PIVOT JOINT: Allows rotational movement around a single axis, like the joint in the neck that lets the head rotate. HINGE JOINT: Permits movement in one plane, mainly flexion and extension, as seen in the elbow and knee. CONDYLOID JOINT: Allows movement without rotation, enabling flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction. An example is the wrist joint. SADDLE JOINT: Provides angular movement similar to a condyloid joint but with a greater range, found in the thumb, enabling grasping. PLANE JOINT: Involves sliding or gliding movements between flat surfaces, seen in the joints between the tarsal bones in the foot. BALL AND SOCKET JOINT: Offers the greatest range of motion, including rotation, as seen in the shoulder and hip. #jointanatomy #humanjoints #orthopedics #bodymovement #learnanatomy #healthknowledge #medstudentlife #mededucation #anatomystudy #biomechanics #medicalscience #healthtips #physicaltherapy

🚨Breaking News🚨 RePaw Pet are on a mission to improve mobility and quality of life of pets and their owners by manufacturing high quality custom-made mobility aids for animals. Recently, RePaw had a unique opportunity to work with Posestvo Valdek and their friendly llama Nodi. Due to a degenerative change to his front limbs, RePaw were able to help and make a carbon orthosis for him. Along with students at the University of Ljubljana Faculty of Health Sciences, RePaw used SHD prepreg to manufacture the bespoke orthosis for Nodi. Carbon fibre is proving to be a game-changer in the dynamic realm of orthopaedic surgery. From braces and splints to artificial limbs, CFRPs have revolutionized orthopaedic applications helping not just humans but also animals. Apart from being lightweight and causing less strain on surrounding tissues and bones, there are numerous properties which makes carbon fibre an ideal candidate for orthopaedic applications. Learn why composites are gaining popularity in modern-day orthopaedics here: https://lnkd.in/dcCCnfP5 Source: SHD #carbonfiber #orthopedic #composites #news #composights

💻 Working all day on your laptop and phone giving you Locked fingers? 🤘🏼 Painless Clicking & Locking of FINGER during movement? Painful catching or popping? 💥"Trigger Finger" (stenosing tenosynovitis) is inflammation of the tendon sheaths of hand and fingers requiring the other hand to push the finger straight again. 🔺️ The exact cause of trigger finger isn't always certain, but some potential contributing factors include any activity requiring prolonged forceful finger flexion/bending (i.e. carrying shopping bags or a briefcase, prolonged writing, rock climbing, or the strenuous grasping of small tools) ✅ Treatment for trigger finger may include PRP, activity modification and tendon gliding exercises ✅ Aim to perform these 2 times or more per day, with 5-10 repetitions each.
