Define the motions of spin, slide, and roll as they relate to intra-articular joint motions? Which is most common within a joint?

What will be an ideal response?


ANS:
Spin is rotation about a fixed axis. Slide is a pure translatory or linear movement of one surface upon another, and roll would be rolling of one surface upon another (as in a rocking chair). Generally, intra-articular surfaces slide and roll upon one another in an attempt to produce as close to a pure spin as possible. This is rarely, if ever, achieved.
