What is the loss or absence of mobility in a joint?
Ankylosis is the loss or absense of mobility in a joint.
Relationship between mobility and stability in joint?
Mobility and stability in a joint are interdependent - optimal joint function requires a balance between the two. Mobility allows for a range of motion, while stability helps maintain proper alignment and control movement to prevent injury. Improving mobility without sacrificing stability and vice versa is important for joint health and function.
Have the greatest mobility?
Synovial.
Describe the different classifications of joints and the range of movement at each?
Structural classification- how the bones are connected (fibrous joint, cartilaginous joint, synovial joint). Functional classfication- synarthrosis (little or no mobility); sutures of the skull amphiarthrosis (slight mobility); vertebrae diarthrosis (variety of mobility/movement); shoulder, hip, elbow, knee
What is unfavorable ankylosis?
stiffening of a joint ,which can cause pain and loss of mobility.
Does the hip joint allow a greater freedom of movement than the shoulder joint?
No, the shoulder joint allows a greater freedom of movement than the hip joint. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint, allowing for a wider range of motion compared to the hip joint, which is a ball-and-socket joint with more restricted movements due to its stronger and more stable structure.
What is the medical term meaning loss or absence of mobility in a joint due to disease an injury or a surgical procedure?
The medical term for loss or absence of mobility in a joint is "ankylosis." It can result from conditions such as arthritis, injury, or surgical procedures that lead to the fusion or immobility of the joint.
If you are building a robot with a skeleton similar to a human skeleton and the robot needs to be able to move a limb in all directions what kind of joint would be needed and why?
The greatest mobility is given by a ball and socket joint, such as humans have where the humerus meets the shoulder. The alternative, a hinge joint such as we have at the elbow, really only allows movement in one plane.
Is Ankylosis the loss or absence of mobility in a joint?
Ankylosis or anchylosis is a stiffness of a joint due to abnormal adhesion and rigidity of the bones of the joint, this can be the result of injury or disease.
What are the characteristics of flexibility?
hyper mobility, joint laxity, body build, and flexibility
Explain the relationship between joint strength and mobility using specific examples?
The stronger a joint is the less mobile it will be, and visa versa. The shoulder joint is a very mobile joint and is therefore weak.
What is fibrosis of connective tissue in skin fascia muscle or joint capsules that prevents normal mobility?
Too much mobility--the body needs scarring to occur in the correct length of time--so that healing is correct--therefore, mobility is not hindered, and not being painful to a person
