3 Flashcards
Which plane of motion is responsible for hip and shoulder abduction?
frontal
Which plane of motion does shoulder internal/external rotation occur?
transverse
Which movement types occurs in the sagittal plane of motion?
flexion and extension
What is sherrington’s law of reciprocal inhibition?
for every muscle activation there is a corresponding inhibition or the opposing muscle
What type of muscles involves a continuous muscle contraction with the goal to move weight?
sustained force movement
Define dynamic balance movement:
constant agonist-antagonist muscle contractions that occur to maintain a certain position/posture
What type of movement exists after an explosion or quick contraction allowing for a quick and max speed contraction?
Ballistic movement
Which type of movement occurs when both the agonist and antagonist contract to control movement?
guided movement
Define angular motion:
rotation around an axis
