Q

THE ANATOMIC POSITION

A

THE ANATOMIC POSITION
The anatomic position is a reference
position that defines specific surfaces
and planes of the body.

The anatomic position is an upright position
with arms abducted slightly (down), palms
forward, and head and feet directed
straight ahead

Q

Extension

A

Extension
increases the angle as

Backward or posterior
flexion (e.g. Wrist/ hand is
extended
beyond the neutral
position)

Dorsiflexion of foot
To decrease the angle
(flex) between the dorsum

upward.

Q

Plantar flexion

A

Plantar flexion of
foot Extending the
ankle joint, moving foot
and toes downward from
the normal position;

(posterior) surface of
the foot

Q

Eversion

A

Eversion
an outward stress
movement of the foot
at the ankle joint
(The plantar surface (sole) of the
foot is turned or rotated away from
the median plane of the body (the
sole faces in a more
lateral direction)

25
Inversion
Inversion inward stress movement of the foot as applied to the foot without rotation of the leg (The plantar surface (sole) of the foot is turned or rotated toward the median plane)
26
Medial / internal reflection
Medial (internal) rotation a rotation or turning of a body part with movement of the anterior aspect of the part toward the inside, or median plane
27
Lateral rotation
Lateral rotation a rotation of an anterior body part toward the outside, or away from the median plane
28
Abduction
Abduction the lateral movement of the arm or leg away from the body (or one finger from another)
29
Adduction
Adduction a movement of arm or leg toward the body, to draw toward a centre or medial line
30
Supination
Supination a rotational movement of the hand into the anatomic position (palm up in supine position or forward in erect position). (This movement rotates the radius of the forearm laterally along its long axis)
31
Pronation
Pronation a rotation of the hand into the opposite of the anatomic position (palm down or back)
32
Protraction
movement forward from a normal position Referring to head
33
Retraction
Retraction a movement backward or the condition of being drawn back
34
Circumduction
Circumduction Means to move around in the form of a circle (sequential movements of flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction, resulting in a cone-type movement at any joint where the four movements are possible, e.g. fingers, wrist, arm, leg)
35
Elevation
Elevation Elevation is a lifting, raising, or moving of a part superiorly.
36
Depression
Depression is a letting down, lowering, or moving of a part Inferiorly
37
Rotation
To turn or rotate the body on the X axis e.g. in the accompanying figure, the midsagittal plane of the entire body, including the head, is rotated
38
Tilt
Tilt is a slanting or tilting movement with respect to the long axis. (e.g. in the accompanying figure, no rotation of the head but a tilting/ slanting of the midsagittal plane of the head, which therefore is not parallel to the table top
39
Median Sagittal Plane:
Divides the body into right and left halves
40
Coronal plane :
Divides the body into anterior and posterior parts
41
Transverse / Axial plane :
Divides the body into superior and inferior parts
42
Erect :
Patient is seated or standing
43
Erect postero- anterior:
Patient is seated or standing with the anterior aspect against the image receptor
44
Erect antero- posterior:
Patient is seated or standing with the posterior aspect against the IR
45
Erect right/ left lateral:
Patient is seated or standing with the right or left side against the IR
46
Recumbent:
Patient is lying down
47
Supine dorsal recumbent):
Patient is lying on his back (face up
48
ventral recumbent):
Patient is lying on his stomach (face down)
49
lateral recumbent:
Patient is lying on his side (right/ left)
50
Semi-recumbent:
Patient is positioned partly between supine and sitting erect with the posterior aspect against the IR
51
Projection:
A description of the direction of the CR relative to aspects and planes of the body
52
Antero-posterior:
The projection of the central ray (CR) from anterior to posterior. This term describes the direction in which the CR travel, entering at the anterior aspect and exiting at the posterior
53
Postero-anterior:
The projection of the CR from posterior to anterior. The CR enters at the posterior surface and exits at the anterior surface (PA). A true PA without intentional rotation - requires the CR to be perpendicular to the coronal body plane and parallel to the sagittal plane
54
Oblique :
Oblique: The CR passes through the body along a transverse plane at a certain angle between the median sagittal plane (MSP) and coronal plane
55
Anterior oblique:
Anterior oblique: CR enters the posterior aspect of the patient and passes along a transverse plane at an angle to the MSP and exits from the anterior aspect of the patient
56
Posterior oblique:
Posterior oblique: CR enters the anterior aspect of the patient and passes along a transverse plane at an angle to the MSP and exits from the posterior aspect of the patient
57
Lateral oblique:
Lateral oblique: “CR enters one lateral aspect, passes along a transverse plane at an angle to the coronal plane and emerges from the opposite lateral aspect

Radiographic image ( projection )
Image of an object in the path of an x-ray beam is projected onto a device for capturing the image (IR) - a radiographic image is a projection of the object a radiographic image is a projection of the object.
81
View
Image formed on the retina of the eye or on the photographic film in a camera, where light travels from the object to the recording medium … An image is produced - that is a view of the object
