Question
Answer
Generally speaking, kinesiology is the study of ___________.   movement  
🗑
Kinesiology combines ___________, __________, and __________ for understanding human movement.   anatomy, biomechanics, and physiology  
🗑
Mechanical principles that relate directly to the human body:   biomechanics  
🗑
PTs and PTAs use kinesiology to determine:   1)What muscles need to be strengthened 2)what muscles are used during activities like walking and standing from a seated position (in order to help patients regain their ability to do those things)  
🗑
PTAs need to know these 4 very important things:   1)Where a specific muscle originates and inserts 2)What action a muscle performs 3)What nerve innervates the muscle 4)What motion the joint allows  
🗑
A location or position toward or at the midline of the body:   medial  
🗑
A location or position away from the midline of the body:   lateral  
🗑
The front of the body, or a position close to the front:   anterior/ventral  
🗑
The back of the body, or a position more toward the back:   posterior/dorsal  
🗑
________ and ________ are terms used to describe location along the extremities.   proximal/distal  
🗑
Pertains to a location on the extremity away from the trunk:   distal  
🗑
Pertains to a location on the extremity toward the trunk:   proximal  
🗑
Body part that is above another body part (usually referring to the trunk, since proximal and distal are used to describe body part location on the extremities:   superior  
🗑
Body part that is below another part of the trunk:   inferior  
🗑
A position or structure toward the head:   cranial or cephalad  
🗑
A position or structure toward the feet:   caudal  
🗑
Like ventral and dorsal, cranial and caudal are terms best used describe positions on a __________.   quadruped (4-legged animal)  
🗑
__________ and _________ are directional terms referring to the depth of a structure.   superficial and deep  
🗑
Standing eyes forward, feet even (parallel and close together), and arms at the side of the body with the palms facing forward:   anatomical position  
🗑
In the ________ _________, the palms are facing the body.   fundamental position  
🗑
____________ deals with the active movement of bones around a joint axis.   osteokinematics  
🗑
When describing joint movements, it is imperative that we include these 3 descriptions:   1)Which side of the body 2)Which joint is moving 3)What motion is occurring at that joint  
🗑
Not all _________ occur at all joints.   movements  
🗑
Name the movements possible at the hip:   flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, external (lateral) and internal (medial) rotation  
🗑
The bending movement of one bone on another, bringing the two segments together and causing an increase in joint angle:   flexion  
🗑
The straightening movement of one bone away from another - this motion usually returns the body part to anatomical position:   extension  
🗑
The continuation of extension beyond anatomic position:   hyperextension  
🗑
Flexion at the wrist is called:   palmar flexion  
🗑
Extension at the wrist is called:   wrist extension  
🗑
Flexion at the ankle is called:   plantar flexion  
🗑
Extension at the ankle is called   dorsiflexion  
🗑
Movement away from the midline of the body:   abduction  
🗑
Movement toward the midline of the body:   adduction  
🗑
Exceptions to the 'toward midline of the body' definition of abduction/adduction are ________ and ________.   fingers and toes  
🗑
Movement possible at the shoulder   flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, medial/lateral rotation, horizontal adduction/abduction  
🗑
Movement possible at wrist:   palmar flexion / wrist extension, radial deviation/ulnar deviation  
🗑
____________ abduction and adduction are possible at the hip as well, but the range of motion is not as great as at the shoulder.   Horizontal  
🗑
Movement possible at neck:   flexion/extension, hyperextension, lateral bending, rotation  
🗑
Movement possible at trunk:   flexion/extension, hyperextension, lateral bending, rotation  
🗑
A circular motion that involves flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction:   circumduction  
🗑
The movement of a bone or part around its longitudinal axis;   rotation  
🗑
Rotation in which the anterior surface of bone rolls inward toward midline:   medial (internal) rotation  
🗑
Rotation in which the anterior surface of bone rolls outward, away from midline:   lateral (external) rotation  
🗑
Rotation of the forearm anteriorly:   supination  
🗑
Rotation of the forearm posteriorly:   pronation  
🗑
Moving the sole of the foot inward at the ankle:   inversion  
🗑
Moving the sole of the foot outward at the ankle:   eversion  
🗑
A mostly linear movement of a body part along a plane parallel to the ground, AWAY from the midline:   protraction  
🗑
A mostly linear movement of a body part along a plane parallel to the ground, TOWARD the midline:   retraction  
🗑
Motion type in which all parts of the object move the same distance, in the same direction, at the same time:   linear (translatory) motion  
🗑
Movement that occurs in a straight line:   rectilinear  
🗑
Movement that takes a curved path:   curvilinear  
🗑
Movement of an object around a fixed point, in which all parts of the object are moving in the same direction, through the same angle, at the same time, BUT all the parts do not travel the same distance:   angular motion  
🗑
Name the motions that occur in the sagittal plane:   flexion/extension, hyperextension  
🗑
Name the motions that occur in the frontal plane:   abduction/adduction  
🗑
Name the motion that occurs in the transverse plane:   rotation, horizontal abduction/adduction  
🗑
The study of forces and the motion produced as a result of those forces:   mechanics  
🗑
Portion of biomechanics that deals with non-moving systems:   statics  
🗑
Portion of biomechanics that deals with moving systems:   dynamics  
🗑
Dynamic systems can be divided into ________ and ________.   kinetics and kinematics  
🗑
In relation to dynamic systems, __________ are the forces causing the movement, while _________ is the time, space, and mass aspects of a moving system.   kinetics / kinematics  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
