2
Q
Midline
A
- Divides body into left/right sections
3
Q
Superior

A
- Below, lower
- Used to describe core body, NOT limbs
5
Q
Proximal
A
- Closer to core body (further up the arm)
- Used to describe arms
6
Q
Distal
A
- Further from core body (closer to the wrist)
- Used to describe arms
7
Q
Medial
A
- Closer to the midline
8
Q
Lateral
A
- Further from the midline
9
Q
Superficial
A
- Closer to the surface of the body
10
Q
Deep
A
- Deeper inside the body, away from the surface
11
Q
Planes
A
- Objects move through planes
12
Q
Axis
A
- Objects rotate around axis
13
Q
Planes and axis are ________ to eachother
A
- Perpandicular
14
Q
What plane and axis is a spin on?
A
Transverse plane ——> Longitudinal axis
15
Q
What plane and axis is a front flip on?
A
Sagittal plane ——> Horizontal axis
16
Q
What plane and axis is a sideways shuffle on?
A
Frontal plane —–> Anterior-Posterior axis
17
Q
Flexion
A
- Bending of joints
- Angle becomes more acute
18
Q
Extension
A
- Straightening of joints
- Angle becomes more obtuse
19
Q
Abduction
A
- Moving laterally/away from the midline
20
Q
Adduction
A
- Moving closer to the midline
21
Q
Plantar flexion
A
- Pointing toes downwards (i.e: Standing on tip toes)
- Specific to ankle area
22
Q
Dorsiflexion
A
- Pointing toes upwards (i.e: Standing on heels)
- Specific to ankle area
23
Q
Inversion
A
- Result of standing on outer edges of ankle
24
Q
Eversion
A
- Result of standing on inner edges of ankle
25
Q
Pronation
A
- Rotating wrist so that the palms face outwards
26
Q
Supination
A
- Rotating wrist so that the palms face inwards
- Radius crosses over ulna when supinating wrists
27
Q
External rotation
A
- Rotating foot outwards (i.e: Passing a soccer ball)
28
Q
