Unit 4 Flashcards
frontal plane
plane that divides into anterior and posterior side
sagittal plane
this body plane divides the body into a right and left side
transverse plane
plane that divides into superior and inferior half
femur
largest bone in lower leg
tarsals
Ankle bones
Toward the head
Superior
away from the head
inferior
Group of individuals at a higher risk for Severs Disease
Growing active children
Most common cause of navicular stress fracture
Repeated striking of the foot on the ground
Most common ankle sprain
Inversion
tarsal bones
Bones of the ankle are collectively called
Plantar fasciitis
medical condition that results when the ligament that connects the calcaneus to the toes become inflamed
calcaneus
Heel bone is known as the
tibia
Shin bone
Sagittal
Plane that divides the body into right and left halves
closer to point of attachment
Proximal
farther from point of attachment
Distal
Where does the tibia connect to the ankle
talus bone
front
Anterior
closer to the midline
medial
back
posterior
away from the midline
lateral
joint
Area where 2 bones join together
ligament
holds a bone to a bone
fibula
Smaller bone in lower leg
bilateral
Something located on both sides of the body
femur
Upper thigh bone
divides the body into an upper and lower portion
transverse plane
IT band syndrome
pain in the side of the leg, often caused form improper form when running
Osteo-
bone
Angle used when taping an ankle
90 degrees
R.I.C.E
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
immobilization
Casting a bone to avoid the bone from moving
Types of sprains, in order of severe to least severe
Grade 3, Grade 2, Grade 1
Sprains
Type of injury when ligaments are stretched beyond their limits or are torn completely
Main goal of wrapping an injury with elastic bandage
Apply compression & Stabilization
Example of NSAID
Ibuprofen & Advil
A break in the bone where bone pierces the skin
Compound fracture, considered an emergency, often affects ligaments and other bones
Adduction
Movement towards the body
Abduction
Movement away from the body
Servers disease
Inflammation of the growth plate located at the calcaneous
Inversion sprain
Tear in the lateral ligament that connects the tibia and fibula
