Question 1

what does sagittal plane mean? example?

Answer 1

splits the body into right and left halves. elbow flexion / standing biceps curl.

Question 2

what is the frontal plane? example?

Answer 2

splits the body into front and back halves. lateral flexion of trunk.

Question 3

what is the horizontal plane? example?

Answer 3

splits the body into top and bottom halves. trunk rotation.

Question 4

what is scapular abduction (protraction)? example?

Answer 4

joint movement away from anatomical position in the frontal plane or in the transverse plane, when joint motion is moving from a position of adduction to, or past neutral.

Question 5

what is scapular adduction (retraction)? example?

Answer 5

joint movement returning to anatomical position or crossing the midline of the body in the frontal plane or the transverse plane.

Question 6

what does superior mean?

Answer 6

the position above

Question 7

(T/F) ? the term proximal means away from the center of the body.

Answer 7

false. proximal is nearest to the trunk.

Question 8

Question 9

(T/F) ? there term unilateral means one side.

Answer 9

true

Question 10

what does flexion mean? example?

Answer 10

flexion occurs when the joint motion is moving away from neutral in the sagittal plane or if past neutral in a position of extension, is moving back to neutral. elbow flexion - curl.

Question 11

what does extension mean? example?

Answer 11

extension occurs when the joint motion is moving from a position of flexion back to, or past anatomical neutral in the sagittal plane. elbow extension / triceps push-down.
