Standing upright with the feet slightly apart, arms hanging at the sides, and palms facing forward with thumbs outward describes what position?
Anatomic
What is the term for the lateral movement away from the midline of the trunk?
Abduction
The study of mechanical principles, movements, and actions applied to living bodies is known as
biomechanics.
The practice of inserting needles at specific points on meridians to regulate or alter body function is
acupuncture.
Downward or inferior movement is
depression.
The movement of a limb away from the midline of the body is
abduction.
The movement of a limb through the transverse plane toward and across the midline of the body is
horizontal adduction.
The movement of the ankle resulting in the top of the foot moving toward the anterior tibia is
dorsiflexion.
Motion is defined as a change in position with respect to
a starting point.
What is the term for upward or superior movement?
Elevation
The movement of the sole of the foot outward, as in away from the midline, is
eversion.
Movement that increases the angle between two bones, usually moving the body part back toward the anatomic position, is
extension.
The rotary movement around the longitudinal axis of a bone away from the midline of the body is
lateral rotation.
The term for a movement that decreases the angle between two bones is
flexion.
What plane divides the body into anterior and posterior?
Frontal
The movement of the humerus in the horizontal plane away from the midline of the body is
horizontal abduction.
The term for the movement of the humerus around a longitudinal axis in the transverse plane toward the midline of the body is
medial rotation.
Movement that increases the angle between two bones is
extension.
Movement of the sole of the foot inward toward the midline is
inversion.
A branch of mechanics that involves the time, space, and mass aspects of a moving system is
kinematics.
The study of movement that combines the fields of anatomy, physiology, physics, and geometry and relates them to human movement is
kinesiology.
What forces cause movement in a system?
Kinetics
Movement of the head or trunk laterally away from the midline is
lateral flexion.
Lying horizontally on the right or left side is
lateral recumbent.
