Joint Stability and Congruence
Stability and Congruence in Articular Joints:
- Passive Factors: Joint capsule, ligaments.
- Active Factors: Muscular system (monoarticular and biarticular muscles).
Normal Mobility
Spatial Position: Within physiological ranges.
- Active Motion: Performed by active contraction of the musculature itself.
- Functional Motion: Lower-level movements.
Physiological Limitations
- Biomechanical
- Pathological
- Systemic
These limitations result in an active, functional state of the patient.
Passive Mobility
Performed by the examiner.
Anatomical Limitations
- Articular Top
- Pathological Pain
The score depends on the type of patient and the structural state.
Goniometry
Goniometry is the measurement of joint ranges of motion, whether normal or pathological.... Continue reading "Joint Stability and Range of Motion Assessment" »
