THE MOVEMENTS OF BONES AND JOINTS



Download PDF

Abstract

1. Two successive movements at a joint, if not in one and the same plane, constitute a diadochal movement.

2. Diadochal movements impose conjunct rotation upon the bone which has been moved. This may be countered by a rotation of opposite sense.

3. All muscles of a given joint are, therefore, rotators in some degree.

4. Upon the basis of these principles diagnostic and therapeutic suggestions are made.
