anatomical position
standing straight arms sides in a frontal position and thumbs should be positioned laterally
INTRO TO MOVEMENT: PLANES OF MOVEMENT
what is anatomical planes
imaginary 2D surfaces passing through the body
what are the three planes of movement
frontal plane
saggital plane
transverse plane
what’s the frontal plane
SNOW ANGEL MOVEMENTS
two movements of frontal plane and describe them
- abduction- movement away from the midline eg arms out
- adduction movement into the mid line eg arms that are out going back in
what is the saggital plane
divides body into left and right parts BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS
what are the 2 saggital plane movements and describe the movements
- extension- moving backwards
- flexion- moving forwards
what is the transverse plane
divides body into upper and lower parts ROTATION MOVEMENTS
