Q

What is the longitudinal axis?

A

it is directed vertically means the line is drawn vertically in the human body and the rotational movement occurs around the line. ( e.g. ballet spin/ pirouette )

Q

What is the anteroposterior axis?

A

it is directed along the sagittal plane meaning the line is draw in the from front to back and the rotational movement occurs in the frontal plane. ( e.g. cartwheel )

Q

What is the Mediolateral axis?

A

it is directed along the frontal plane means the line is drawn from left side of body to right side. the rotational movement occurs in the sagittal plane. ( e.g. swing my arms in 1 circle )

Q

What are the 4 Forms of motion?

A

1) Rectilinear motion
2) Curvilinear motion
3) Angular motion
4) General motion

18
Q

What is Rectilinear motion?

A

Movement that occurs along a straight line

19
Q

What is Curvilinear motion?

A

Movement that occurs along a curved line

20
Q

What is Angular Motion?

A

Rotation movement around an Axis

21
Q

What is General Motion?

A

A Combination of linear and angular motion.
(includes most of human motion)

22
Q

What is the Spatial Reference System and which is the most common?

A

1) It is a Standard for description of human motion
2) the most commonly used reference is the Cartesian Coordinate System
3) can be both +ve or -ve

23
Q

What is Flexion?

A

Example : Bringing forearm closer to upper arm during bicep curl

usually associated with bending to reduce angle between joints

24
Q

What is Extention?

A

Example: Straightening your arm after bicep curl

usually associated with straightening and increase angle between joints

25
Q

What is Hyperextension?

A

Hyperextension refers to the excessive extension or overextension of a joint beyond its normal range of motion in the opposite direction of flexion.

26
Q

What is Abduction?

A

Example: Opening your legs side to side

Abduction refers to the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body or the centerline of a limb.

27
Q

What is Adduction?

A

Example: Closing your legs side to side

Adduction refers to the movement of a body part toward the midline of the body or the centerline of a limb.

28
Q

What is Lateral Flexion?

A

Example: Tilting upper body side to side

Lateral flexion refers to the bending or tilting of the torso or neck sideways, away from the midline of the body.

29
Q

What is Radial Deviation?

A

Refers to the movement of the wrist and hand towards the thumb side of the forearm.

30
Q

What is Ulnar Deviation?

A

Refers to the movement of the wrist and hand towards the pinky side of the forearm.

31
Q

What is Elevation?

A

Example: Shoulder elevation Raising the shoulders towards the ears or lifting the arms upward.

Elevation refers to the upward movement or raising of a body part.

32
Q

What is Depression?

A

Example: Shoulder depression Lowering the shoulders from an elevated position or bringing the arms downward.

Refers to the downward movement or lowering of a body part.

33
Q

What is Eversion?

A

Eversion refers to the outward or lateral movement of the foot at the ankle joint

34
Q

What is Inversion?

A

Inversion refers to the inward or medial movement of the foot at the ankle joint

35
Q

What is Medial Rotation?

A

Medial rotation, also known as internal rotation, refers to the movement of a body part towards the midline of the body or towards the center of a limb involving rotation

Example: Twisting your leg inside

36
Q

What is Lateral Rotation?

A

Lateral rotation, also known as external rotation, refers to the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body or away from the center of a limb involving rotation

Example: Twisting your Leg outside

37
Q

What is Supination?

A

Supination refers to the rotational movement of the forearm and hand that results in the palm facing upward or forward.

38
Q

What is Pronation?

A

Pronation refers to the rotational movement of the forearm and hand that results in the palm facing downward or inward.

39
Q

What is Horizontal Abduction?

A

Example: Horizontal abduction of the shoulder: Moving the arm away from the body horizontally, as in opening the arms out to the sides or performing a “T” shape with the body.

40
Q

What is Horizontal Adduction?

A

Example: Horizontal adduction of the shoulder Bringing the arm across the front of the body horizontally, as in hugging oneself or crossing the arms in front of the chest.
