ch 5 Flashcards
rotary motion
movement around an axis and implies that the levers (bones) rotate around the axis (joints)
torque
force that produces rotation; turning effect of the joint
flexion
bending movement; decreases relative angle between segments
sagittal plane
bicep curl, tricep pushdown, squat
extension
straightening movement; increases relative angle between segments
sagittal plane
bicep curl, tricep pushdown, squat
plantarflexion
extension at the ankle
sagittal, toes pointed toward ground
dorsiflexion
flexion at the ankle, sagittal, toes flexed
abduction
movement in frontal plane away from the middle
frontal plane
side lateral raise, side lunge, side shuffle
ab duck station- a duck kidnaps a kid, takes it away from its home
adduction
movement in frontal plane toward the middle
frontal plane
side lateral raise, side lunge, side shuffle
horizontal abduction
transverse plane arm movement from anterior to lateral
transverse plane
chest flies
horizontal adduction
transverse plane arm movement from lateral to anterior
transverse plane
chest flies
internal rotation
rotation toward the middle of the body
transverse plane
throwing, golfing, swinging a bat, trunk rotation
external rotation
rotation away from the middle of the body
transverse plane
throwing, golfing, swinging a bat, trunk rotation
Concentric
moving in opposite direction of force, accelerates or produces force; muscle shortens
Eccentric
muscle develops tension while lengthening; decelerates force; the “negative”; landing from a jump, lowering of squat
Isometric
muscular force equal to resistive force, stabilizes force; no change in muscle length
