Eversion

Ankle movement | Open away from the midline

Inversion

Movement of the ankle | Open towards the midline

Varus

Stress to medial/inside side closest to midline Opening of the lateral side

Valgus

Stress to the lateral side Opening of the medial side

Genu valgum | Genu varum

Knee diformaty

Cubitus varus | Cubitus valgum

Deformity Im elbow

Active

Movement you are able to produce yourself

Passive

Movement someone or something else is able to move you into

Lateral

Away from midline

Medial

Towards midline

Superior/cranial

Towards head

Inferior/caudal

Farther from the head

Proximal

Close to origin | Nearer to

Distal

Further away | Further from origin

Ipsilateral

Same side

Contralateral

Opposite side

Unilateral

One side

Bilateral

Both sides

Superficial

Closer to the surface of skin

Deep

Fourth we from the surface

Frontal plane/ coronal plane

Plane dividing anterior and posterior

Mid Saggital plane/Lateral plane

Divides body into 2 equal right and left sides

Para saggital plane

Dividing body into left and right sides but not equal

Transverse plane/ Axial plane

a horizontal plane divides body into upper and lower parts

Oblique plane

Dividing plane that is diagonal with any angle

Front

Posterior

Back

Movement in the frontal plane

Lateral movements occur Abduction and adduction at the hips Valgus and varus Scapular elevation and depression

Movement in the transverse plane

Creates a separation of superior and inferior Horizontal movements of the body and it’s segments Medial/lateral rotation Pronation and supination Horizontal abduction/adduction at shoulders

Movements in the Sagittal plane

Forward and backwards movements Flexion extension hyper extension Dorsiflexion plantar flexion

Axis

Line around which the movements take place

Movement in the sagittal plane takes place about the

Frontal axis

Movement in the frontal plane takes place about the

Sagittal axis

Movement in the transverse plane takes place about the

Vertical axis

Axis is always__ to the plane

Perpendicular

Radial deviation

Thumb to forearm

Ulnar deviation

Thumb to pinky side

Wrist flexion

Palm to forearm

Wrist extension

Back of hand to back of forearm

Toe extension

Lift toe up

Toe flexion

Curled up

Intermediate

Between two structures | In the middle of

Lateral next flexion Normal neck flexion Neck extension

Ear to shoulder Chin to chest Back of head to back
