The ability to position the fingers and thumb in precise postures is vital for the highly coordinated use of the hand and the wrist has a significant role to play in this function. The shoulder blade and the shoulder perform the gross positioning of the arm, the elbow places the hand at varying distances from the body, the forearm dictates the angle of the wrist and the wrist performs the final positioning of the hand. The closer to the hand the body parts come the more precise and fine the movement becomes.

The inward rotation of the femur which occurs as the knee comes close to its locking position of extension is not large but very important to knee function, making the knee much more complex than a simple hinge joint. The small internal movements of the knee are limited in the knee joint and the joint cannot afford any losses of these motions without losing some of its function. These small movements are called accessory movements and are small gliding and sliding movements which occur within the joint during functional activity but which cannot be performed in isolation.

The knee joint is a hinge joint as is the elbow but has a complex hinging action. At the end of the thigh bone is the expanded area known as the femoral condyles, with a similar area on the upper part of the shin bone (the condyles of the tibia), making up the knee. The fibula is a smaller bone on the outside of the shin but not part of the knee joint and does not bear significant weight, functioning as an area of attachment for the ankle, foot and toe muscles. The knee divides the leg by its hinge, functioning to allow the delivery of high levels of muscular propulsive force, to enable shortening of the limb during gait and to bend the knee in sitting and other resting postures.

The effect on the function of the hip joint of a difference in the length of the legs has been mentioned previously in an article in this series. The longer of the two legs will attempt to keep the head level by flexing slightly at the hip and knee, leading to a lack of movement into extension of the hip as we walk. Rotation of the hip and pelvis is required to achieve a more normal gait pattern if extension is not fully achievable. This may be a small change in joint movement, but on repetition thousands of times per day this can set up difficulties in joint movement and over time a painful joint condition.

Small movements which allow a glide and a slide inside a joint are essential for the normal use of the joint but cannot be done in isolation, occurring with other movements. These are called accessory movements and their presence is vital to joint function, a reduction in available range or a pain problem resulting if they are lost or reduced. The hip is a deep joint with significant stability so the accessory movements are rather subtle, with the main one being compression and distraction, the pushing in to and pulling out of the ball from the socket.

Physical Fitness is a necessary requisite for leading a healthy and active life. It not only improves the strength and endurance of the body but also your lifestyle.
