Q

What is Hyper-extension where can this take place and what is a sporting example ?

A

Hyper-extension: If the angle increases by more than 180 degrees
Where can this take place: leg, arm
Sporting example: bowling

17
Q

What are the 3 planes of movement ?

A
  • frontal plane
  • sagital plane
  • transverse plane
18
Q

What is the frontal plane ?

A
  • Plane lies vertically
  • divides the body into anterior and posterior (front and back)
  • examples of the movements are abduction and adduction
19
Q

What is the sagital plane ?

A
  • plane lies vertically
  • divides the body into left and right parts
  • e.g flexion, extension, plantar flexion and dorsi flexion (kicking, running, walking)
20
Q

What is the transverse plane ?

A
  • lies horizontally
  • divides the body into superior and inferior (upper and lower)
  • rotation
21
Q

What is the transverse axis ?

A

Runs from side to side

22
Q

What is the longitudinal axis ?

A

Runs from top to bottom

23
Q

What is the sagital axis ?

A

Runs from front to back

24
Q

What axis and plane does flexion, extension, plantar flexion, dorsi flexion and hyper flexion happen on ?

A

Axis = transverse
Plane = sagital

25
Q

What axis and plane abduction and adduction happen on ?

A

Axis = sagital
Plane = frontal

26
Q

What axis and plane does horizontal abduction and adduction happen on ?

A

Axis = longitudinal
Plane = transverse

27
Q

What is an agonist ?

A

A muscle responsible for creating movement at a joint

28
Q

What is an antagonist ?

A

A muscle that opposes the agonist providing a coordinated movement

29
Q

What is a fixator ?

A

A muscle that stabilises one part while another causes movement

30
Q

What are examples of antagonistic pairings ?

A
  • hamstring + quadricep
  • hip flexor + gluteus
  • pectoralis + latissimus dorsi
31
Q

What is a hinge joint ?

A

Sideways movement limited to one plane
Example: Knee, ankle, elbow

32
Q

What is a ball and socket joint ?

A

A ball shaped head articulates with a socket to give a large range of motion in all 3 planes
Example: Hip, shoulder

33
Q

What is a pivot joint ?

A

Joint that permits rotatory movement around an single axis
Example: Radio-ulna, neck

34
Q

What is a gliding joint ?

A

Flat similar sized bones articulate with limited motion
Example: spine

35
Q

What is a condyloid joint ?

A

Like a ball and socket joint, flatter bone surface to allow motion in two planes
Example: Wrist

36
Q

What is a joint ?

A

Where two bones meet

37
Q

What is a ligament ?

A

A tissue that connects two bones together

38
Q

What is a tendon ?

A

A tissue that attaches muscle to bone

39
Q

What is cartilage ?

A

Strong, flexible connective tissue that protects your joints and bones
