Chapter 1 Flashcards
Introduction
Ipsilateral
same side
What is defined as anatomical position?
standing
facing forward
feet together
palms forward
Contralateral
opposite side
unilateral
one side
Bilateral
two sides
- muscle contraction and movement
Relationship between function and form
one influences the other
Sagittal planes splits the body into what
right and left
Sagittal plane rotates around what axis
Mediolateral axis
flexion, extension, hyperextension are all movements apart of what plane
sagittal plane
What are examples of moving in the sagittal plane?
Running and squatting
The frontal Plane splits the body into what
Front and back
What axis does the frontal plane rotates about
Anteroposterior
abduction, adduction, elevation, and depression are all part of what plane
Frontal
What is an example of movements performed in the frontal plane
jumping jacks
The transverse plane splits the body into what
top and bottom
the transverse plane rotates about what axis
Superoinferior
what type of rotation is performed in the transverse plane
twisting ( trunk/spine)
internal roation
external rotation are movements performed in what plane?
transverse
What is degrees of freedom?
way to quantify mobility of a joint
# planes able to travel= degrees of freedom
stability vs mobility
some joints are more stable and have less motion available than others
