It was first determined by Professor M MacConnail of Queens University, Dublin. As well as maximum congruency of joint surfaces the major ligaments are taut. Two bones become functionally one.

Close-packed position of the wrist?

In the close-packed position of the wrist, the joint is in maximum congruence and stability. This position is associated with full extension or flexion of the wrist, where the carpal bones are tightly compressed together, providing the most support for weight-bearing activities.


What is a open packed position?

The position of least joint congruity Position of joint separation Position of least joint stability The positions of travl of a joint away from the close packed position where by the capsule and ligaments are not taut, extreme movements in that direction usually results in sprain/strains

Particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only what?

Particles in a solid are packed so close together that they can only vibrate in place. This is why solids have a fixed shape and volume. The strong forces of attraction between particles hold them in a fixed position.


What is the close packed position of all the joints?

Left or right arm abducted (away from the body) 180 degrees superiorly (arm raised like your asking a question in class) from anatomical position. When any joint is in the closed packed position, it cannont move any further; it has reached the end of it's range of motion. Another example of a joint in the "close packed" packed position is full extension of the knee (standing up). Again, the knee can't go any further; unless you are willing to undure considerable pain! :0

What is the two dimensional coordination number of a molecule in square close packed layer?

In square close-packed layer, a molecule is in contact with four of its neighbours. Therefore, the two-dimensional coordination number of a molecule in square close-packed layer is 4.


In which state of matter are particles packed very tightly together?

Particles are packed very tightly together in the solid state of matter. The particles in a solid are in a fixed position and have minimal movement, resulting in a close arrangement with strong intermolecular forces holding them in place.

What is CPH?

CPH also frequently called HCP - is Close Packed Hexagonal (or hexagonal close packed). It is an arrangement of atoms in a crystal structure. It can mean quite a few other things, one of which is the IATA code for Copenhagen airport. See the related link for more information.


What is the loose packed position of elbow?

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.


Closed packed position of the hip?

a. the position that both of the articular surfaces are in the maximum congruency status for a joint, resulting in the greatest mechanical stability for that joint b. In the close-packed position, most ligaments and capsules surrounding to the joint are taut c. for the glenohumeral joint the close-packed position is abduction of 90º and full external rotation
