Does problems in one joint cause problems in the opposing joint? Sounds logical but my doctor told me that Arthritis in one joint is not the cause of arthritis in the opposing joint (knees) because people generally stay off both joints when having problmes with one. Is this logical? Len Krotzer
The loose packed position of the elbow is when the joint is slightly flexed and the forearm is in a mid-prone position. This position allows for maximum mobility and ease of movement in the joint without putting it under undue stress.
The shoulder joint has sacrificed stability to provide freedom of movement. It is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of motion but is more prone to dislocation and instability compared to other joints in the body.
Swivel joints are used to keep pipes pressure sealed while allowing the joint to swivel with some intermittent vibration or movement. Anything that is prone to movement, vibration, or expansion should be connected with a swivel joint.
The dorsal raise is a movement in the sagittal plane, as it involves extension of the back muscles to lift the upper body up while lying prone.
The slide acts as an opposing force to clay in the context of slope stability. When clay is saturated or weakened, it loses cohesion, making it prone to sliding down a slope. The slide creates friction and resistance against the downward movement of the clay. This opposing force can help stabilize the slope, but if the force of gravity exceeds the resistance, a landslide may occur.
The shoulder capsule is a structure of connective tissue that surrounds and supports the shoulder joint. The capsule helps maintain the stability of the joint by holding the bones together and providing support during movement. It can be prone to injury and stiffness, resulting in limited range of motion or pain.
At the very basic level, the reason for this difference is mass. Because there's less mass for the shoulder to push against compared to the hip, it allows the joint more movement, but gives it less shielding.
Any size dog (or human for that matter) will be prone to more joint problems if they are carrying extra weight.
The prone extension position is a body posture where an individual lies face down (prone) with their arms and legs extended. This position is often used in physical therapy and rehabilitation to strengthen the back muscles and improve posture. It can also be beneficial for spinal alignment and core stability. In this position, the body is typically flat against a surface, allowing for a focus on extending the spine and engaging the posterior chain muscles.
Stability is the ability of a joint to withstand mechanical shocks and movements without being dislocated or otherwise injured. Stability depends on a number of factors, including the strength of the ligaments that bind the bones together, and the strength of muscles associated with the joint. Excessive flexibility training, especially without appropriate strength training, may reduce stability making an individual more prone to dislocations.
Rottweilers are very prone to joint problems, mainly in their hips. Your rottie will more than likely not develop hip problems after their first few years of life.
A line of weakness in rock is a structural feature that makes the rock more prone to breaking or fracturing, such as a fault, joint, or fracture. These lines of weakness can act as pathways for fluids, facilitate rock movement, and influence the overall stability of rock formations.
