Question | Answer |
sagittal plane: | divide the body into right & left 1/2's |
midsagittal plane: | equal right & left 1/2's |
1.actions: | flexions & extension |
coronal (frontal) plane: | front & back: anterior posterior |
2.actions: | abduction/adduction |
transverse plane: | top/bottom: superior/inferior |
3.actions: | medial(internal)/lateral(external)rotation |
bilateral comparison: | comparing both sides(evaluating if any injury has accured) |
flexion: | redusing joint angle or bringing bones closer together (when bending arms/legs) |
extension: | increase the angle back to Zero or separating bones (when returning body back to original position) |
hyper extension: | taking it pass Zero degree |
lateral flexion: | bends lateral to one side
example: like a tea pot |
adduction: | moving midally or towards that midline |
abduction: | lateral away from midline |
protaction: | protude move anterior= taking it out(forward) |
retraction: | Retreat move posterior= bringing it back(backwards) |
internal/Medial rotation: | rotate towards (inwards) the midline |
external or Lateral rotation: | rotate away(outward) from midline |
circumduction: | combo of flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, medial/lateral rotation |
elevation: | superior movement |
depresion: | inferior movement |
supination: | Palm up or anterion side up or face looking up |
pronation: | palm down or posterion side up, or face down |
inveresion: | sole of foot moves mideally |
eversion: | sole of foot moves lateraly |
plantar flexion: | walking in tipitoes |
dorsi flexion: | walking on your heals |
