  • Biomechanics
    BIOMECHANICS SAGAR BIOMECHANICS The study of mechanics in the human body is referred to as biomechanics. Biomechanics Kinematics Kinetics U Kinematics: Kinematics is the area of biomechanics that includes descriptions of motion without regard for the forces producing the motion. [It studies only the movements of the body.] Kinematics variables for a given movement may include following: y Type of motion. y Location of motion. y Direction of motion. y Magnitude of motion. y Rate or Duration of motion. Ö Type of Motion: There are four types of movement that can be attributed to any rigid object or four pathways through which a rigid object can travel. < Rotatory (Angular) Motion: It is movement of an object or segment around a fixed axis in a curved path. Each point on the object or segment moves through the same angle, at the same time, at a constant distance from the axis of rotation. Eg – Each point in the forearm/hand segment moves through the same angle, in the same time, at a constant distance from the axis of rotation during flexion at the elbow joint. < Translatory (Linear) Motion: It is the movement of an object or segment in a straight line. Each point on the object moves through the same distance, at the same time, in parallel paths. Translation of a body segment without some concomitant rotation rarely occurs. EgSAGAR – The movement of the combined forearm/hand segment to grasp an object, in this all points on the forearm/hand segment move through the same distance at the same time but the translation of the forearm/hand segment is actually produced by rotation of both the shoulder and the elbow joints.

  • Joints and Articulations
    Joints and Articulations Honors Anatomy & Physiology Ms. Susan Chabot Joints/Articulations • Where two bones interconnect • Structure of joint determines movement. • Designed to meet the strength and flexibility required for movement. Functions • Bind parts of the skeleton. • Allow for bone growth. • Permit changes of skeleton during childbirth. • Allow for movement. • Vary considerably in structure and function. • Classified based on degree of movement. AND/OR • The type of tissue that bonds the bones together. Quick Fact There are 230 joints/articulations in the body. Structural Classification of Joints • Fibrous Joints: held together by collagen • Cartilaginous Joints: held together by cartilage • Synovial Joints: separated by cavity filled with fluid Functional Classification of Joints: What kind of movement do they permit? • Synarthrosis: immovable • Amphiarthrosis: slightly movable • Diarthrosis: freely movable Synarthrosis: Typically Fibrous Joints • No measurable movement occurs at this joint. • Connect bones that are very close to one another. • A thin layer of connective tissue joins the bones together. • Example: sutures between bones of the skull. Amphiarthrosis: Typically Cartilaginous Joints • Allows limited movement. • Absorbs shock. • Use of hyaline cartilage to connect bone. • Example: intervertebral discs. Diarthrosis: REMINDER! Ligaments join bone Synovial Joints to bone. Tendons join muscle to bone! • Most joints fit into this category. • Permits free movement. • Structurally complex. • Ends of bones are covered with smooth cartilage = allows for gliding and prevents bones from rubbing together. • Surrounds a joint capsule filled with fluid to lubricate joints. Types of Synovial Joints • Ball-and-socket (C) • Condyloid (E) • Gliding (Wrist) • Hinge (A) • Pivot (D) • Saddle (B) Ball-and-Socket • Bone with a rounded (ball-shaped) end that articulates with a cup-shaped cavity.

  • Function and Classification of Joints
    Joints Introduction of Joints Joint (or articulation)- the junction between two or more bones. With the exception of the hyoid bone, every bone in the body is connected to or forms a joint. There are 230 joints in the body Joint Functions 1. Hold the skeletal bones together 2. Allow the skeleton some flexibility so gross movement can occur 3. Make bone growth possible Joint Classification Joints are classified by: movement or tissue type Movement 4. Immovable 5. Slightly Movable 6.Freely Movable Tissue (more common) 1.Fibrous 2. Cartilaginous 3. Synovial Three General Groups of Joints • Fibrous: classified by Sutures, Syndesmosis, and Gomphosis. • Cartilaginous: Connected entirely by cartilage • Synovial: Most common and most movable joint. Synovial Joints • Articular ends covered in hyaline cartilage and held together by dense connective tissue • Joint capsules made up of ligaments (outer layer) and synovial membranes (inner layer) • Some synovial joints have shock-absorbing pads called menisci and fluid filled sacs called bursae. There are six types of synovial joints… • Ball-and-Socket Joint • Condyloid Joint • Gliding Joint • Hinge Joint • Pivot Joint • Saddle Joint Ball-and-Socket Joint • Ball-and-Socket Joint: consists of a bone with a ball-shaped head that attaches with the cup-shaped cavity of another bone. This type of joint allows for a wider range of motion than any other kind. It permits movement in all planes, and a rotational movement around a central axis. Two examples of this type of joint would be the hip and shoulder joints. Condlyoid Joint • Condyloid Joint: an oval- shaped condyle of one bone fits into an elliptical cavity of another bone.

Fibrous Joints -3 types *dense connective tissue holds them together & contains many collagenous fibers *found where bones lie close together *movement = little to none 1) syndesmosis – amphiarthrotic, bones are bound by long fibers of connective tissue, found at distal ends of tibia & fibula, bound by interosseous ligament 2) suture – synarthrotic, found only between flat bones of skull, connected by sutural ligament 3) gomphosis – synarthrotic, formed by union of a cone- shaped bony process in a bony socket, fastens tooth to jawbone, joined by periodontal ligament D. Cartilaginous Joints – 2 types *bones connected by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage 1) synchondrosis – temporary joints formed by hyaline cartilage; ossify by age 25 years; synarthrotic; (Ex.- epiphyseal plate, manubrium & first rib) 2) symphysis – articular surfaces of bones are covered by hyaline cartilage which is attached to a pad of springy fibrocartilage; amphiarthrotic; (Ex.
