  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Small joint manipulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_joint_manipulation

    Most small joint manipulation is done on the hands or feet to hyperextend joints as part of a pain compliance strategy. The basic techniques of small-joint manipulation involve grabbing and bending back one or more fingers/toes and by applying pressure to the wrist/ankle joints that disrupt the interconnectivity of the system of smaller joints within.

  5. Hypermobility (joints) - Wikipedia

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

    The shape of the ends of the bones—Some joints normally have a large range of movement, such as the shoulder and hip. Both are ball-and-socket joints. If a shallow rather than a deep socket is inherited, a relatively large range of movement will be possible. If the socket is particularly shallow, then the joint may dislocate easily.

    Hip Dislocation. A hip dislocation occurs when the ball of the hip joint moves out of place from where it’s supposed to be in the socket. The most common cause is car accidents. Jumping down ...

  8. Joint manipulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_manipulation

    Many definitions of joint manipulation have been proposed. [1] The most rigorous definition, based on available empirical research is that of Evans and Lucas: [2] "Separation (gapping) of opposing articular surfaces of a synovial joint, caused by a force applied perpendicularly to those articular surfaces, that results in cavitation within the synovial fluid of that joint."

  9. Joint lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_lock

    A joint lock is a grappling technique involving manipulation of an opponent's joints in such a way that the joints reach their maximal degree of motion and hyperextension.. In judō these are referred to as kansetsu-waza (関節技, "joint locking technique" [1]) and in Chinese martial arts as chin na, which literally means "catching and locking".
