L2 Flashcards
Eversion
Sole of the foot turs away from midline
Inversion
Sole of foot faces towards midline
Supination
Palm faces anterior
Pronation
Palm faces posterior
Medial rotation
Internal rotation
Lateral rotation
External rotation
Rotation
Rotation around the long axis of a joint
Circumduction
Combination of: - Flexion - Abduction - Extension - Adduction NO rotation
Adduction
Movement at joint moves limb towards midline
Abduction
Movement at joint moves limb away from midline
Plantarflexion
Toes pointing towards ground
Dorsiflexion
Toes brought up towards the face
Extension
- Angular movement
- Increases angle
Flexion
- Angular movement
- Decreases angle
Transverse movement
rotating movements
Coronal movement
Side to side movements
Sagittal movement
Back and forward movements
Transverse
Divides the body into top and bottom sections
Coronal
Divides the body into front and back sections
Sagittal
Divides the body into left and right pieces
Superficial
Closer to the surface
Deep
Further from the surface
Distal
Part of a limb that is further away to the attachment of the body
Proximal
Part of a limb that is closer to the attachment of the body
Lateral
Away from the midline
Medial
Towards the midline
Inferior
Below
Superior
Above
Posterior
Towards the back
Anterior
Towards the front
Anatomical Position
- Upright
- Face forwards
- Feet together
- Palms face forwards
- Remains the same regardless of movement
Feedfoward
When there is an anticipation of an event that will alter a controlled variable, so something may be done to minimise the effect
Feedback
When the controlled variable move too far from the set point and responses from the body attempt to move the variable back to “normal”
Joint at the neck
Atlanto axial joint
Joint at the elbow
Proximal radio-ulnar joint
Joint at the wrist
Distal radio-ulnar joint
