The Distribution of Pressure in the Elbow Joint Together with Fundamental Remarks on Joint Pressure

Eleventh Contribution on the Functional Anatomy and the Basic Morphology of the Supporting Apparatus

  • Chapter
Biomechanics of the Locomotor Apparatus

Abstract

Statements are found even in the new textbooks of anatomy that essentially three groups of forces are responsible for joint coaptation: 1) atmospheric pressure, 2) muscular forces, and 3) additionally, in the lower extremity, the body weight.

For the 65th anniversary of Professor K. Goerttler. Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Z. Anat. Entwickl. Gesch. 123, 643 bis 667 (1963)
