition
A point is spinning/rotating in place
Term
Arthrokinematics: ROLL
Definition
A point is spinning and moving linearly on a surface
Term
Convex on Concave
Definition
Bone will roll in one direction and glide in the opposite direction
Term
Concave on Convex
Definition
Roll and glide occur in the same direction
Term
when a convex surface moves on a concave surface...
Definition
the surface rolls one way and glides in the opposite direction
Term
when a concave surface moves on a convex surface...
Definition
the surface rolls and glides in the same direction
Term
close packed position
Definition
the position in which two bones in a joint fit together the best; the least amount of movement is allowed
Term
open packed position
Definition
joint position in which the two surfaces are not in their closest fitting position
Term
agonist
Definition
the prime mover
Term
antagonist
Definition
opposer
Term
synergist
Definition
assists the agonist
Term
co-contraction
Definition
a stablizing action; the agonist and antagonist working at the same time; an isometric contraction
