Lab 1- Movement terminology

Three types of cardinal places

Sagittal plane, frontal plane, transverse plane

Three axes

Anterior-Posterior Axis, Mediolateral Axis, Longitudinal Axis

Frontal Plane

Divides to Anterior and Posterior, Anterior-Posterior Axis, side to side movements

Sagittal Plane

Mediolateral Axis, Divides to medial and lateral, front to back movements

Transverse Plane

Longitudinal axis, divides to superior and inferior, twisting movements

Flexion

Sagittal plane, Bending movement that results in a downward angle of a joint by bringing bones together

Extension

Sagittal plane, Straightening movement that results in a upward angle of a joint by moving bones apart

Dorsiflexion

Sagittal plane, Flexion movement of ankle that results in top of foot moving toward body

Plantar Flexion

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

Hyper

Beyond normal of any movement

Hypo

Less than normal of any movement

Abduction

Frontal plane, lateral movement away from midine

Adduction

Frontal plane, Medial movement toward midline

Radial deviation

Frontal plane, wrist abduction toward radial styloid(toward thumb)

Ulnar deviation

Frontal plane, wrist adduction toward ulnar styloid,(toward pinky)

Eversion

Frontal Plane, turning sole of foot outward(laterally), or standing with weight on inner side of foot

Inversion

Frontal plane, Turning sole of foot inward(medially), or standing with weight on outer edge of foot

Elevation

Frontal plane, superior movement of shoulder girdle, shrugging shoulders

Deperssion

Frontal plane, inferior movement of shoulder girdle, returning of shoulders to position from a shrug

Upward Rotation

Frontal plane, Lateral movement of inferior angle of scapula

Downward Rotation

Frontal plane, Medial movement of inferior angle of scapula

Lateral bending flexion

Frontal plane, Bending trunk or neck to the left or right

External lateral rotation

Transverse Plane movement, Rotary movement of anterior surface of a bone away from midline of a body

Internal Medial Rotation

Transverse Plane movement, rotary movement around longitudinal axis of a bone toward midline of body

Pronation

Transverse Plane movement, Internally rotating radius where it lies diagonally across ulna, results in palm down position of forearm

Supination

Externally rotating radius where it lies parallel to ulna resulting in palm up position of forearm

Protraction

Transverse plane, Forward movement of shoulder girdle away from spine, abduction of scapula

Retraction

Transverse plane, backward movement of shoulder girdle toward spine, adduction of scapula

Horizontal abduction

Transverse plane, Movement of humerus in toward midline

Horizontal adduction

Transverse plane, Movement of humerus away from midline

Circumduction/ Circumflexion

circular movement of a limb, combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction, multi plane movement

Ankle pronation

Combination of ankle dorsiflexion, subtalar eversion and forefoot abduction, natural movement of every step as foot hits, multi plane movement

Ankle supination

Combination of ankle plantar flexion, subtalar inversion, and forefoot adduction, natural movement of every step as foot leaves ground, multi plane movement
