Q

Caropmetacarpal Joint of Thumb: Flexion

A

CMC movement of the thumb toward the hand in the frontal plane.

24
Q

Caropmetacarpal Joint of Thumb: Extension (Long Abduction)

A

CMC movement of the thumb away from the hand in the frontal plane.

25
Q

Caropmetacarpal Joint of Thumb: Abduction (Short Abduction)

A

CMC movement of the thumb in the sagittal plane moving away from the palm.

26
Q

Caropmetacarpal Joint of Thumb: Adduction

A

CMC movement of the thumb in the sagittal plane from the abducted position back to the anatomical position.

27
Q

Caropmetacarpal Joint of Thumb: Thumb Opposition

A

CMC movement of the thumb across the palm to make contact with the fingers. This movement is the combination of CMC abduction, flexion, and internal rotation.

28
Q

Caropmetacarpal Joint of Thumb: Thumb Reposition

A

CMC movement of the thumb back to the anatomical position from opposition. This movement is the combination of CMC adduction, extension, and external rotation.

29
Q

Spine: Flexion

A

Anterior movement of the spinal column in the sagittal plane resulting in the trunk and/or head being moved anteriorly.

30
Q

Spine: Extension

A

Posterior movement of the spinal column in the sagittal plane resulting in the trunk and/or head being moved posteriorly.

31
Q

Spine: Lateral Flexion

A

Lateral movement of the spinal column in the frontal plane, away from the body midline.

32
Q

Spine: Reduction

A

Medial movement of the spinal column in the frontal plane from a position of lateral flexion back to the anatomical position.

33
Q

Spine: Rotation

A

Movement of the spinal column around its longitudinal axis. This movement can be identified as either right or left spinal rotation, or ipsilateral or contralateral spinal rotation.

34
Q

Hip: Flexion

A

Anterior movement of the femur in the sagittal plane.

35
Q

Hip: Extension

A

Posterior movement of the femur in the sagittal plane.

A

Medial movement of the femur in the frontal plane toward the body midline.

38
Q

Hip: External Rotation

A

Movement of the femur around its longitudinal axis, moving away from the body midline.

39
Q

Hip: Internal Rotation

A

Movement of the femur around its longitudinal axis, moving toward the body midline.

40
Q

Hip: Horizontal Abduction

A

Posterior movement of the femur while in a flexed and/or abducted position, moving away from the body midline.

41
Q

Hip: Horizontal Adduction

A

Anterior movement of the femur while in an abducted and/or flexed position, moving toward the body midline.

42
Q

Pelvis: Anterior Pelvic Rotation/Tilt

A

In the sagittal plane, the superior aspect of the pelvis rotates/tilts anteriorly.

43
Q

Pelvis: Posterior Pelvic Rotation/Tilt

A

In the sagittal plane, the superior aspect of the pelvis rotates/tilts posteriorly.

44
Q

Pelvis: Left Lateral Pelvic Rotation/Tilt

A

In the frontal plane, the left pelvis moves inferiorly in relation to the right pelvis. This is also known as left pelvic depression and right pelvic elevation (accomplished by left hip abduction and right hip adduction).

45
Q

Pelvis: Right Lateral Pelvic Rotation/Tilt

A

In the frontal plane, the right pelvis moves inferiorly in relation to the left pelvis. This is also known as right pelvic depression and left pelvic elevation (accomplished by right hip abduction and left hip adduction).

46
Q

Pelvis: Left Transverse Pelvic Rotation

A

In the transverse plane, rotation of the pelvis to the body’s left; the right iliac crest moves anteriorly in relation to the left iliac crest, which moves posteriorly (accomplished by right hip external rotation and left hip internal rotation).

47
Q

Pelvis: Right Transverse Pelvic Rotation

A

In the transverse plane, rotation of the pelvis to the body’s right; the left iliac crest moves anteriorly in relation to the right iliac crest, which moves posteriorly (accomplished by right hip internal rotation and left hip external rotation).

48
Q

Knee: Flexion

A

Posterior movement of the lower leg in the sagittal plane, resulting in a decrease of the joint angle.

49
Q

Knee: Extension

A

Anterior movement of the lower leg in the sagittal plane, resulting in an increase of the joint angle.

50
Q

Knee: External Rotation

A

Movement of the lower leg around its longitudinal axis, away from the body midline.

51
Q

A

Ankle movement in the sagittal plane with the top of the foot moving toward the anterior tibia.

53
Q

Ankle and Foot: Plantarflexion

A

Ankle movement in the sagittal plane with the top of the foot moving away from the anterior tibia.

54
Q
