Individuals with joint laxity or hypermobility should

Strength surrounding tissues to encourage stability and be cautious during high force and high impact activity.

Skeletal muscle serves three purposes. What are they?

1. Pulls on tendons attached to the skeleton which produce movement.


2. Produces tension to maintain posture and sustain body position.


3. Support soft tissue.

Muscle fascia is a type of fibrous connective tissue that serves three purposes. What are they?

1. Separates individual muscles and muscle groups.


2. Provides shape to the arranged fibers it contains.


3. Maintains intramuscular tension.

Separates _ _ and _ _

Myofibrils are made up of:

Long, cylinder-like fibers. (Muscle cells)

Myofilaments are protiens within _?

Myofibrils! These set the action of muscle into motion. Thick myofilaments are known as myosin, then filaments are known as actin.

Anatomical position?

Standard reference position for the body used when describing locations, positions, and movements of limbs or other anatomical structures.

Standard whatty?

Sagittal plane

Dissects the body down the center in two side-by-side halves

Forward lunge

Frontal plane

Dissects the body into front and back halves

Cable lat pulldown

Transverse plane

Dissects the body into Superior and inferior components

Cable trunk rotation

Anterior

In front or placed before

Posterior

Located behind a part or toward the rear

Medial

At, in, near, or being the center. Dividing a person into left and right halves.

Lateral

Position or movement away from the midline of the body

Proximal

Situated nearest the point of attachment or origin

Distal

Situated farthest from point of attachment or origin usually in reference to limb or bone

What makes up the axial skeleton?

Skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column, rib cage.

How many segments does the skeleton consist of?

Two, the axial and appendicular skeleton.

What is the appendicular skeleton?

The limbs and their respective girdles.

Flexion

To bend. In hinge joints, the articulating bones move closer together. In ball and socket joints, the limb moves anterior to the midaxillary line.

Extension

To straighten or extend. In hinge joints the articulating bones move away from each other. In ball and socket joints, the limb moves posterior to the mid axillary line.

Lateral flexion

Spinal movement to the left or the right, occurs at the neck and the trunk.

Protraction

Movement of a structure towards the anterior surface in a horizontal line. The only joints capable of protraction are the shoulder joint and the jaw.

Retraction

Movement back to the anatomical position, or posterior to the functional range of motion. The only joints capable of retraction are the shoulder joint and the jaw.

Dorsiflexion

Movements of the ball of the foot towards the shin.

Plantar flexion

Foot movement towards the plantar surface (ankle extension)

Pronation

Rotation of the forearm where the radius and ulna cross. Palms face posterior.

Supination

Rotation of the forearm where the radius and ulna face uncross. Palms face anterior.

Inversion

Turning of the ankle so the plantar surface of the foot faces medially

Eversion

Consists of turning the ankle so the plantar surface of the foot faces laterally

Abduction

Movement away from the midline

Adduction

Movement toward the midline

What are the five regions of the vertebral column?

The cervical vertebrae, the thoracic vertebrae, the lumbar vertebrae, the sacral bone, and the coccygeal bone.

Which two regions of the spine have a lordotic curvature?

The cervical and lumbar regions.

Which two regions of the spine have a kyphotic curvature?

The thoracic and the sacral regions.

When the knee passes the plane of the toe during flexion, the action forces undesirable movement of the tibia called what?

Tibial translation, which disrupts patella tracking.
