Chapter 5 - Human Movement Science Flashcards
The science concerned with the internal and external forces acting on the human body and the effects produced by these forces
Biomechanics
positioned above a point of reference
superior
positioned below a point of reference
inferior
positioned nearest the center of the body, or point of reference
proximal
positioned farthest from the center of the body, or point of referene
distal
on the front of the body
anterior
on the back of the body
posterior
positioned neat the middle of the body
medial
positioned toward the outside of the body
lateral
positioned on the opposite side of the body
contralateral
positioned on the same side of the body
ipsilateral
the position with the body erect with the arms at the sides and the palms forward.
anatomic position
an imaginary bisector that divides the body into left and right halves
sagittal plane
A bending movement in which the relative angle between two adjacent segments dereases
flexion
Plane of motion occuring with flexion/extension on a coronal axis
Sagittal
Plane of motion occuring with adduction/abduction, lateral flexion, eversion/inversion on an anterior-posterior axis
Frontal
Plane of motion occuring with internal/external rotation, left/right rotation, horizontal adducction/abduction on a longitudinal plane
Transverse
Biceps curl, tricep push-down, squat, front lunge, calf raise, walking, running, vertical jumping, climbing stairs all occur in which plane of motion?
Sagittal
Side lateral raise, side lunge, and side shuffle all occur in which plane of motion?
Frontal
Trunk rotation, throwing, golfing, and swinging a bat all occur in which plane of motion?
Transverse
Flexion where toe points up toward you.
Dorsiflexion
Flexion where toe point down and away.
Plantar flexion
Flexion where knee bends leg backward as in a hamstring curl.
Knee flexion
extension where knee direct the foot out and away from the body.
knee extension
high knee leg raise is an example of which type of flexion?
hip flexion; femoral-on-pelvic rotation
bending forward hinging at the hip as in a deadlift is an example of what type of flexion?
Hip flexion: pelvic-on-femoral rotation
extending the leg straight and directly backwards is an example of?
hip extension
bending the upper back and head forward is an example of spinal ___________ .
Flexion
bending the head and upper back backwards is an example of spinal ________ .
Extension
bending at the elbow bringin the hand toward the shoulder is an example of elbow __________ .
Flexion
hinging at the elbow and extending the arm down and outward is an example of Elbow ________ .
Extension
bringing the arm overhead is an example of shoulder ___________ .
Flexion
