HUMAN MOVEMENT TERM 1 (2ND SUMMATIVE TEST LESSONS)

Lessons present: Anatomical terms, Axes of Rotation, Movement analysis of the upper and lower extremities

ANATOMICAL TERMS

• The language of anatomy that describes the location, orientation, and movement of body parts and structures.

• Often based on their positioning on direction in relation to a standard position.

Superior (cranial)

upper or above

Inferior (caudal)

lower or below

Anterior (ventral)

front of the body

Posterior (dorsal)

back of body

Proximal

Nearer to the trunk of the body

Distal

Farther from the trunk of the body

Medial

toward the midline

Lateral

away from the midline

ANATOMICAL POSITION

• Refers to the specific body orientation used when describing an individual's anatomy.

• Consists of the body standing upright.

supine position

lying on back, facing upward

Flexion

Decreases the angle of a joint

extension

increases the angle of a joint

Abduction

moving away from the midline

Adduction

movement toward the midline

Rotation

turning around an axis

Circumduction

circular movement

Coronal (frontal) plane

divides body into anterior and posterior

Sagittal plane

divides body into left and right

transverse plane

divides the body into superior and inferior parts

Elevation

raising your scapula

Depression

lowering your scapula

Dorsiflexion

bending of the foot or the toes upward

plantar flexion

bends the foot downward at the ankle

The plane

the surface where movement occurs

The axis

the imaginary line around which movement takes place

axes

plural, occurs in the plane around the axis

AP axis

• front to back

• occurs in the frontal plane

• abduction and adduction

Ml axis

• side to side

• occurs in the sagittal plane

• flexion and extension

Longitudinal axis

• from top to bottom

• occurs in the sagittal planeflexion and extension

Shoulder Joint (glenohumeral joint)

• Articulation between the scapula and the humerus

• most mobile joint

movements of the shoulder joint

abduction, adduction - frontal plane, sagittal axis

flexion, extension - sagittal plane, transverse axis

medial rotation

lateral rotation

circumduction

horizontal abduction

horizontal adduction

elbow joint

where your humerus meets your radius and ulna

movements of the elbow joint

flexion, extension, pronation (external), supination (internal)

wrist joint (radiocarpal joint)

articulation betwwen the radius and carpal bones

movements of the wrist joint

flexion, extension, abduction, adduction

hand joint

where the wrist, palm and fingers meet

finger joint

hInge like connections between the small bones of the fingers

movements of hand and fingers joint

flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, opposition, reposition, circumduction

hip joint

• thigh bone connects to pelvis

• second biggest joint in your body

what hipjoint do

• support your body

• maintain balance

• move your upper legs

• flex legs up

• extend legs out

• move legs in a circle

movements of hip joint

flexion/extension, abduction/adduction,

medial/lateral rotation, circumduction

knee joint

• largest joint in the body

• connects femur to your tibia

Movements of the knee joint

flexion and extension, medial and lateral rotation

what the knee joint do

• move legs

• support body when standing

• stabilize

ankle joint

where your tibia, fibula and talus bone meet

foot joint

points where the bones of the fot meet and connect

movement of ankle and foot joint

dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, eversion
