Term
What does Flexion do?
Definition
Brings two bones closer together, so that the angle between them decreases
Term
What is extension?
Definition
the opening of a joint back to anatomical position. Hyperextenion is past the normal ROM. The angle increases.
Term
What is adduction?
Definition
Bringing the limbs toward the body's midline. Refers to the appendages.
Term
What is abduction?
Definition
Moving limbs laterally away from the body midline. Refers to appendages.
Term
Medial/Lateral Rotation
Definition
AKA internal/external rotation. Medial: limb turns toward the midline. Lateral: limb turns away from the midline
Term
Rotation
Definition
Pertains only to the axial skeleton, specifically the head and vertebral column
Term
Circumduction
Definition
cone-shaped movement combining flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction.
Term
Lateral Flexion
Definition
Occurs only in axial skeleton; same properties as regular flexion
Term
Elevation/Depression
Definition
Occurs in scapula and jaw. Elevation is a superior movement. Depression is inferior movement.
Term
Pronation and Supination
Definition
P: Pivoting action of forearm so that palm faces downward. S: Pivoting action of forearm so that palm faces upward.
Term
Inversion/Eversion
Definition
I: soles of feet turning inward. E: soles of feet turning laterally
Term
Plantar/Dorsiflextion
Definition
Plantar: Foot points toward. Dorsiflextion: foot points upward.
Term
Protraction/Retraction
Definition
P: structure moves anteriorly
R: structure moves posterioly
Term
Lateral Deviation
Definition
shifting to one side/area, as the jaw.
Term
Deviation of the Wrist
Definition
Can be radial (thumb side) or Ulnar (pinky side)
Term
Opposition
Definition
occurs when the thumbpad crosses the palm toward the last finger.
Term
External/Upward Scapular Rotation
Definition
Inferior angle moves upward - also the abduction of the arm
Term
Internal/Downward Scapular Rotation
Definition
Inferior angle moves toward spine - also the adduction of the arm
Term
List and Demonstrate the 5 motions of the Neck joint.
Definition
Flexion, extension, hyperextension, lateral flexion, rotation.
Term
List/demonstrate the 5 motions of the jaw
Definition
protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, lateral deviation
Term
List/demonstrate the 9 motions of the shoulder/glenohumeral joint
Definition
Flexion, extension, hyperextension, adduction (horizontal flexion), abduction (horizontal extension), circumduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation
Term
List/demonstrate the 2 motions of the elbow
Definition
flexion and extension
Term
List/demonstrate the 5 motions of the wrist
Definition
flexion,extension, hyperextenion, ulnar deviation, radial deviation.
Term
List/demonstrate the 2 motions of the forearm
Definition
supination, pronation
Term
List/demonstrate the 6 motions of the fingers
Definition
flexion, extension, hyperextension, opposition, adduction, abduction.
Term
list/demonstrate the 6 movements of the scapular joint
Definition
elevation, depression, protraction(abduction), retraction(adduction), internal/downward rotation, external/upward rotation
Term
List/demonstrate the 5 movements of the spine
Definition
flexion, extension, hyperextension, lateral flexion, rotation
Term
List/demonstrate the 2 movements of the ribs
Definition
elevation, depression
Term
List/demonstrate the 7 movements of the hip (coxal joint)
Definition
flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, lateral/external rotation, medial/internal rotation
Term
List/demonstrate the 4 movements of the knee
Definition
flexion, extension, medial rotation of the flexed knee, lateral rotation of the flexed knee
Term
list/demonstrate the 2 movements of the ankle
and the 2 movements of the lower ankle
Definition
dorsiflexion, plantarflexion
lower ankle: inversion, eversion
Term
list/demonstrate the 3 movements of the toes
Definition
flexion, extension, hyperextension
