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
where does inversion occur?
elevates the foot’s medial side and brings the side of the foot medially
Where does eversion occur?
elevates the foot’s lateral side and moves sole laterally
where do the movements of plantarflexion and dorsiflexion only occur?
at the ankle joint.
What does plantarflexion represent?
moving the ankle point of your foot to the earth (Stepping on a car’s gas pedal)
what does dorsiflexion represent?
the opposite of plantarflexion. moving the ankle to let off the gas pedal.
where do the movements of protraction and retraction occur?
scapula, head, clavicle, and jaw
what does protraction mean?
occurs when one of these structures moves anteriorly.
what does retraction mean?
(retreat) moves posteriorly
what does deviation mean?
wander from the usual course.
where does the movement of lateral deviation occur?
at the mandible during chewing, or talking
Where does opposition occur?
only at the first carpometacarpal joint, ( commonly the saddle joint of the thumb)
how does opposition occur?
when the thumb crossed paths with palm toward the last pinkie finger.
