Define anthropometrics
|
The science of the physical dimensions, size, shape, and weight of the human body.
|
|
The basis for anthropometry is the careful measurement of human body dimensions of a set population. The dimensions that are measured include:
|
1) Height
2) Weight 3) Reach, both horizontal & overhead 4) Stoop 5) Grip strength 6) Circumferential measurements 7) Limb length |
|
What landmarks are used for the Figure 8 measurement of the ankle/foot?
|
1) Tibialis Anterior tendon
2) Navicular tuberosity 3) Base of 5th metatarsal 4) Medial malleolus 5) Lateral malleolus |
|
How would you perform anthropometric measurement for swelling at the knee?
|
- Mark the medial joint line and take a circumferential measurement of the knee at the medial joint line.
- Now, measure up from the medial joint line & mark the suprapatellar region & perform a circumferential measurement there. - Repeat the procedure for the contralateral knee. Document your findings. |
|
How would you perform anthropometric measurement for swelling at the thigh?
|
- Using a knee landmark (mark it) as a distance reference, measure up and mark 2-3 places on the thigh. Take a circumferential measurement at these 2-3 places.
- Measure the opposite thigh in the same location (duplicate the procedures done on the other leg.) Document your findings. |
|
How would you perform anthropometric measurements for swelling at the low leg?
|
Using a landmark (mark it) as a distance reference, measure down and mark 2-3 places on the low leg.
- Take a circumferential measurement at these 2-3 places. Measure the opposite low leg in the same location (duplicate the procedures done on the other leg). Doctument your findings. |
|
Describe how you would perform anthropometric measurement for leg length in supine?
|
- Place the subject in a supine position and locate the ASIS and medial malleolus (on same side).
- Measure the linear distance from the ASIS to the medial malleolus for each lower extremity. - Document your findings |
|
Areas observed from ANTERIOR or POSTERIOR view
|
1) Neck Angle - affected by size of upper trap & shoulder height
2) Shoulder levelness - dominant shoulder frequently lower 3) Rib Cage Symmetry 4) Waist Angle/Crease Symmetry - affected by spinal curves and/or pelvis levelness 5) Iliac Crests & Trochanters levelness 6) Toe-Out Angle & Width of BOS 7) Foot Position/Arch Clearance - Slight pronation is normal |
|
ANTERIOR only view
|
1) Head on trunk alignment (tilt or rotation)
2) ASIS levelness 3) Patellar position/alignment 4) Knee angulation - slight valgus is normal |
|
POSTERIOR only view
|
1) Spinal curves (hypo-, hyper-, or scoliosis)
2) Scapulae position - dominant shoulder frequently lower 3) PSIS levelness 4) Knee crease symmetry 5) Calcaneus alignment - inversion/eversion (slight pronation is normal) |
|
Lateral (sagittal plane) view
|
1) Vertical Plumb-line Alignment (reference location for plumb line alignment is at the ankle)
2) Trunk rotation or sway/shift - take anoter look at spinal curves |
|
Describe the sample postural impairments/deviations that are stated in the posture handout
|
1) pes planus/cavus
2) genu valgus/varus, recurvatum 3) anterior OR posterior pelvic tilt 4) pelvic asymmetry/unlevel 5) hyper/hypo lordosis/kyphosis 6) scoliosis & rib hump 7) scapular depression 8) scapular retraction 9) forward shoulders (scapular protraction) 10) shoulders unlevel 11) forward head 12) upper trunk or lower trunk lean (A-P) |
|
Associations between postural deviations and impairments:
|
Just to name a few.
1) hamstring tightness & lumbar hypolordosis 2) hip flexor tightness & lumbar hyperlordosis 3) standing foot asymmetry & leg length difference 4) pectoral tightness & forward shoulders |
|
Describe IDEAL sagittal plumb line alignment
|
- Just posterior to the ear opening
- Thru the Shoulder/GH Joint - Thru or just behind the hip (thru trochanter) - Thru the anterior 1/2 of the knee - Anterior to the lateral malleolus |
|
Why, biomechanically, is this considered "ideal posture"???
|
- because it results in the lowest torque demands placed on the joints and muscles. IF it is comfortable adn habitual for a person, it can be maintained by contraction of only the soleus, iliopsoas, erector spinae, neck extensors, and temporalis/masseter
