Arthrokinematics refers to the movement of joint surfaces.
Arthrokinematics differs from Osteokinematics
Osteokinematics means bone movement and Arthrokinematics joint movement.
A roll is a rotary movement, one bone rolling on another.
A spin is a rotary movement, one body spinning on another.
A slide is a translatory movement, sliding of one joint surface over another.
Arthrokinematics
The convex-concave rule is the basis for determining
the direction of the mobilizing force when joint
mobilization gliding techniques are used to increase a
certain joint motion.
The direction in which sliding occurs depends on
whether the moving surface is concave or convex.
If the moving joint surface is CONVEX, sliding is in
the OPPOSITE direction of the angular movement of
the bone.
If the moving joint surface is CONCAVE, sliding is in
the SAME direction as the angular movement of the
bone.
From neutral position: extension "anterior spin"
From neutral position: Flexion “posterior Spin”
Movement of convex on concave
Femoral glides opposite motion of distal femur
Flex = Head roll posterior
Ext = anterior roll
Open-packed
300 flex
300 abd
Slight ER
Hip capsule
Iliofemoral ligament
Y ligament
Origin = AIIS
2 arms fan out to insert = intertrochanteric line of
femur
Strongest ligament of hip
Taut in hyperextension
Superior fibers taut in adduction
Inferior tense during abduction
Hip ligaments
Pubofemoral ligament
Origin = anterior pubic ramus
Insertion= anterior
intertrochanteric fossa
Taut in hip abd & ext
Ischofemoral ligament
Origin = posterior acetabular
rim, acetabulum labrum
Insertion = spiral around femoral
neck
Spiral
fibers taut during ext,
loosen in flex
Hip capsule & ligaments
Position of stability
Full extension of hip
Ligamentum teres
Triangular
