Q

Lateral (opposite)

A

Structure is further from the median plane

20
Q

Palmer Surface

A

Surface of the hands and fingers corresponding to the palm

21
Q

Dorsal Surface

A

surface of the hands and feet and digits corresponding to the dorsum (opposite of palm)

22
Q

Plantar Surface

A

Surface of foot and toes corresponding to the sole

23
Q

Proximal (opposite)

A

closer to the attachment of the limb/center of the body (Distal)

24
Q

Distal (opposite)

A

Further from the attachment of the limb (proximal)

25
Q

Ipsilateral

A

something occurring on the same side of the body relative to another structure

26
Q

Contralateral

A

Occurring on the opposite side of the body relative to another structure (right hand is contralateral to L foot)

27
Q

What planes do flexion and extension movements occur in?

A

Saggital

28
Q

Flexion (opposite)

A

(extension) bending or decreasing the angle between bones or parts of the body. usually move anteriorly

29
Q

Extension (opposite)

A

(flexion) increasing the angle between bones or parts of the body. usually move posterior direction

30
Q

Dorsiflexion

A

flexion at the ankle joint when walking uphill or lifting the front of the foot off the ground. decreases the angle between the dorsum (top) of the foot and the leg

31
Q

Plantarflexion

A

decreases

32
Q

Plantarflexion

A

bends the foot and toes toward the ground beyond normal limit, like when on tip toes

33
Q

Hyperextension

A

extension of a limb or part beyond the normal limit

34
Q

What plane do abduction and adduction occur at

A

Frontal plane

35
Q

Abduction

A

moving away from the median plane (except for digits)

36
Q

Adduction

A

Moving towards median plane

37
Q

abduction/adduction of digits

A

spreading them apart

38
Q

describe movement of thumb in terms of planes

A

Thumb flex/extend in frontal plane and adduct/abduct in saggital

39
Q

circumduction

A

sequential flexion, abduction, extension, adduction in such a way that the distal end moves in a circle

40
Q

rotation

A

turning or revolving a part of the body around its longitudinal axis like turning your head sideways

41
Q

Eversion

A

moves the sole of the foot away from the median plane turning the sole laterally (also dorsiflexed)

42
Q

Inversion

A

moves the sole of the foot towards the median plane so sole faces medially. fully inverted also means plantarflexed

43
Q

opposition (opposite)

A

bring first digit (thumb) to another digit pad (reposition)

44
Q

reposition (opposite)

A

moving 1st digit (thumb) back from position of opposition back to its anatomical position

45
Q

Protrusion

A

moving anteriorly

46
Q

Retrusion

A

Movement posteriorly
