External rotation refers to the movement of a body segment away from the midline of the body or the center of a joint. For example,…
What Is Distal Interphalangeal Joint Flexion and Extension? The distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) is the joint at the end of the finger or toe, near the nail. DIP flexion means to flex a finger or toe, bringing the tip of the finger to the palm or sole of the foot. The extension is a reverse…
What is Lumbar Flexion And Extension? Lumbar flexion and extension refer to the two main types of movement that occur in the lower part of the spine, specifically the lumbar region: Both lumbar flexion and extension are essential for the overall functionality of the spine. Maintaining a balance between these movements, along with stability and…
In physical therapy programs, the convex-concave rule is often discussed in the context of joint mobilizations or manipulations. The rule provides guidance on how the shapes of joint surfaces (convex or concave) affect the direction of movement during joint mobilization techniques. Here’s a brief explanation of the rule in the context of arthrokinematics and physical…
