Q

What is the definition of horizontal extension?

A

Movement across the body away from the midline, parallel to the floor

26
Q

What is the definition of medial rotation?

A

Inward movement of a bone about its axis inwards

27
Q

What is the definition of lateral rotation?

A

Outward movement of a one about its axis outward

28
Q

What is circumduction?

A

Circular movement of a body part, its a combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction

29
Q

What are the 3 planes of movement?

A

Transverse
Frontal
Sagittal

30
Q

What is the transverse plane?

A
  • rotation occurs around the longitudinal axis
  • eg, throwing a discus
  • horizontal flexion and extension
31
Q

What is the frontal plane?

A
  • divides the body into front and back
  • movements are towards or away from the midline of the body
  • adduction and abduction of the shoulder and hip
  • eg, cartwheel
32
Q

What is the sagittal plane?

A
  • divides the body into left and right halves
  • flexion and extension
  • eg, knee joint when striking a football
33
Q

What is the definition of a agonist?

A

The muscle which is directly responsible for the movement of a joint

34
Q

What is the definition of an antagonist?

A

A muscle that has an action opposite to the agonist and helps in the production of coordinated movement

35
Q

What is the definition of a fixator?

A

A muscle which stabilises the origin of the agonist so that the agonist can pull against the bone

A

agonist: tibialis anterior
antagonist: soleus and gastrocnemius

58
Q

What is concentric contraction?

A
  • shortening of the muscle
  • joint angle decreases
  • causes flexion
59
Q

What is eccentric contraction?

A
  • lengthening of the muscle
  • joint angle increases
  • controls extension
60
Q

What is isometric contraction?

A
  • no change in length
  • joint angle remains constant
  • stops flexion and extension
