Sagittal Plane

Vertical plane that divides the body into left and right parts. Also called anteroposterior plane.

Frontal Plane

Vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts (Front and back.) Also called coronal or lateral plane.



Transverse Plane

Horizontal plane that divides the body into superior and inferior (upper and lower) parts. Also called horizontal plane.



Frontal or Coronal Axis

Axis that passes through the body horizontally from side to side (laterally), it intersects the sagittal plane.

Sagittal or Anteroposterior Axis

Axis that passes through the body horizontally from front and back, it intersects the frontal plane

Vertical (longitudinal) Axis

Axis that passes through the body vertically, it intersects the transverse plane

Name all the sagittal plane/frontal axis in relationship to planes, axes and movement

-Flexion


-Extension


-Hyperextension


-Dorsiflexion


-Planter Flexion

Flexion

Angle between two adjacent bones decrease a the movement progresses

Extension

Angle between two adjacent bones increase, return from flexion

Hyperextension

The continuation of extension beyond the straight line

Dorsiflexion

Moving the top of the foot toward the shin

Plantar Flexion

Moving the sole of the foot downward

Name all the frontal plane/sagittal axis in relationship to planes, axes and movement

-abduction


-adduction


-ulnar deviation


-radial deviation


-lateral flexion


-inversion


-eversion



abduction

sideward movement away from the midline of the body or body part, return from abduction

Adduction

sideward movement toward the midline of the body or body part, return from abduction

Ulnar Deviation

hand moves in direction of the little finger at the wrist

Radial Deviation

hand moves in direction of the thumb at the wrist

Name all the transverse plane/vertical axis in relationship to planes, axes and movement

-outward (lateral, external) rotation


-inward (medial, internal) rotation


-supination and pronation


-neck and trunk rotation

Outward (lateral, external) Rotation

rotation of a body part as a whole in such a way the anterior aspect of the segment turns laterally

Inward (medial, internal) rotation

rotation of a body part as a whole in such a way that the anterior aspect of the segment turns medially

Supination and Pronation

refers respectively to outward and inward rotation of the forearm

Name all the combined planes and axes movements

-circumduction


-horizontal adduction


-horizontal abduction


-diagonal abduction


-diagonal adduction

Circumduction

combo of movements, flexion, extension, abduction adduction performed in sequence, so the segment traces out a conical shape in space

Horizontal Adduction

the upper extremity, first raised to shoulder level, is moved through the transverse plane toward the midline of the body

Horizontal Abduction

The upper extremity, first raised to shoulder level, is moved through the transversed plane away from the midline of the body

Diagonal Adduction

Movement by climb through a diagonal plane toward and across the midline of the body

Diagonal Abduction

Movement by limb through a diagonal plane across and away from the midline of the body

Superior

Toward the head

Inferior

Toward the feet

Posterior

Nearer to the back of the body

Anterior

Nearer to the front of the body

Dorsal

Same as posterior

Ventral

Same as Anterior

Medial

Nearer the midline of the body

Proximal

Nearer the attachment of a limb or a structure; near the source or beginning of a body part

Distal

Farther from the attachment of a limb or a structure; farthest from the source or beginning of a body part

Superficial

Nearer to the surface

Deep

Farther from the surface

Ipsilateral

On the same side

Contralateral

On the opposite side

Radial

Toward the thumb side

Ulnar

Toward the little finger side

Prone

A body position in which the face is down

Supine

A position in which the body is lying face up

Types of biomechanics motions

-Translatory


-Rotatory


-Reciprocating

Translatory

The object is translated as a whole from one location to another (rectilinear, curvilinear, circular). This could be seen in the gliding movements of the plane or irregular joints



Rotatory

Movement occurs about an axis with all parts of the object moving in an arc. This would be most joints

Reciprocating

Repetitive Movement

Factors of Stability to Consider

1. height of center of gravity


2. size of base of support


3. inclining toward an oncoming force


4. friction-an important factor when the body is in motion or is subjected to an external force


5. segmentation-as much as possible body segments should be centered over the base of support

Types of forces

external and internal

What three external forces?

Gravity , friction, and resistance

What are five internal forces

1. muscle contraction


2. compression


3. distraction (reactive)


4. shear


5. combination load

Compression

translator force that applies a force on one joint segment toward the other joint segment

shear

forces that are parallel to body surfaces that may cause shear stress on the material and structures on which they act

Anatomical positon

individual stands erect with bellows fully extended and the palms facing forward. The gleno-humeral joint is in some external rotation and the forearm in slight supination.
