Anatomic Locations, Planes Of Motion, Joint Motions Flashcards
Plantarflexion
Extension of the ankle
Medial
Closer to the midline
Extension
Straightening movement; increases relative angle between segments
Horizontal abduction
Transverse plane arm movement from anterior to lateral (e.g. chest flies)
Frontal plane
Adduction/abduction
Lateral flexion
Eversion/inversion
Side lateral raise, side lunge, side shuffle
Flexion
Bending movement; decreases relative and le between segments
External rotation
Rotation away from midline
Internal rotation
Rotation toward midline
Ipsilateral
On the same side of the body
Proximal
Nearest to a point of reference
Transverse plane
Rotation
Horizontal adduction/abduction
Throwing, golfing, swinging a bat
Contralateral
On the opposite side of the body
Abduction
Movement away from middle
Inferior
Below a point of reference
Adduction
Movement toward the middle
