What happens in sagittal plane?
Flexion and Extension
What is the axis of the sagittal plane?
Transverse Axis
What happens in transverse plane?
Rotation
What is the axis of the transverse plane?
Vertical (Superior/Inferior) Axis
What happens in the frontal/coronal plane?
Sidebending
What is the axis of the coronal plane?
Sagittal Axis
What is an elastic end feel?
Like a rubber band
What is an abrupt end feel?
Osteoarthritis or hinge joint
What is a hard end feel?
Somatic Dysfunction
What is an empty end feel?
Stops due to guarding
-patient has pain
What is a crisp end feel?
Involuntary muscle guarding as in pinched nerve
What is static flexibility?
Maximal ROM a joint can achieve with an externally applied force
What is flexibility?
ROM in joint or group of joins or the ability to move joints effectively through a complete range of motion
What is a functional unit?
Two vertebrate
Associated neurovascular
Other soft tissues
What is a coupled motion?
Consistent association of a motion along or about one axis
