Movement Flashcards
What do normal human movements require?
Integration of all body systems; need all functioning systems
What would result from an impairment of one body system?
Impact on human movement, but extent of impact may differ
What is the anatomical position?
Standing in an upright posture
Feet parallel and close
Palms forward
All joint angles are zero in this position
Define the following terms:
1. Anterior
2. Posterior
3. Inferior (infra)
4. Superior (supra)
5. Distal
6. Proximal
7. Lateral
8. Medial
- Anterior: in front
- Posterior: behind
- Inferior (infra): below
- Superior (supra): above
- Distal: away from centre/midline of body
- Proximal: Nearest to trunk/point of region
- Lateral: On or to the side
- Medial: relating to middle/centre
Define the following terms:
1. Contralateral
2. Ipsilateral
3. Bilateral
4. Deep
5. Superficial
6. Prone
7. Supine
- Contralateral: pertaining to opposite side
- Ipsilateral: on the same side
- Bilateral: Relating to R and L sides of body
- Deep: beneath/below surface
- Superficial: near the surface
- Prone: lie on stomach
- Supine: lie on back
What are part of the axial region?
- Cephalic (Head)
- Cervical (Neck)
- Trunk (Thoracic & Lumbar)
What are part of the appendicular regions?
Upper limbs
Lower limbs
What is the sagittal planes of motion?
Divides body into 2 equal, symmetrical halves (R and L half
What is the frontal/coronal planes of motion?
Divides the body into anterior (front) & posterior (back) halves
What is the transverse/horizontal planes of motion?
Divides body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) halves
Where is the axes of motion?
The axis around which the movement takes place is always perpendicular to the plane in which it occurs
Mediolateral (ML) axis
Same orientation as frontal plane
Runs perpendicular to sagittal plane
aka frontal/lateral/coronal axis
Anteroposterior (AP) Axis
Same orientation as sagittal plane
Runs perpendicular to frontal plane
aka sagittal axis
Supra-inferior (SI) Axis
Runs perpendicular to transverse plane
aka long/vertical axis
Diagonal/oblique axis
Perpendicular to diagonal plane
What are the 5 primary movements for ADLs (Activities for Daily Living)?
- Bending/raising & Lifting lowering movements (e.g. squats)
- Single-leg movements
- Pushing movements
- Pulling movements
- Rotational movements
What other movements are required for ADLs?
- Hinge
- Lunge
- Walking
- Carrying
- Bend
- Twist
- Gait
Conjunct rotation
- Only occurs in joints that can rotate internally & externally
- Volitional control in joints with 3 degrees of freedom (df)
- Joints with <3 df, this occurs as part of movement but not voluntary control
What are the two basic types of movement?
- Linear (translatory)
- Angular (rotatory)
What is osteokinematic?
- The movement of bones
- Physiologic movements
- E.g. flexion/extension, adductiion/abduction
What is arthrokinematic?
- Movement of joints; occurs at the joint surfaces
- Referred to as accessory motion or joint-play motion
What are the joint structure types? (4)
- Synarthrodial joints
- Amphiarthrodial joints
- Diarthrodial (synovial) joints
- Biaxial joints
What are synarthrodial sutures and an example?
Joints fused together
E.g. Skull - parts of the skull joined tgt by these - inflexible, cannot be moved
Examples of syndemosis joint
Fibula & tibia
Radius & ulna
What are the types of Synarthrodial joints?
Synarthrodial sutures
Syndesmosis
