Q

anteroposterior axis

A

same orientation as sagittal plane of motion and runs from front to back at a right angle to frontal plane of motion

commonly includes abduction, adduction movements

23
Q

longitudinal axis

A

runs straight down through top of head and is at a right angle to transverse plane

runs superior/inferior

commonly includes internal rotation, external rotation movements

24
Q

diagonal or oblique axis

A

runs perpendicular to diagonal plane

25
Q

flexion

A

results in decrease of joint angle

usually in sagittal plane

26
Q

extension

A

results in increase of joint angle

usually in sagittal plane

A

circular movement of a limb that delineates an arc or cone.

combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction

28
Q

external rotation

A

rotary movement around longitudinal axis of a bone away from the midline of the body

typically occurs in transverse plane

A

turning of sole of foot outward or laterally

ex: standing with weight on inner edge of foot

30
Q

ankle and foot Inversion

A

turning sole of foot inward or medially

ex: standing with weight on outer edge of foot

31
Q

ankle and foot dorsiflexion

A

flexion movement of ankle that results in top of foot moving toward anterior tibia

32
Q

ankle and foot plantar flexion

A

extension movement of ankle that results in foot moving away from body

33
Q

ankle and foot pronation

A

combination of ankle dorsiflexion, subtalar eversion, and forefoot abduction (toe out)

34
Q

ankle and foot supination

A

combination of ankle plantar flexion, subtalar inversion, and forefoot adduction (toe in)

35
Q

radioulnar joint pronation

A

internally rotating radius where it lies diagonally across ulna, resulting in palm-down position of forearm

36
Q

radioulnar joint supination

A

externally rotating radius where it lies parallel to ulna, resulting in palm-up position of forearm

forward movement of shoulder girdle away from the spine

abduction of the scapula

40
Q

shoulder retraction

A

backward movement of shoulder girdle toward spine

adduction of the scapula

shoulder rotation downward

A

rotary movement of the scapula with inferior angle of scapula moving medially and downward

42
Q

shoulder rotation upward

A

rotary movement of scapula with inferior angle of scapula moving laterally and upward

43
Q

shoulder horizontal abduction

A

movement of humerus in horizontal plane away from midline of the body

44
Q

horizontal adduction

A

movement of humerus in horizontal plane toward midline of body

45
Q

shoulder scaption

A

movement of humerus away from the body in the scapular plane. Glenohumeral abduction in a plane 30 to 45 degrees between the sagittal and frontal planes.

46
Q

lateral flexion of spine

A

side beding. movement of head and or trunk laterally away from the midline
abduction of spine

47
Q

reduction of spine

A

return of spinal column to anatomic position from lateral flexion
adduction of spine

A

extension movement of wrist in the sagittal plane with dorsal or posterior side of hand moving toward posterior side of forearm

50
Q

radial flexion of wrist and hand (radial deviation)

A

abduction movement at wrist of thumb side of hand toward forearm

51
Q

ulnar flexion of wrist and hand (ulnar deviation)

A

adduction movement at wrist of little finger side of hand toward forearm
