what are the three body planes?
sagittal
frontal
transverse
the three body planes are used as points of reference for?
body motion and position
what does it mean when motion occurs in parallel to a particular body plane?
motion is occurring within that body plane
knee flexion is what body plane?
sagittal plane
rotation of the foot is what plane?
transverse plane
abduction of the arm is what plane?
frontal plane
what are the two motion of the foot that include simultaneous motions in the frontal, sagittal and transverse planes?
supination
pronation
supination and pronation are what types of motion?
triplanar
what’s a fixed structural position?
literally a structural position of a body part that is fixed in the position described
what is the joint axis and motion?
motion occurs in how many planes?
each of the joints of the foot possess an axis around which motion occurs
it occurs around and axis is perpendicular to that axis
single plane
what is unique of the axis of the first ray?
motion in both the sagittal and frontal plane motion simultaneously
dorsiflexion and inversion
plantarflexion and eversion
