Q

rectilinear motion

A

movement in straight line (car on the road, wheelchair on path)

20
Q

curvilinear motion

A

curved path

21
Q

angular motion

A

(rotary)

  • movement of object around a fixed point traveling through an arc
  • all parts move through same angle, in same direction but not same distance
  • example is shooting a basketball
22
Q

osteokinematics

A

bone movement in space

23
Q

flexion

A

making joint angle smaller (shortening angle)

A

(lateral)

rotating away from the midline

33
Q
