Test -1 Movement terminology

Question 1

Abduction

Answer 1

• lateral movement away from anatomical position in lateral plane
• raising arms or thighs to side horizontally

Question 2

Adduction

Answer 2

• Movement medially towards/ and or across midline of trunk in lateral plane
  -lowering arm to side or thigh back to anatomical positions

Question 3

Flexion

Answer 3

Bending movement that results in a decrease of angle in joint by bringing the bones together, usually in sagittal plane
- elbow joint when hand is drawn to shoulder

Question 4

Extension

Answer 4

• Straightening movement that results in an increase of angle in joint by moving bones apart, usually in sagittal plane
• Elbow joint when hand moves away from shoulder

Question 5

External rotation

Answer 5

• Rotary movement around longitudinal axis of a bone away from midline of body
• occurs only on the traverse plane
• a.k.a rotation laterally, outward rotation and lateral rotation

Question 6

internal rotation

Answer 6

• rotary movement around longitudinal midline of body
  -occurs in transverse plane
  -aka rotations medially, inward rotation and medial rotation

Question 7

Ankle and Foot (Subtalar and Transverse Tarsal)

Answer 7

Eversion
* Turning subtalar and transverse tarsal joints outward or laterally in frontal plane
* Standing with weight on inner edge of foot
Inversion
* Turning subtalar and transverse tarsal joints inward or medially in frontal plane
* Standing with weight on outer edge of foo

Question 8

Ankle (Talocrural) and Foot

Answer 8

Dorsal flexion
* Flexion movement of ankle that results in top of foot moving toward
anterior tibia
Plantar flexion
* Extension movement of ankle that results in foot moving away from body

Question 9

Radioulnar joint

Answer 9

Pronation
-Internally rotating radius where it lies diagonally across ulna, resulting in palm-down position of forearm
supernation
-Externally rotating radius
where it lies parallel to ulna,
resulting in palm-up position of forearm

Question 10

shoulder (Scapulothoracic) Girdle

Answer 10

Depression
* Inferior movement of shoulder girdle
* Returning to normal position from a shoulder shrug
Elevation
* Superior movement of shoulder girdle
* Shrugging the shoulders

Question 11

Shoulder (Scapulothoracic) Girdle

Answer 11

Protraction
* Forward movement of shoulder girdle away from spine
* Abduction of the scapula
Retraction
* Backward movement of shoulder girdle toward spine
* Adduction of the scapula

Question 12

Shoulder (Scapulothoracic) Girdle

Answer 12

Rotation downward
* Rotary movement of scapula with inferior angle of scapula moving medially and downward

Rotation upward
* Rotary movement of scapula with inferior angle of scapula moving laterally and upward

Question 13

Shoulder (Glenohumeral) Joint

Answer 13

Horizontal abduction
* Movement of humerus in horizontal plane away from
midline of body
* Also known as horizontal extension or transverse abduction

Horizontal adduction
* Movement of humerus in horizontal plane toward midline
of body
* Also known as horizontal flexion or transverse adduction

Question 14

spine

Answer 14

lateral flexion (side bending)
- movement of head and or trunk away from midline
- abduction spine

Question 14
