  • Front
  • Back
agonist muscle / prime mover
muscle which performs the majority of an action (not at every joint)
antagonist muscle
muscle whose actions oppose another muscle
synergist muscle
muscle which aids and performs the same action as a prime mover
stabilizer muscle
muscle which fixes the origin of another muscle
origin
the proximal attachment of a muscle, usually doesn't move
proximal
closer to the point of attachment
insertion
the distal attachment of a muscle, usually moves
distal
further from the point of attachment
usually during muscle contraction the insertion does what?
moves toward the origin
objective / sign
something you observe about your client. something you see.
subjective / symptom
something you are told by your client. something someone tells you.
posterior / dorsal
toward the back
anterior / ventral
toward the front
superior / cranial / cephalad
toward the head
inferior / caudad / caudal
toward the feet
medial
toward the midline
lateral
away from the midline
ipsilateral
same side
contralateral
opposite side
bilateral
both sides ( only flexion and extension)
unilateral
one side ( only lateral flexion and rotation of the spine)
superficial
toward the surface
deep
away from the surface
intermediate
in between
central
toward the center
peripheral
away from the center
abduction
moving away from the midline (based on 3rd digit of hand)
adduction
moving toward the midline (based on 3rd digit of hand)
rotation
turning a bone around it's long axis
internal / medial rotation
rotation toward the midline
external / lateral rotation
rotation away from the midline
pronation
palms face back, soles face laterally (aka version at the ankle)
supination
palms face front, soles face medially (aka inversion at the ankle)
circumduction
one body part is fixed while the other transcribe a circle
protration
moving anterior in a horizontal plane (head, mandible, humid and spatula)
retraction
moving posterior in a horizontal plane (head, mandible, hyoid and scapula)
radial deviation
movement of hand / wrist towards radius (abduction of hand)
ulnar deviation
movement of hand / wrist toward ulna (adduction of hand)
elevation
moving superior in a ventrical plane (mandible, hyoid, scapula and ribs)
depression
moving inferior in a ventrical plane (mandible, hyoid, scapula and ribs)
apposition
thumb pad to side of fingers
opposition
thumb pad to tip of 5th digit (pinky)
flexion
decreasing angle of a joint
extension
increasing angle of a joint
lateral flexion
flexion to the side, occurs in head / neck and trunk (spine moving side to side)
sagittal plane
divides body into left and right. (flexion and extension occurs)
midsagittal plane
right and left halves
coronal / frontal plane
divides body into anterior and posterior. (lateral flexion occurs)
horizontal / transverse plane
divides body into superior and inferior. (rotation occurs)
oblique plane
runs at any other angle
sagittal axis
lateral flexion (in the neck), abduction and adduction
frontal / coronal axis
flexion and extension
longitudinal axis
rotation
joint (definition)
articulation between bones
functions of a joint
holds bones together and movement usually
functional joint
is based upon the amount of movement in a synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic or a diarthrotic joint
structural joint
is based upon it's tissue type in a fibrous, cartilaginous or synovial joint. also based on presence / absence of a joint cavity
synarthrotic joint
allows no movement
synarthrotic joint types
sutures of the skull, gomphosis (teeth) and syndesmosis (interosseous membrane)
amphiarthrotic joint
allows slight movement
amphiarthrotic joint types
pubic symphysis and IVDs (intervetebral discs of the spine)
diarthrotic joint
allows greater movement
fibrous joint
fibrous CT with no joint cavity
fibrous joint types
sutures of the skull, gomphosis (teeth) and syndesmosis
cartilaginous joint
cartilage with no joint cavity
cartilaginous joint types
pubic symphysis and IVDs (intervetebral discs of the spine)
synovial joint
synovial membrane and joint cavity
synovial joint types
ginglymus / hinge, pivot, gliding / plane, condyloid / ellipsoidal, saddle and ball and socket / spheriod
ginglymus / hinge joint
allows for flexion and extension in the knees, elbows, PIPs, IPs and DIPs
pivot joint
allows for rotation of atlas on axis and proximal radius on ulna
gliding / plane joint
glide or slide over another such as the inner carpal / inner tarsal joints and the facet joints of the spine
condyloid / ellipsoidal joint
allows flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and circumduction of MCP joints
saddle joint
allows flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and circumduction of the CMC joint of the thumb
ball and socket / spheriod joint
allows flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction and rotation of the femoroacetabular joint (hip) and the glenohumeral joint (shoulder)
