Front 29

three main cardinal planes of motoin

Back 29

sagittal, frontal, transverse

Front 30

as movment occurs in a given plane, the joint moves or turns about an axis that is __ to that plane

Back 30

90 degrees

Front 31

divides body into equal, bilateral segments, bisects body into 2 equal symmetrical halves or a right and left half, movement occurs along the lalteral axis, e.g, sit up , running, bicep curls

Back 31

sagittal planes

Front 32

divides the bod into front and back halves, movement occurs along the AP axis, E.g. jumping jacks, cartwheels

Back 32

frontal plane

Front 33

divides body into top and bottom halves when the individual is in anatomic position, movment occurs along the vertical axis, e.g. swinging a bat, ptiching a baseball, medicine ball twists

Back 33

transverse plane

Front 34

movements that occur in the sagittal plane (5)

Back 34

flexion, extension, hyperextension, dosriflexion, plantar flexion

Front 35

movements that occur in the frontal plane (9)

Back 35

abduction, adduction, lateral trunk flexion, elevation, depression, inversion, eversion, radial and ulnar deviation

Front 36

movements that occur on the transverse plane (8)

Back 36

left and right rotation, medial and lateral rotation, supination and pronation, horizontal abduction and adduction
