Intro to Musculoskeletal Movement

Question 1

What planes do body motion occur?

Answer 1

Horizontal, frontal, and sagittal

Question 2

Horizontal plane motion and example of what it’s like

Answer 2

around longitudinal (superior-inferior), rotating motion, merry go round

Question 3

Frontal plane motion and example of what it’s like

Answer 3

around anterior-posterior, Deviation from midline or limb axis, wheel of fortune

Question 4

Sagittal plane motion and example of what it’s like

Answer 4

medio-lateral, Flexion or extension, water mill

Question 5

Type of rotation for each synovial joint

Answer 5

Condylar: flexion/extension and Ab/adduction, Plane: gliding, Hinge: flexion and extension, Ball and socket: movement around multiple axis, Saddle: flexion/extension and ab/adduction, Pivot: rotation

Question 6

Abduction/Adduction

Answer 6

deviating away/moving toward midline

Question 7

Head, spine, and trunk planes of motion and example

Answer 7

Sagittal plane: flexion (bending forward) and extension (leaning back)
Frontal: lateral flexion (leaning to one side)
Horizontal: rotation (twisting)

Question 8

Shoulder and arm planes of motion and example

Answer 8

Sagittal plane: flexion and extension
Frontal: ab/adduction
Horizontal: internal (medial) and external (lateral) rotation

Question 9

Circumduction

Answer 9

Combines all planes of motion for arm and shoulder

Question 10

Elbow and forearm planes of motion and example

Answer 10

Sagittal: flexion and extension
Horizontal: pronation and supination

Question 13

Knee and leg planes of motion and example

Answer 13

Sagittal: flexion and extension

Question 14

Ankle and foot planes of motion and example

Answer 14

Sagittal: dorsiflexion (lifting foot up) and plantarflexion (pointing toes)
Frontal: eversion and inversion

Question 15

Translational movement in body

Answer 15

Elevation and depression (shrugging shoulders)

Protraction/retraction (chicken pecking)
