The crayfish has a pair of legs called chelipeds, more commonly known as pinchers. The joint motion of these pinchers allow the crayfish capture prey and defend itself.

The degree of motion at a joint is determined by?

The degree of motion at a joint is determined by the structure of the joint (e.g., the type of joint, presence of cartilage), the surrounding ligaments and tendons, and the range of muscle movement. Joint stability and flexibility also play a role in the degree of motion allowed at a joint.

Exercises that put each joint through its full arc of motion are called?

Exercises that put each joint through its full arc of motion are called "full range of motion exercises" or "joint mobility exercises." These exercises help improve flexibility, mobility, and overall joint health by moving the joint through its complete range of movement.

How is range of motion exercise done?

Range of motion exercise refers to activity aimed at improving movement of a specific joint. This motion is influenced by several structures: configuration of bone surfaces within the joint, joint capsule, ligaments, and.


We can move our arms in circular motion but not our knees .why?

Moving our arms in a circular motion is possible due to the structure and range of motion of our shoulder joints. The knee joint, however, is a hinge joint designed primarily for flexion and extension, limiting its ability to move in a circular motion. The ligaments and tendons surrounding the knee joint also restrict its range of motion compared to the shoulder joint.


What is an active range of motion?

Active range of motion is when a joint is moved through its range with the person moving the joint him or herself. Passive range of motion is when something besides the muscles of the joint does the moving. So if I were to bend someone else's knee (and they didn't help) it would be passive range of motion. But if the person just moves his or her joint, then it is active.
