Ch.5 Planes Of Motion, Axes, and Joint Motion Flashcards
The Sagittal plane - defined, axis, and motions
Bisector dividing the body into left and right halves
Axis: coronal
Motions: flexion and extension
The frontal plane - defined , axis, and movement
Bisector dividing the body into front and back halves
Axis: anterior/posterior
Movement: addiction/abduction
Lateral flexion
Eversion/inversion
Scapular motion - movement
hint:4
Retraction
Protraction
Depression
Elevation
The transverse plane - defined, axis, movement
Bisector dividing the body into top Andy bottom halves
Axis: longitudinal or vertical
Movements: Internal rotation External rotation Left right rotation Horizontal adduction Horizontal abduction
Anatomic position
The position with the body erect with the arms at the sides and the palms forward
Hyperextension
Extension of a joint beyond the normal limit of range of motion
Abduction (frontal plane)
A movement away from the midline of the body
Adduction (frontal plane)
A movement back towards the midline of the body
Flexion (Sagittal)
Bending movement in which the relative angle between two adjacent segments decreases
Internal Rotation ( transverse plane)
Rotation of a joint toward the middle of the body
Horizontal abduction (transverse plane)
Movement of the arm or thigh from an anterior position and to a lateral position
Extension (frontal plane)
A straightening movement in which the relative angle between two adjacent segments increases
External rotation (transverse plane)
Rotation of a joint away from the midline of the body
Horizontal adduction ( transverse plane)
Movement of arm or thigh from a lateral position to an anterior position
Scapular retraction (adduction)
Shoulder blades come closer together towards midline
