Q

Supination

A

rotation of the forearm and hand so that the palm faces forward or upward (i.e. serving food)

22
Q

Inversion

A

the movement of the sole towards the median plane. For example, inversion describes the motion when an ankle is twisted.

23
Q

Eversion

A

the act of turning inside out he condition (as of the foot) of being turned or rotated outward

24
Q

Circumduction

A

movement of a limb or extremity so that the distal end describes a circle while the proximal end remains fixed. The circular (or, more precisely, conical) movement of a body part, such as a ball-and-socket joint or the eye

25
Q

Dorsi Flexion

A

the backward bending and contracting of your hand or foot. This is the extension of your foot at the ankle and your hand at the wrist.

26
Q

Plantar Flexion

A

a movement in which the top of your foot points away from your leg. (i.e. ballet point)

27
Q

Sagittal Plane

A

longitudinal plane, is an anatomical plane which divides the body into right and left parts.

28
Q

Midsagittal Plane

A

Sagittal Plane The sagittal plane divides the body vertically into equal right and left halves. This plane is also referred to as the midsagittal plane because it is on the midline of the body.

29
Q

Frontal / Coronal Plane

A

is any vertical plane that divides the body into ventral and dorsal (belly and back) sections.

30
Q

Transverse / Horizontal Plane

A

a horizontal plane passing through the standing body so that the transverse plane is parallel to the floor. Separating top and bottom at waistline.
