Chapter 1 - Basic Information Flashcards
Kinetics
forces causing movement
Kinematics
time, space and mass aspect of a moving system
What body parts are in the trunk?
Thorax and Abdomen
What body parts are in the upper extremities?
Arm, forearm, and hand
What body parts are in the lower extremities?
Thigh, leg, and foot
Medial
location or position toward the midline
Lateral
location or position farther from the midline
Anterior
front of the body or positioned closer to the front
another name is ventral
Posterior
back of the body or more toward the back
Proximal
toward the trunk
Superior
location of the body that is above another or refers to the upper surface of an organ/structure
Inferior
indicated a body part that is below another or refers to the lower surface of an organ/structure
Cranial
position/structure close to the head
Caudal
position/structure closer to the feet
Supine
a person is lying straight, with the face or anterior surface pointed upward
Prone
a person is horizontal, with the face, or anterior surface pointed downward
Bilateral
both sides
Contralateral
opposite side
Ipsilateral
same side of the body
Linear motion
occurs in a more or less straight line from one location to abother
Rectilinear motion
move that occurs in a straight line
Angular motion
movement of an object around a fixed point (axis)
Osteokinematics
movements that occur at synovial joints
Arthrokinematics
joint surface movement (spin, glide, roll)
Flexion
bending movement of one bone on another, bringing the two segments together and causing a decrease in the joint angle
Palmar Flexion
flexion at the wrist
Plantar Flexion
flexion at the ankle
Extension
the straightening movement of one bone away from another, causing an increase of the joint angle
Hyperextension
continuation of the extension beyond the anatomical position
Dorsiflexsion
extension at the wrist and ankle joints - refers to the movement toward the dorsum of the arm and foot (superior aspect)
Abduction
movement away from the midline of the body
Adduction
movement towards the midline
Radial deviation
hand moves laterally or toward the thumb side
Ulnar deviation
hand moves medially from the anatomical position toward the little finger side at the wrist
Lateral Bending
trunk moves sideways
Circumduction
motion that descirbes circular, cone-shaped pattern and involes a combinatino of flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction
Medial rotation
anterior surch rolls inward toward the midline
Lateral rotation
anterior surface rills outward, away from the midline
Supination
palm of the hand faces forward/anteriorly
Pronation
Palm facing backward/posteriorly
Inversion
moving the sole of the foot inward at the ankle
Eversion
outward movement of the foot at the ankle
Protraction
linear movement along a plane parallel to the ground and away from the posterior midline
Retraction
Linear movement in the same plane but toward the posterior midline
