The Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
What are the General Joint Motions?
Flexion Extension Abduction Adduction Internal Rotation External Rotation
What does flexion do?
decreases the angle at a joint; rolls the body towards the fetal position
What does extension do?
increases the angle at a joint; roll the body away from the fetal position
What does internal rotation do?
move anterior surface towards the midline
What does the external rotation do?
move the anterior surface away from the midline
What are the Joint Specific Motions of the ankle?
Dorsiflexion and Plantar flexion
Inversion and Eversion
What does dorsiflexion do?
moves top of the foot towards the tibia; decrease angle between foot and leg
What does plantar flexion do?
moves the bottom downwards; increase the angle between leg and foot
What does inversion of the foot do?
bottom of the foot turns towards the midline
What does eversion of the foot do?
bottom of the foot turns away from the midline
What are the Joint Specific Motions of the hip and shoulders?
Horizontal Abduction and Horizontal Adduction
What does horizontal abduction motion do?
the segment is moved in the transverse plane, away from the midline
What does the horizontal adduction motion do?
the segment is moved in the transverse plane, towards the midline
What are the Joint Specific Motions of the Pelvis?
Posterior Pelvic Girdle Rotation Anterior Pelvic Girdle Rotation Left Lateral Pelvic Girdle Rotation Right Lateral Pelvic Girdle Rotation Right Transverse Pelvic Girdle Rotation Left Transverse Pelvic Girdle Rotation
Motions of the pelvis are defined by what?
ASIS (Anterior Superior Iliac Spine)
What does anterior pelvic girdle rotation move?
ASIS rotates forward in the sagittal plane; increases space
What does the posterior pelvic girdle rotation move?
ASIS rotates backward in the sagittal plane; decreasing space
What does the right lateral pelvic girdle rotation move?
right ASIS moves superiorly; conan dance
What does the left lateral pelvic girdle rotation move?
left ASIS moves superiorly; conan dance
What does the right transverse pelvic girdle rotation move?
right ASIS moves posteriorly; open hips when batting
What does the left transverse pelvic girdle rotation move?
left ASIS moves posteriorly; opens hips when batting
What are the Joint Specific Motions of the lumbar?
Right Lateral Lumbar Flexion
Left Lateral Lumbar Flexion
What does the right lateral lumbar flexion move?
upper body flexes to the right
What does the left lateral lumbar flexion move?
upper body flexes to the left
What does reduction do during a lateral lumbar motion?
brings the trunk back to midline; making the position anatomical neutral again
What is the name of the spine curvature on the cervical and lumbar regions?
loradodic
What is the name of the spine curvature on thoracic and sacral regions?
kyphosis
What are the Joint Specific Motions of the shoulder/scapula?
Upward Rotation Downward Rotation Protraction Retraction Elevation Depression
What does the upward rotation of the shoulder move?
the inferior angle moves superiorly and laterally; abduction
What does the downward rotation of the shoulder move?
the inferior angle moves inferiorly and medially; adduction
what does the protraction movement of the scapula move?
vertebral border of the scapula moves away from the midline; abduction
What does the retraction movement of the scapula move?
moves the scapula moves toward the midline; adduction
What does elevation do for the scapula?
scapula moves upward
What does the depression of the scapula do?
scapula moves down
What are the Joint Specific Movements of the Radio-Ulnar ?
Pronation
Supination
What is the pronation movement of the radio ulnar joint?
the thumb is positioned on the medial side of the elbow; palm down
What is the supination movement of the radio ulnar joint?
the thumb is positioned on the lateral side of the elbow; palm up
What are the Joint Specific Motions of the Wrist?
Radial and Ulnar Deviation
What is the radial deviation movement?
radial flexion; thumb moves toward the forearm
