Q

extension v flexion

A

backward bending v forward bending

18
Q

external v internal

A

outside the body v inside the body

19
Q

force

A

external effort causing object to change movement or shape
application techniques = elongating, gliding, kneading, pulling, pushing, twisting
vector considerations
point of application
magnitude (intensity) dependent upon force applied and friction resisting
direction

internal force is related to ANS processes, such as in digestion–the feeling of full stomach, cramping, etc

20
Q

friction

A

force which impedes change of movement or shape

21
Q

kimatics

A

branch of mechanics involving aspects of time, space, and mass in a moving system

22
Q

Lateral

A

side, farthest from midline

23
Q

biomechanics

A

principles and methods of mechanics applied to the structure and function of the body

24
Q

Medial

A

at the midline

25
Q

muscles, movement

A

abductor - moves away from midline
adductor - moves toward midline
extensor - straightens a part
flexor - bends a part
depressor - lowers a part
levitator - raises a part
tensor - tightens a part

26
Q

quality of life
Essentials ch3 p91-93

A

an individuals perception of one’s position in terms of goals, expectations, standards, concerns, in context of culture and personal values

27
Q

kinesiology

A

study of movement combining the fields of anatomy, physiology, physics, and geometry as it relates to human movement

28
Q

Posterior or Dorsal

A

back

29
Q

Pressure

A

amount of force applied
90 = perpendicular
45 = more horizontal

pressure = force v friction

30
Q

Proximal

A

end to point of attachment

31
Q

ipsilateral

A

same side

32
Q

Saggital or Medial Plane

A

bisects left-right,
divides the body in half at the the vertical midline

33
Q

adduction

A

movement toward midline

34
Q

symphysis

A

place where 2 bones are fused or joined with an synarthroses joint

35
Q

mechanics

A

branch of physics dealing with the study of forces and the motion produced

36
Q

abduction

A

movement away from the midline

37
Q

Tissue Load

A

application of force and presence of friction creates stress

strain = change in shape of tissue as a result of tissue stress

simple load = anatomic external force applied which has single direction
compression = two opposing forces moving towards one another resulting in change in shape to shorter, thicker

combine load = anatomic external foce applied which has multiple directions
tensile stress (tension) = two opposing forces moving in opposite direction, resulting in stretching
shear stress = two parallel forces moving in opposite direction, resulting in sliding
torsion is twisting shear stress
bedning is both compression on one side and tension on the other side

38
Q

Transverse Plane

A

bisects upper-lower

39
Q

motion

A

change in position with respect to some reference frame

40
Q

kinetics

A

forces that cause movement in a system

41
Q

appendicular body

A

limbs and parts thereof

42
Q

axial body

A

head and trunk of body with parts thereof
