Types Of Body Moveme Flashcards
When describing movement, what are the five things to remember? Give example
In movement of lower leg
1. Objects : lower leg
2. Fixed point: thigh
3. Plane: sagittal plane
4. Fulcrum: Knee joint
5. Axis: horizontal axis ( x-axis)
Flexion and extension is movement along which plane?
Sagittal plane
Flexion does what to the angle and extension does what to the angle?
Flexion decreases the angle
Extension increases the angle
Simple joints that can perform Flexion/Extension movement
- Elbow
- Knee
- Interphalangeal joints of Fingers and toes
Compound joints that can perform flexion and extension movements
- Neck
- Vertebrae
- Shoulder
- Hip
- Metacarpophalangeal joints
- Metatarsophalangeal joints
Lateral flexion is along which plane?
Coronal plane
Which parts of the body can perform lateral flexion?
- The lumbar spine
- Cervical vertebrae
Define adduction/abduction movement relative to the midline
Adduction is towards the midline
Abduction is away from the midline
Which joints can perfom adduction/abduction movement?
- Shoulder
- Hip
- MCP of fingers
- MTP of toes
- Carpo-metacarpal of thumb
Adduction and abduction movement is along which plane?
Coronal plane
Rotation movement is along which plane and axis?
Transverse plane
Longitudinal axis
Rotational movement is divided into two parts namely?
- Rotation of limbs
- Rotation of head and trunk
Rotation of limbs with reference to the midline is divided into two namely
External/lateral rotation
Internal/medial rotation
Which joints of the limb can perform rotation movement?
- Shoulder
- Hip
Rotation of the head and trunk is described based on 3 aspects namely? Give examples
- Rotation
- Organ
- Direction
Eg: Rotation of the head to the left
Which joints of the head and trunk can perform rotation movement?
- Cervical vertebrae
- Thoracic vertebrae
- A little- lumbar vertebrae
List the more common and important movements
- Flexion/ extension
- Lateral flexion
- Abduction/ adduction
- Rotation
Movements of the jaw include
1.Depression/ Elevation
2. Protrusion/ retrusion
Describe depression/ elevation movements of the jaw? Mention the joint involved
It is the superior inferior translation movement of the mandible
Joint is TMJ
Describe the protrusion/retrusion movement of the jaw
It is the anterior posterior translation movement of the mandible
Define protraction/retraction movement and give example
It involves protrusion and retrusion movement of jaw with lateral movement
Example cow chewing
Describe Circumduction
It is conical motion of the limbs
Which joints can perform circumduction?
- Shoulder
- Hip
- Fingers
- Thumb
Circumduction movement is a complex combination of which movements?
- Flexion
- Extension
- Adduction
- Abduction
Supination/pronation
Movement of the forearm at the Radioulnar joint
Which joints are involved in supination/pronation
Proximal and distal radioulnar joints
