Q

Protraction

A

Anterior movement (towards front of body) of the ARM at the SHOULDER

17
Q

Lateral Flexion

A

Bending the spine to the side away from the centre line of body

18
Q

What is Circumduction?

A

A combination of Flexion, extension, ABduction and ADduction

A combination of joint flexing bent, joint straightening, limbs moving away from medial line and limbs moving back towards medial line.

19
Q

What type of movement does Circumduction cause?

A

Circular Movement

20
Q

When describing hand movement, where is considered to be the midline?

A

Running down the middle of the middle finger

21
Q

For the hand what is abduction?

A

When finger or thumb moves away from medial line

22
Q

What is thumb ABduction?

A

When thumb moves away from plane of the hand (palm)
Also called palmar ABduction

23
Q

Thumb ADuction

A

When Thumb returns back to the plane of the hand

24
Q

What is thumb opposition?

A

When thumb can oppose/touch other digits

25
Q

Reposition

A

Opposite of Opposition
Both Thumb and digit return

26
Q

Finger Flexion differs to Thumb Flexion how?

A

Finger Flexion happens in Sagittal Plane
Thumb Flexion happens in the Coronal/Frontal Plane

27
Q

Why does the plane of Flexion differ between the thumb and fingers

A

The thumb is rotated 90 degrees relative to the other fingers during development

28
Q

Flexion of elbow brings forearm anteriorly
But Flexion of knee moves leg posteriorly
WHY IS THIS THE CASE?

A

During Fetal Development:
Upper limbs rotate OUTWARDS (Remember arms reach out)
Lower limbs rotate INWARDS

29
Q

What plane does Flexion and Extension occur in?

A

Sagittal Plane (side on view)

30
Q

What plane does ABduction and ADuction occur in?

A

Coronal/frontal plane

31
Q

What plane does lateral and medial rotation occur in?

A

Transverse plane
