Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

373
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes01:28

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes

4.3K
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

3.1K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Introduction to Joints

5.0K
The adult human body usually has 206 bones, and except for the hyoid bone in the neck, each bone is connected to at least one other bone. Joints are the location where bones come together. Many joints allow for movement between the bones. At these joints, the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones can move smoothly against each other. However, the bones of other joints may be joined by connective tissue or cartilage. These joints are designed for stability and provide little or no...

Functional Classification of Joints01:09

Functional Classification of Joints

7.2K
Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
Synarthrosis

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints01:07

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

2.5K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Human Movement Science
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Current 3D gait analysis often overlooks the inter-joint relationships of foot rotations.
  • Understanding foot joint coordination is crucial for analyzing gait and identifying pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and characterize movement coordination patterns of the foot during walking.
  • To expand existing vector coding techniques for multi-segment foot and ankle models.
  • To develop a graphical representation for summarizing joint coordination patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Recorded 3D multi-segment foot kinematics in 13 adults during walking.
  • Employed a modified vector coding technique to analyze coordination between calcaneus, midfoot, metatarsus, and hallux segments.
  • Classified joint rotations as in-phase, anti-phase, or proximal/distal dominant.

Main Results:

  • Proximal-phase coordination (calcaneus, midfoot, metatarsus) observed in 51-75% of early stance trials.
  • In-phase coordination was prevalent in late stance, indicating synergistic inversion at multiple foot joints.
  • Distal-phase coordination was noted in sagittal plane motion, emphasizing the role of arch shortening in push-off.

Conclusions:

  • Successfully identified distinct coordination patterns between foot joints (calcaneus, midfoot, metatarsus, hallux) during walking.
  • The expanded vector coding technique offers a novel perspective on multi-segment foot kinematics analysis.
  • This method can objectively quantify alterations in foot joint coordination related to pathologies or injuries.
