The knee allows for three distinct planes, these include flexion and extension, abduction and adduction as well as internal and external rotation.

It is these three pieces that come together to make the joints that form the knee. Often the main cause of knee pain other then injury is the dreaded arthritis, often being one of the two main types osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. In the case of osteoarthritis within the patients knee the cartilage that acts as padding between the bones wares away over time causing the bones to rub together this can be very painful.

In addition to being flexible, each hip joint must be capable of supporting half of the body’s weight along with any other forces acting upon the body. During running and jumping, for example, the force of the body’s movements multiplies the force on the hip joint to many times the force exerted by the body’s weight. The hip joint must be able to accommodate these extreme forces repeatedly during intense physical activities. · Shoulder joint - the shoulder joint is a shallow ball-and-socket joint between the humerus - upper-arm bone - and the glenoid fossa of the scapula - shoulder blade. A unique joint, the shoulder has only one bony attachment to the rest of the skeleton in the clavicle - collarbone - where it attaches to the scapula.
The ACL controls how far forward the tibia moves in relation to the femur. If the tibia is moved too far the ACL can rupture. When the knee is hyper extended the ACL can also be torn.

This is the correct reaction to this test. The extensor muscles of the thigh contracted while the flexor muscles relaxed allowing this action. In the absence of this reflex it could mean an abnormality of the reflex arc used for this reaction. The Ankle Jerk Reflex resulted in plantar extension causing the foot to extend back. In this case if the reflex is absent it could mean that diabetes, diseases of the peripheral nervous system, pyramidal tract disease, or hyperthyroidism affect the patient.
A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact. They are constructed to allow movement and provide mechanical support and weight bearing. 2. What is a synovial joint? Synovial joints are made up of bones that come together to formulate the joint, the ligaments attach bone to bone and allow for the joint movement to be stable and in the correct direction.
