a. Soft
b. Firm
c. Empty
d. Hard
____ 4. All of the following are characteristics of closed kinetic chain (CKC) motion except:
a. joints just proximal to the fixed segment, which move in a predictable manner
b. promotion of joint stability
c. motion generally occurs faster during a CKC motion compared with open kinetic
chain motion
d. decreased shear forces
____ 5. Which of the following is not a function of ligaments?
a. Connect tendon to bone
b. Provide joint stability
c. Limit joint motion
d. Provide proprioceptive feedback
____ 6. Gliding occurs between two articular surfaces when:
a. one joint surface moves parallel to the plane of the adjoining joint surface
b. each subsequent point on one surface contacts a new point on the other surface
c. one point of contact on each surface remains in constant contact with a fixed
location on the other surface
d. one joint surfaces moves perpendicular to the plane of the adjoining joint surface
____ 7. Closed packed positions of synovial joints are best characterized by ____________ joint congruency
and ____________ gliding between articular surfaces
a. maximal, maximal
b. maximal; minimal
c. minimal; minimal
, d. minimal; maximal
True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
____ 8. The convex-concave principle states that if a convex surface moves on a concave surface, the roll
and glide occur in the same direction.
____ 9. Kinematics is associated with motion of a body or segment without regard to the forces that produce
motion.
____ 10. Arthrokinematics is concerned with gross bony motions.
____ 11. During rotary motion, the farther the distance from the axis of motion, the greater the velocity of that
point.
____ 12. Adduction is associated with movements of a segment further away from midline of the body.
____ 13. Goniometry is useful in quantifying translatory motion between adjacent bony segments.
, ____ 14. Closed kinematic chain motions occur when the distal segment is fixed and the
proximal segments move.
