Q

What occurs during flexion?

A

bending/folding of a part “flexing muscles”. Decreases the angle btw 2 bones at the joint

Q

What occurs during extension?

A

16
Q

In what plane does flexion & extension occur in?

A

Sagittal plane

17
Q

What occurs during abduction?

A

movement away from the medial plane of the body

18
Q

What occurs during adduction?

A

reverse of abduction - movement towards the medial plane

19
Q

In what plane does abduction & adduction occur?

A

Coronal plane

20
Q

What occurs during Inversion?

A

IN - turns the sole of the foot in - sole of foot faces towards the midline

21
Q

What occurs during Eversion

A

EXIT- turns it outward - sole of foot turns away from midline

22
Q

What occurs during Pronation?

A

Posterior - Palm faces posterior

23
Q

What occurs during Supination?

A

“spider man” - palm faces anterior

24
Q

What is circumdution?

A

Generation of circular movement which is a combination of extension, flexion, abduction & adduction

25
What is rotation?
The pivoting of a bone on its own axis - rotation/turning of bone at the joint around its long axis e.g rotating your femur at the hip joint so that your toes are facing in
26
What plane doe rotation occur in?
Transverse plan
27
What is the anatomical position?
Body is standing upright, looking straight ahead with the feet & palms of hand facing forward forward. Reference position
28
The coronal plane runs vertically through the body separating it into:
anterior & posterior parts
29
The transverse plane runs horizontally through the body separating it into:
superior & inferior parts
30
The sagittal plane runs vertically through the body separating it into:
left & right
