Joint
(redirected from joint receptors)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

United; coupled together in interest; shared between two or more persons; not solitary in interest or action but acting together or in unison. A combined, undivided effort or undertaking involving two or more individuals. Produced by or involving the concurring action of two or more; united in or possessing a common relation, action, or interest. To share common rights, duties, and liabilities.


joint adj., adv. referring to property, rights or obligations which are united, undivided and shared by two or more persons or entities. Thus, a joint property held by both cannot be effectively transferred unless all owners join in the transaction. If a creditor sues to collect a joint debt, he/she must include all the debtors in the lawsuit, unless the debt is specifically "joint and several," meaning anyone of the debtors may be individually liable. Therefore, care must be taken in drafting deeds, sales agreements, promissory notes, joint venture agreements, and other documents. A joint tenancy is treated specially, since it includes the right of the survivor to get the entire property when the other dies (right of survivorship). (See: joint tenancy, joint and several, joint venture, tenancy in common)


JOINT. United, not separate; as, joint action, or one which is brought by several persons acting together; joint bond, a bond given by two or more obligors.

Articular or joint proprioceptors respond to mechanical deformation of the joint capsule and ligaments: Joint receptors include the rapidly adapting pacinian
The authors also proposed that, because this study was performed with the muscles relaxed, passive stretching of the muscle allowed afferent activity, further validating that muscle afferents appear to compensate for any loss of input from joint receptors due to ankle inversion sprains.
Regaining muscle control and performing muscle strengthening exercises, however, can be difficult during the early postoperative phase as a result of edema, pain, and the diminished activity of the joint receptors.
