The Muscoskeletal System And Movement Analysis Flashcards
What are the 3 planes of movement?
- Frontal
- Sagittal
- Transverse
Characteristics of the frontal plane
- The frontal plane splits the body into front and back
(F for Frontal = Front & Back) - Any sideways movement in line with the frontal plane occurs here
- Movements: Adduction & Abduction
Characteristics of the transverse plane
- The transverse plane splits the body into upper and lower sections
(T for Transverse = Top & Bottom) - Any rotational motion occurs here
- Movements:
Horizontal abduction & adduction
Characteristics of the sagittal plane
- The sagittal plane splits the body into a right and left side
(S for Sagittal = Side & Side) - Any forward or backward motion occurs here
- Movements:
Flexion, extension, hyperextension, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion.
What are the 3 axes of rotation?
- Transverse
- Sagittal
- Longitudinal
Characteristics of the Transverse axis
- Runs from the left side of the body to the right (hip to hip)
- Rotation in this axis occurs when moving in the sagittal plane
Characteristics of the sagittal axis
- Runs from the front of the body to the back (S for Sagittal = Stomach)
- Rotation in this axis occurs when moving in the frontal plane
Characteristics of the longitudinal axis
- Runs from top to bottom
- Rotation in this axis occurs when moving in the transverse plane
What are the planes and axes pairs?
- Frontal Plane + Sagittal Axis
- Transverse Plane + Longitudinal Axis
- Sagittal Plane + Transverse Axis
