This CPD module will outline the types of joints involved in building and civil engineering structures and will look at technical issues facing contractors and maintenance personnel. There are three ...

The different types of movement that are permitted at each joint are described below. Flexion – bending a joint. This occurs when the angle of a joint decreases. For example, the elbow flexes when ...

Improving mobility isn’t just about stretching once in a while—it’s about consistency. Just like strength training or fat ...

A joint is a place where two or more bones meet and is also called an articulation. Synovial joints (freely movable joints) allow us the free movement to perform skills and techniques during physical ...

There is an increasing trend for structural engineers to limit their role to the design of key structural members (typically beams and columns) and not other structural aspects. This can be concerning ...

Taking a cue from machines that gently flex patients’ knees to help them recover faster from joint surgery, bioengineering researchers at UC San Diego have shown that sliding forces applied to ...

Arthritis, which is the wear and tear of the joints, is a condition that affects millions, especially the elderly. Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling are the typical signs of this condition, and it ...
