Question 1

What are the 3 planes for position

Answer 1

1. midsagittal
2. frontal/coronal
3. transverse

Question 2

Which plane do we have the anterior and posterior position?

Answer 2

frontal, coronal plane

Question 3

What does anterior and posterior mean? Draw shapes and identify which is in the anterior/posterior position

Answer 3

anterior means how much more in front are you. posterior -refers to the back position. 
so if I have x y | z 
x is anterior to y and z 
y is anterior to z but posterior to x 
| is the midsagittal plane

Question 4

Describe what is the medial and lateral position- which plane do we evaluate this?

Answer 4

Medial means closer to the mid-sagittal line, and lateral means further from the mid-sagittal line.
mid-saggital plane is used as reference

Question 5

What is superior and inferior. Which plane do we use as reference?

Answer 5

Superior: above the organ of reference
Inferior: below the organ of reference
Transverse plane

Question 6

What does proximal / distal mean or refer to

Answer 7

Flexion refers to where the angle of the joint decreases, whereas extension refers to when the angle of the joint increases

Question 8

What does abduction and adduction mean?

Answer 8

Abduction refers to moving laterally away from the mid saggital plane. adduction is moving more medially towards the mid-sagittal plane.

Question 9

What is lateral and medial rotation?

Answer 9

Lateral rotation involves rotating away from the mid-sagittal plane and medial rotation is rotating towards the mid-sagittal plane

Question 10

What is supination and pronation

Answer 10

supination: palm’s facing you
pronation: palm’s not facing you ( facing down)
* supination and pronation is only valid for the forearm
