Quiz 1.1 Flashcards
Osteology
Study of structure & function of skeleton and bony structure
Arthrology
Study of the anatomy, functioning, and treatment of joints/articulations
Mechanical Interactions
Physical association b/w 2+ objects
Importance of movement analysis
Movement can convey emotion, age, injury
Important to identify typical vs. atypical
Fundamental Movement
Movement of the body moves THROUGH a plane and AROUND an axis
Plane
Imaginary flat surface along which movement takes place
Ex: walking is in sagittal plane
Sagittal plane
Imaginary flat surface that passes from the front of the body to the rear dividing the body into 2 symmetrical R&L halves
Forward and backward movement
Walking!
Transverse (horizontal) plane
Imaginary flat surface that is parallel to diaphragm
Splits inferior/superior
Ex: twist and turn of trunk
Frontal (coronal) plane
Imaginary flat surface that passes side to side; perpendicular to sagittal plane
Axis
Imaginary line about which the body or limbs rotate
Mediolateral (frontal horizontal) axis
Line that passes from side to side at a right angle to sagittal plane
Imagine spear going through hip and leg swings on the spear
Related to movement in the sagittal plane (Flexion and extension)
Vertical (Longitudinal) axis
Passes from head to foot; perpendicular to transverse plane
Ex: Stick through rotisserie chicken
Internal and external rotation
Anteroposterior (sagittal horizontal) axis
Passes from the front to the read, perpendicular to frontal plane
Ex: cartwheel
Abduction and Adduction
Flexion
Angle between two bones attached at a joint decreases
Extension
Angle between two bones attached at a joint increases
