Applies to movements of the forearm in turning the palm backward or downward. When referring to the foot, a combination of eversion and abduction movements in the tarsal and metatarsal joints (turning the foot up and in toward the midline of the body).

Applies to movements of the forearm in turning the palm forward or upward. When referring to the foot, a combination of adduction and inversion movements of the foot.

A hinge joint connecting the FOREARM to the ARM.

The inner and longer bone of the FOREARM.

A radius fracture is a break in the bone that runs from the wrist to the elbow, located on the thumb-side of the forearm, which can occur at various sites such as near the wrist, middle of the bone or closer to the elbow.

The five long bones of the METATARSUS, articulating with the TARSAL BONES proximally and the PHALANGES OF TOES distally.

Distortion or disfigurement of the foot, or a part of the foot, acquired through disease or injury after birth.

Formed by the articulation of the talus with the calcaneus.

The outer shorter of the two bones of the FOREARM, lying parallel to the ULNA and partially revolving around it.

Fractures of the larger bone of the forearm.

Region of the body immediately surrounding and including the ELBOW JOINT.

The distance and direction to which a bone joint can be extended. Range of motion is a function of the condition of the joints, muscles, and connective tissues involved. Joint flexibility can be improved through appropriate MUSCLE STRETCHING EXERCISES.

Adhesive tape with the mechanical strength to resist stretching. It is applied to the skin to support, stabilize, and restrict movement to aid healing and/or prevent injuries of MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM.

A thick, fibrocartilaginous ligament at the metacarpophalageal joint.

Union of the fragments of a fractured bone in a faulty or abnormal position. If two bones parallel to one another unite by osseous tissue, the result is a crossunion. (From Manual of Orthopaedic Terminology, 4th ed)

The joint that is formed by the distal end of the RADIUS, the articular disc of the distal radioulnar joint, and the proximal row of CARPAL BONES; (SCAPHOID BONE; LUNATE BONE; triquetral bone).

Force exerted when using the index finger and the thumb. It is a test for determining maximum voluntary contraction force.

Injuries to the part of the upper limb of the body between the wrist and elbow.

The articulation between a metatarsal bone (METATARSAL BONES) and a phalanx.

"Dislocation is a traumatic injury wherein the normal articulation between two bones at a joint is disrupted, resulting in the complete separation of the bone ends and associated soft tissues from their usual position."

The surgical cutting of a bone. (Dorland, 28th ed)

Part of the arm in humans and primates extending from the ELBOW to the WRIST.

The distal extremity of the leg in vertebrates, consisting of the tarsus (ANKLE); METATARSUS; phalanges; and the soft tissues surrounding these bones.

A union between adjacent bones or parts of a single bone formed by osseous material, such as ossified connecting cartilage or fibrous tissue. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Surgical procedure by which a tendon is incised at its insertion and placed at an anatomical site distant from the original insertion. The tendon remains attached at the point of origin and takes over the function of a muscle inactivated by trauma or disease.

Lateral displacement of the great toe (HALLUX), producing deformity of the first METATARSOPHALANGEAL JOINT with callous, bursa, or bunion formation over the bony prominence.

Movement of a body part initiated and maintained by a mechanical or electrical device to restore normal range of motion to joints, muscles, or tendons after surgery, prosthesis implantation, contracture flexion, or long immobilization.

The posture of an individual lying face down.

The use of internal devices (metal plates, nails, rods, etc.) to hold the position of a fracture in proper alignment.

Injuries to the wrist or the wrist joint.

The superior part of the upper extremity between the SHOULDER and the ELBOW.

Motion of an object in which either one or more points on a line are fixed. It is also the motion of a particle about a fixed point. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)

A fracture in which the bone is splintered or crushed. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.

The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.

The properties, processes, and behavior of biological systems under the action of mechanical forces.

Bone in humans and primates extending from the SHOULDER JOINT to the ELBOW JOINT.

Force exerted when gripping or grasping.

A dead body, usually a human body.

The rotational force about an axis that is equal to the product of a force times the distance from the axis where the force is applied.
