Intro To Movement

Question 1

What does anterior mean

Answer 1

Facing towards the front

Question 2

What does posterior mean

Answer 2

Facing towards the back

Question 3

What does medial mean

Answer 3

Closer to the body’s midline

Question 4

What does lateral mean

Answer 4

Further from the body’s midline

Question 5

What does deep mean

Answer 5

Nearer to the inside
For example the heart is deep

Question 6

What does superficial mean

Answer 6

Closer to the outside
For example skin or hair

Question 7

What does superficial mean

Answer 7

Located at the top
(Super means higher so above)

Question 8

What does inferior means

Answer 8

Located towards the bottom

Question 9

What does proximal mean

Answer 9

Located closer to a major point ( closer to the trunk of the body)

Question 10

What does distal mean

Answer 10

Further from a major point (further away from the trunk of the body

Question 11

What does unilateral mean

Answer 11

One side of the body
E.g unilateral arm movement, move one arm

Question 12

What does bilateral mean

Answer 12

Both sides of the body
Eg move your arms bilaterally, you would move both arms at the same time

Question 13

What does ipsilateral mean

Answer 13

The same side
Eg the same arm and leg move

Question 14

What does contralateral mean

Answer 14

Opposite sides move
Eg opposite arm and leg move

Question 15

Demonstrate the anatomical positon

Answer 15

Cheek the position is correct.
- standing upright
- legs together
- toes pointing forward
- arms by side
-face of Palms directed forward.

Question 16

What is an anatomical plane

Answer 16

An anatomical plane is an imaginary 2d surface passing through the body

Question 17

What are the 3 anatomical planes

Answer 17

Frontal
Sagittal
transverse

Question 18

What is the frontal plane

Answer 18

The frontal plane divides the body into front and back
movements of the body away from the midline is called abduction, movements of the body towards the midline is called adduction

Question 19

What is the sagittal plane

Answer 19

The Sagittal plane divides the body into right and left parts.
Movements Of the body parts forwards is called flexion
Movements of the body parts backwards is called extension

Question 20

What is the transverse plane

Answer 20

’ The transverse plane divides the body into upper and lower parts.
movement = rotation of body parts outwards is called external (lateral)
Movements = rotation of body parts inwards is called internal rotation (medial)

Question 21

What plane does the face of a clock represent.

Answer 21

A frontal plane

Question 22

What are axes

Answer 22

Axes are imaginary lines passing through the body or joints
they in perpendicular to anatomicalplanes,

Question 23

What are the 3 axes of rotation

Answer 23

Horizontal axes
vertical axes
anteroposterior axes (AP)

Question 24

What axes should shoulder flexion and extension be on.

Answer 24

The arm would move in the horizontal axes

Question 25

What axes would shoulder adduction and abduction be on?

Answer 25

The shoulder would move on the vertical axes.

Question 26

What axes would shoulder external and internal rotation be on?

Answer 26

Shoulder rotation would be on the ap axes
