Types Of Body Movements Flashcards
Movements of the body. What 5 things to remember.
Give exmaple
In movement of the lower leg
Object:lower leg
Fixed point: upper thigh
Fulcrum(pivot point): knee hoint
Plane of movement: sagital plane
Since we’re so smart we know it’s on the X-axis
Antagonism
Flexion and extension:
What nature of movement do they have. And what plane does is move along
It has of antagonist nature. It’s always on the sagital plabe
Flexion and extension properties
During Flexion angle decreases
Name the simple joints that perform this movement
The interphalangal joints of the toes and fingers
The knee
The elbow
Name the compound joints that perform flexion and extension
The neck
The verterbal column
The Hip
The shoulder
MCP and MTP
List the properties of the lateral flexion
It is described from the person doing it direction
It takes place in the coronal plane
What parts of the body does the lateral felxion take place in
The lumbar spine
The cervical vertebrae
Define adduction and abduction movements
It is the movement away(abduction) or towards( adduction) the mid line
What are the body parts that can perform adduction and abduction
Hips
Shoulder
The MCP and MTP
the carpo-metacarpal joint of the thumb
What plane does adduction and abduction take place
Coronal plane
Rotation: describe
It occurs on the areas of the limbs and the trunk
Happens on the longitudinal axis. On the transverse plane
Explain external rotation and internal rotation
It is in reference of the medial line. Away from the medial line
The limbs rotation. What are the joints that can perform it
External rotation and internal rotation. Depending on the direction in reference from the medial line
The hip
The shoulder
The upper trunk rotation. What are the joints that can perform rotation
Not in reference to the medial line but have movements to the left and right
Cervical vertebrae
Thoracic vertebrae
Lumbar supine- little bit
