Q

On the same side

A

Ipsilateral

20
Q

On the opposite side

A

Contralateral

21
Q

Vertical plane extending in an anteroposterior direction dividing the body into right and left parts; effectively the forward and backward plane.

A

Mid-sagittal plane

22
Q

Any plane parallel to the median plane

A

Sagittal plane

23
Q

A vertical plane at right angles to the sagittal plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior portions; effectively the side movement plane.

A

Coronal (or frontal) plane

24
Q

A horizontal cross-section, dividing the body into upper and lower sections, and lies at right angles to the other two planes; effectively the rotational movement plane.

A

Transverse (or horizontal) plane

25
Q

The action of flexion and extension happen in the?

A

Sagittal plane

26
Q

Abduction and adduction take place in the?

A

Frontal plane

27
Q

Jumping jacks are an example of?

A

Abduction and adduction

28
Q

Movement away from the midline of the body (or to return from adduction)

A

Abduction

29
Q

Movement toward the midline of the body (or to return from abduction)

A

Adduction

30
Q

Movement in which the distal end of a bone moves in a circle, while the proximal end remains relatively stable; combining flexion, extension, abduction and adduction.

A

Circumduction

31
Q

Bending the body or head sideways in the coronal plane

A

Lateral flexion

32
Q

Rotating the forearm to turn the palm of the hand down to face the floor, or to face posteriorly from the anatomical position.

A

Pronation

33
Q

Rotating the forearm to turn the palm of the hand up to face the ceiling, or to face forward, as is the case in the anatomical position.

A

Supination

34
Q

Movement that straightens or increases the angle between the bones or part of the body.

A

Extension

35
Q

Movement that involves bending e.g. spine, bending forward

A

Flexion

36
Q

Movement of an elevated part of the body downward to its original position.

A

Depression

37
Q

Movement of a part of the body upwards along the frontal plane.

A

Elevation

38
Q

To point the toes upward

A

Dorsiflexion

39
Q

To point the toes downward

A

Plantar flexion

40
Q

Turning the sole of the foot outward. (Also called pronation of the foot).

A

Eversion

41
Q

Turning the sole of the foot inward. (Also called supination of the foot).

A

Inversion

42
Q

Drawing out and lengthening. Movement forward in the transverse plane.

A

Protraction

43
Q

Drawing back. Movement backward in the transverse plane

A

Retraction

44
Q

Turning around a fixed axis.

A

Rotation

45
Q

Turning in toward the midline

A

Medial rotation

46
Q

Turning out away from the midline

A

Lateral rotation
