What does subluxation refer to?

  1. Complete dislocation of a joint

  2. Partial dislocation with surrounding tissue trauma

  3. Minor muscle strain

  4. Injury caused by chronic stress

The correct answer is: Partial dislocation with surrounding tissue trauma

Subluxation refers to a partial dislocation of a joint, where the surfaces of the joint surfaces are not fully aligned. This condition often involves surrounding tissue trauma, including damage to ligaments, muscles, and cartilage. In the context of personal training and physical rehabilitation, recognizing subluxations is crucial because they can affect joint stability, mobility, and overall function. Understanding this concept can help trainers design appropriate rehabilitation or preventative programs to support clients' joint health and avoid further injury. Complete dislocation, minor muscle strain, and injuries caused by chronic stress represent different types of injuries or conditions that do not encompass the specific characteristics of subluxation.
