Answer 6

above v below

Question 7

Plantar

Answer 7

soles of the feet

Question 8

sinistral v dextral

Answer 8

left v right

Question 9

superficial v deep

Answer 9

near the surface of the body`v away from the surface

Question 10

peripheral

Answer 10

around

Question 11

contralateral

Answer 11

opposite side

Question 12

Coronal or Frontal Plane

Answer 12

bisects anterior-posterior,
divides the body into front half and back half

Question 13

MT
Tissue Deformation

Answer 13

Under force and in the presence of friction, if tissue will not move it will change shape

Methods
compression
static
ischemic
gliding
stroking
torsion (twisting)
kneading
rolling
pulling
wringing
fascial torquing
petrissage
shearing
friction
superficial
linear
circular
cross-fiber
muscle-layer separation
elongation
limb pulling
pin-and-stretch
traction
fascial spreading
cross-hand stretch
oscillating
percussive
static
movement of limb, digit, joint
hot-cold applications

Question 14

Distal

Answer 14

end furthest from attachment

Question 15

distal

Answer 15

away from

Question 16

dorsal

Answer 16

back side

Question 17

extension v flexion

Answer 17

backward bending v forward bending

Question 18

external v internal

Answer 18

outside the body v inside the body

Question 19

force

Answer 19

external effort causing object to change movement or shape
application techniques = elongating, gliding, kneading, pulling, pushing, twisting
vector considerations
point of application
magnitude (intensity) dependent upon force applied and friction resisting
direction

internal force is related to ANS processes, such as in digestion–the feeling of full stomach, cramping, etc

Question 20

friction

Answer 20

force which impedes change of movement or shape

Question 21

kimatics

Answer 21

branch of mechanics involving aspects of time, space, and mass in a moving system

Question 22

Lateral

Answer 22

side, farthest from midline

Question 23

biomechanics

Answer 23

principles and methods of mechanics applied to the structure and function of the body

Question 24

Medial

Answer 24

at the midline

Question 25

muscles, movement

Answer 25

abductor - moves away from midline adductor - moves toward midline extensor - straightens a part flexor - bends a part depressor - lowers a part levitator - raises a part tensor - tightens a part

Question 26

quality of life Essentials ch3 p91-93

Answer 26

an individuals perception of one's position in terms of goals, expectations, standards, concerns, in context of culture and personal values

Question 27

kinesiology

Answer 27

study of movement combining the fields of anatomy, physiology, physics, and geometry as it relates to human movement

Question 28

Posterior or Dorsal

Answer 28

back

Question 29

Pressure

Answer 29

amount of force applied 90 = perpendicular 45 = more horizontal pressure = force v friction

Question 30

Proximal

Answer 30

end to point of attachment

Question 31

ipsilateral

Answer 31

same side

Question 32

Saggital or Medial Plane

Answer 32

bisects left-right, divides the body in half at the the vertical midline

Question 33

adduction

Answer 33

movement toward midline

Question 34

symphysis

Answer 34

place where 2 bones are fused or joined with an synarthroses joint

Question 35

mechanics

Answer 35

branch of physics dealing with the study of forces and the motion produced

Question 36

abduction

Answer 36

movement away from the midline

Question 37

Tissue Load

Answer 37

application of force and presence of friction creates stress strain = change in shape of tissue as a result of tissue stress simple load = anatomic external force applied which has single direction compression = two opposing forces moving towards one another resulting in change in shape to shorter, thicker combine load = anatomic external foce applied which has multiple directions tensile stress (tension) = two opposing forces moving in opposite direction, resulting in stretching shear stress = two parallel forces moving in opposite direction, resulting in sliding torsion is twisting shear stress bedning is both compression on one side and tension on the other side

Question 38

Transverse Plane

Answer 38

bisects upper-lower

Question 39

motion

Answer 39

change in position with respect to some reference frame

Question 40

kinetics

Answer 40

forces that cause movement in a system

Question 41

appendicular body

Answer 41

limbs and parts thereof

Question 42

axial body

Answer 42

head and trunk of body with parts thereof
