joint movements Flashcards
osteokinematics
movement of bones around a joint
extension
straightening movement increasing joint angle
flexion
bending movement decreasing joint angle
hypertension
continuation of extension beyond anatomical postition
lateral flexion
trunk/neck more sideways closer to hip/shoulders
adduction
movement towards midline
abduction
movement aways from midline
horizontal adduction
@ shoulder level, forward movement across body
horizontal abduction
@ shoulder level, backward movement
anterior tilt
hips rotate forward
posterior tilt
hips rotate backward
lateral tilt
one side of hip higher than other
radial deviation
hands move laterally, towards the thumb side
ulnar deviation
hands move medially towards pinky
circumduction
circular, cone-shaped pattern
medial/internal rotation
anterior surface rolls inwards towards midline
lateral/external rotation
anterior surface rolls outward, away from midline
elevation
upward/superior movement
depression
downward/inferior movement(scapula)
protraction
movement along a plane parallel to ground an away from midline
upward rotation
moving scapula laterally upward (chest press)
downward rotation
moving scapula medially downward (row)
retraction
movement in same plane but towards midline
supination
palm up
pronation
palm down
