Ch. 1 & 2 Flashcards
Planes, Joints, Bones
Anteroposterior (AP) Plane
Divides the body into right and left halves
Sagittal Plane
Divides the body into right and left halves
Frontal Plane
Divides the body into front and back
Coronal Plane
Divides the body into front and back
Transverse Plane
Divides body into superior and inferior
Axial/Horizontal Plane
Divides body into superior and inferor
Frontal/Mediolateral Axis
Axis for Sagittal plane
Runs medial to lateral
Sagittal/Anteroposterior Axis
Axis for frontal plane
Runs anterior to posterior
Vertical/Longitudinal Axis
Axis for Transverse Plane
Runs head to toes
Fetal Position
Lying on either side
spine,head and extremities flexed inwards
Hook Lying
Supine
Hips flexed 45
Knees flexed 90
Feet flat on table
(Think crunches stance)
AKA Dorsal Recumbent
Lateral Recumbent
Lying on their side
knees and hips straight or slightly flexed
(Think recovery position)
Long Sitting
Sitting with legs extended forward and toes pointed
Trunk erect and hands on hips or on table
Short Sitting
Sitting upright with knees flexed and legs hanging over the edge
Ipsilateral
On the same side
Volar
Relating to the palm
Anteversion
excessive rotation forward in the transverse plane
(toes towards the midline)
Retroversion
excessive rotation backwards in the transverse plane
(toes away from midline)
Kyphosis
Increased curve of the spine outward in the sagittal place
(Hunch Back)
Lordosis
Increased curve of the spine inward in the sagittal place
Recurvatum
bending backward in the sagittal plane
hyperextension of the knees
Scoliosis
lateral curve of the spine in the frontal plane
Valgus
Outward angle of distal segment of joint in the frontal plane
Varus
inward angle of distal segment of a joint in the frontal plane
Diagonal/Oblique Plane
Combo of more than 1 plane of motion
High Diagonal Plane
Used for overhand movements
Lower Diagonal planes
one for underhand movements
one for lower extremity movements
Diagonal/Oblique Axis
Runs at a right angle to diagonal Plane
Long Bones
Long cylindrical shaft
Wide protruding ends
serve as levers for the body
Short Bones
Small and cube shaped
proportionally large articular surface
provide shock absorption
Flat Bones
have a curved surface
varying from thick to thin
generally provide protection
Irregular Bones
irregularly shaped
include bones throughout the spine, ischium,pubis, and maxilla
