Body Movemets Flashcards
what does the movement of flexion represent
straightening or opening a joint
In anatomical position, how are joints in relation to movement?
extended
what is it when a joint goes beyond normal available ROM
hyper-extension
what does the movement of flexion represent
bending of a joint and brings the bone closer togethe
along what plane does flexion and extension take place
sagittal plane
What does the movement of adduction do?
brings the limb medially towards to midline (Adding to the midline)
what does the movement of abduction do?
brings the limb laterally away from the midline (or carry away)
What does rotation refer to ?
only pertains to the axial skeleton, (head and vertebral column)
along what plane does the movement of rotation occur q
transverse plane or (Horizontal)
what does the movement circumduction represent?
involves a combination of flexion, abduction, adduction, and extension. and together these actions create a cone-shaped movement
Where does lateral flexion only occur?
at the axial skeleton, ex. (when the head and neck bends laterally to the side)
What do the movements of elevation and depression refer to?
to the movements of the scapula and jaw, elevation is more superior, while depression is inferiorly
what does the movement of supination refer to?
(carrying a bowl of soup), occurs when the radius and ulna lie parallel to one another
What does the movement pronation refer to?
(in a prone position, palms down) when the radius crossed over the ulna, turning the palm down
where do the movements of inversion and eversion occur?
several joints at the feet
