16
Q

Plane

A

A flat surface

17
Q

Flexion-extension

A

It takes places in the SAGITTAL PLANE about a MEDIAL-LATERAL axis

18
Q

Abduction-adduction

A

It takes place in the FRONTAL/CORONAL plane about an ANTEROPOSTERIOR AXIS

19
Q

Medial-lateral rotation

A

It takes place in the TRANSVERSE plane about a VERTICAL axis

20
Q

Hip joint movements

A

Abduction
Adduction
Internal rotation
External rotation

21
Q

Foot (at the subtalar joint) movements

A

Inversion
Version
Dorsiflexion of the ankle
Plantar flexion of the ankle
Pronation
Supination

22
Q

Muscles

A

Can be fired/stimulated by a motor neuron to try shorten/contract

23
Q

Key actions of muscles

A

1- to contract/shorten
2- to move/rotate joints

24
Q

Types of muscle contraction

A

1- Concentric contraction (if the muscle contracts and shortens)
2- Isometric/static contraction (if the muscle contracts and the joints don’t move)
3- Eccentric contraction (once a muscle is firing and tries to shorten, but it is being lengthened by another force like gravity)

25
Q

Nerves

A

They transmit an electrical signal which for movement, fires muscles

26
Q

Bony features

A

Attachments of something, part of a joint or something goes through it

27
Q

Ligaments

A

Rope-like structures (made of collagen) that attach bone to another bone across a joint

28
Q

What do ligaments do?

A

They restrict, limit and stop movement when they get tight and they guide movement
