Which joint allows the rotation of arm?

The two bones that make up the lower arm, or forearm, are called the radius and the ulna. The radius is the bone that is located on the thumb side of the forearm. The ulna is the bone that is located on the pinky side of the forearm.


What does the structural term snugging the joint mean?

"Snugging the joint" is a term used in structural engineering to describe the process of tightening or reinforcing a joint to improve its stability and reduce movement between connected members. This is typically done to ensure structural integrity and prevent unwanted deflection or rotation.


What does it mean when your acromion is clongated and is multipartite in your shoulder?

If your acromion is elongated and multipartite, it means that the bone at the top of your shoulder blade (scapula) is abnormally shaped or has extra segments. This condition can sometimes be associated with shoulder impingement or rotator cuff injuries due to changes in the mechanics of the shoulder joint. Treatment options may include physical therapy, rest, or in severe cases, surgery.


What is acromioclavicular joint degenerative change with marrow edema involving clavicle at the joint mean?

Oh honey, that's just a fancy way of saying there's some wear and tear in the joint where your collarbone meets your shoulder blade, with some fluid buildup in the bone. Basically, your shoulder's seen better days and it's throwing a little tantrum. Time to give it some TLC and maybe lay off the heavy lifting for a bit.


Why does your body have different types of joints?

The different types of joints in the body allow for various types of movement and flexibility. Each type of joint is designed to serve a specific purpose and accommodate different ranges of motion, providing structural support and stability where needed.

What is the only joint with 360 degrees of rotation?

Well, from my knowledge, your wrist and your neck can do that if I'm understanding you right. Try to rephrase that. I'm not exacly sure what you mean! beachball45 shoulder It is actually the ball and socket joint which can move 360 degrees.

What does rotation mean in medical terms?

In medical terms, as in lay language, rotation means turning around an axis. The common uses in medical/anatomical terms are to describe movement at a joint (for instance, rotation of the neck is the movement you use when you shake your head "no." External rotation at the shoulder is what you use when you scratch the back of your neck.) Also, rotation might describe a malposition of an organ -- for instance, a slightly twisted uterus rotated left might be called levorotated (and to the right, dextrorotated.)

What is the difference between simple support and pin-joint support?

We tend to use them to mean the same thing. In two dimensions, a simple support is one that allows rotation. A pin joint support is a simple support that allows rotation but not translation. A roller joint support is a simple support that allows rotation and translation.


What does it mean to have acromioclavicular joint degenerative changes?

The acromioclavicular joint is the near the shoulder at the end of the clavicle (collar bone). Degenerative changes is another word for arthritis. It usually would cause pain in the front of the shoulder, especially with crossing the arm across the chest and lying on that side.

What is an example of a Ellipsoidal joint?

An ellipsoid joint can be found in the wrist and is the same type of movement as a ball in socket joint, but allows slightly less movement than the ball in socket It permits movement in two planes without rotation if that is what you mean by allows slightly less movement than the ball in socket joint. The wrist between the radius and the proximal row of carpal bones.
