How does the condyloid joint move?
The condyloid joint is found at the wrist. It allows movement in two planes; this is called biaxial. It allows you to bend and straighten the joint. and move from side to side. The joints between the metacarpals and phalanges are also condyloid.
How many types of range of motion are there for wrist joint?
Technically the wrist joint is the one between the ulna and radius and the scaphoid and lunate carpal bones, however this is disputed by many who tend to believe the wrist is the combination of the carpal bones. By the first definition the only movement that the wrist joint does is flexion and extension, the rest are donr by the intercarpal joints. The second definition is the intercarpal joints and so it allows for the inversion and eversion movements associated with the wrist and so also allows for circumduction too. Finall suppination is often wrongly associated with the wrist joint. This is not true suppination is the result rearangement of of the relavitve postions of the ulna and radius.
What type of joint is the wrist?
The Condyloid joint
Is the wrist a movable joint?
Yes but what may be surprising is that it is only moveable in One Plane, Flexion and Extension. It does appear able to be Abducted and Adducted as well as Rotated. The apparant rotation actually occurs in the Forearm and comes from Pronation and Suppination of the Radius and Ulna. The apparand abduction and adduction comes primarily from Intercarpal joints but very slightly from the wrist.
What joint is the wrist?
None. Because the wrist is the joint of the arm and the hand.
What movement is possible at the wrist joint?
flexion, extention, adduction, abduction, circumduction.
What are the bones that articulate around the ulna?
You have the humerus above. The radius above and below. The ulna does not take part in wrist joint formation. It comes in contact with triquetrum bone in extreme adduction of wrist joint.
Can wrist do medial flexion?
The wrist can do abduction and adduction. Medial flexion might be another way of saying adduction, or moving toward the midline.
