  2. Joint dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_dislocation

    Dislocations can occur in any major joint (shoulder, knees, etc.) or minor joint (toes, fingers, etc.). The most common joint dislocation is a shoulder dislocation. [1] Treatment for joint dislocation is usually by closed reduction, that is, skilled manipulation to return the bones to their normal position. Reduction should only be performed by ...

  3. Closed kinetic chain exercises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_kinetic_chain_exercises

    Closed chain exercises are often compound movements, that generally incur compressive forces, while open-chain exercises are often isolation movements that promote more shearing forces. [ 1 ] CKC exercises involve more than one muscle group and joint simultaneously rather than concentrating solely on one, as many OKC exercises do (single-joint ...

  4. Open kinetic chain exercises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_kinetic_chain_exercises

    The opposite of OKC are closed kinetic chain exercises (CKC). Both are effective for strengthening and rehabilitation objectives. [ 1 ] Closed-chain exercises tend to offer more "functional" athletic benefits because of their ability to recruit more muscle groups and require additional skeletal stabilization.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermobility_(joints)

    For example, their joints may be easily injured, be more prone to complete or partial dislocation due to the weakly stabilized joint and they may develop problems from muscle fatigue (as muscles must work harder to compensate for weakness in the ligaments that support the joints). Hypermobility syndromes can lead to chronic pain or even ...

  7. Acquired hand deformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquired_hand_deformity

    Osteoarthritis commonly affects three main sites in the hand: the base of the thumb, where the thumb and wrist converge, known as the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint; the joint closest to the fingertip, referring to the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP); the middle joint of a finger, referring to the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP).

  9. Contortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contortion

    However, as long as the joint socket is the right shape, most extreme bends can be achieved without dislocating the joint. [4] Actual dislocations [5] are rarely used during athletic contortion acts since they make the joint more unstable and prone to injury, and a dislocated limb cannot lift itself or support any weight.
