ARTICULATIONS TERMS Flashcards
divides the body into right and left halves
sagittal plane
separates the body into front and back portions
frontal plane
perpendicular to the other two planes
transverse plane
-ion suffix means?
process of doing something
-ed suffix means?
position
distal part of the foot moves away from the tibia parallel to the sagittal plane?
plantar flexion of the foot
distal part of the foot moves toward the tibia parallel to the sagittal plane
dorsiflexion of the foot
the foot or part of the foot is rotated away from the mid line of the body parallel to the transverse plane
abduction of the foot
the foot or part of the foot is rotated toward the mid line of the body parallel to the transverse plane
adduction of the foot
the foot or part of the foot is tilted so that the plantar surface is facing toward the midline of the body parallel to the frontal plane
inversion of the foot
the foot or part of the foot is tilted so that the plantar surface is facing away the midline of the body parallel to the frontal plane
eversion of the foot
distal part of the foot is in a stationary attitude away from the tibia parallel to the sagittal plane
plantarflexed
distal part of the foot is in a stationary attitude towards the tibia parallel to the sagittal plane
dorsiflexed
pronation is triplane motion that involves what movements?
dorsiflexion
eversion

supination is triplane motion that involves what movements?
plantar flexion
inversion
adduction
pronated is stationary in the following attitudes?
everted
abducted
dorsiflexed
supinated is stationary in the following attitudes?
inverted
adducted
plantarflexed
what are the two main fixed structural positions pertaining to the foot?
adductus
abductus
if the foot or part of the foot is rotated externally, parallel to the transverse plane, with its distal aspect facing away from the midline of the body and the position is a fixed structural one
abductus
if the foot or part of the foot is internally rotated, parallel to the transverse plane, with its distal aspect facing toward the midline of the body and the position is a fixed structural position
adductus
the foot or part of the foot is inverted, parallel to the frontal plane and the position is a fixed structural one
varus
the foot or part of the foot is everted, parallel to the frontal plane and the position is a fixed structural one
valgus
a fixed structural position in which the foot is positioned above a transverse plane which runs through the heel
so a person walking on their heels
talipes calcaneus
a fixed structural position in which the foot is positioned below a transverse plane which runs through the heel
person walking on their toes
talipes equinas
sagittal plane motion?
axis of motion is perpendicular to the sagittal plane
axis of motion is parallel to transverse and frontal plane
transerver plane motion?
axis of motion is perpendicular to the transverse plane
axis of motion is parallel to the sagittal plane
axis of motion is parallel to the frontal plane
frontal plane motion?
axis of motion is perpendicular to the frontal plane
axis of motion is parallel to the sagittal plane
axis of motion is parallel to the transverse plane
