Flexion

This helps maintain a neutral pelvis and optimal lumbar curve. The primary movements of the abdominals are flexion, rotation, lateral flexion, anti-lateral flexion, and stabilization. The rectus abdominis is a long muscle that extends from the crest of the pubis to the rib cage. The primary function of the rectus abdominis is flexion of the trunk. The lowest fibers contribute to flexion at the hip joint as well. In order to optimize function of the rectus abdominis…

such as plantar flexion, extension, and flexion, in order to execute backwards marching properly During the process of backwards marching, one lifts onto their toes in a fluid motion, this requires the use of the ankle joints. The ankle joint, also known as the Talocrural, is located in between the Talus, tibia, and fibula creating a type of synovial joint called a hinge joint. The hinge joint allows movement in only one plane, allowing the foot to exercise dorsiflexion, plantar flexion,…

15. You notice that Ryan 's mother tries to pull his arms through the sleeves of his shirt/jacket from his hands. She tells you that he is stubborn and just pulls the other way when she 's trying to dress him. Discuss why "physiologically" this is happening and offer some suggestions you might make to Ryan 's mother to make dressing easier. In children with CP, it can be difficult to dress and undress due to unwanted movements caused by stiffness related to tone. I would demonstrate a tapping…

There are six fundamental movements or primary movements which occur where the joints are located between the body segments. These movements are flexion (frontal plane, and shoulder) extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction. As explained in our text, flexion is a decrease in the angle between two body segments, whereas extension is an increase in the angle between two body segments. Abduction is a movement away from the body, whereas adduction is a movement toward the…

stance phase. It causes concentric contractions of the quadriceps muscles (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius and the vastus medialis). The foot is not going into full plantar flexion but the preparatory phase is where it starts. They’re many muscles that bring the foot into plantar flexion. The main key muscles that would cause the concentric contraction are the gastrocnemius, soleus, Achilles tendon, peroneus longus, peroneus brevis, tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum…

origin: Long head: Supraglenoid tubercle above the superior lip of glenoid fossa Short head: Coracoid process of scapula and upper lip of glenoid fossa Insertion: Tuberosity of radius and bicipital aponeurosis Action: Flexion of elbow, supination of forearm, weak flexion of shoulder joint Exercise: Bicep curl, hammer curl, barbell curl. Triceps brachii- origin: Long head: Infraglenoid tubercle below inferior lip of glenoid fossa scapula Lateral head: Upper half of posterior or…

Achilles tendon rupture is known as the strongest and longest tendon in the human body. Achilles tendon rupture is defined as a rope like tendon of a fibrous tissue in the back of the ankle that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. When it is torn it usually happens two inches above the heel bone. The common symptoms of a rupture are swelling, stiffness, bruising. In addition, there are serve symptoms as too hearing a pop or snap in the Achilles. Serve pain in the back of the leg; it…

Synovial joint Angles of the Hip Hailey Rubin and Angie Allen Purpose: To analyze the full range of motion of the hip flexion and extension by measuring the joint angles. Methods: We decided to use the Hudl Technique app to film hip in a squatting motion from fully extended to full flexion of the hip. The Technique app made it possible to pause the video, allowing the ability to measure the angle from the top of the Iliac crest to the knee to the ankle. We choose to record in front of the dark…

11. Extensor pollicis brevis a. The extensor pollicis brevis originates on the posterior distal surface of the radius, and inserts on the proximal posteriolateral surface of the thumb (AnatomyExpert, 2014). b. Its main functions are to extend the metacarpal bone and the 1st phalanx (AnatomyExpert, 2014). 12. Abductor pollicis longus a. The abductor pollicis longus originates on the middle posterior surface of the ulna and radius, and inserts onto the proximal posteriolateral end of the 1st…

with the hemi-pelvis immobilized. The sacrum appeared to follow the lumbar spine during trunk flexion, extension, side bending, and rotation. During lumbar rotation, the sacrum rotated to the same side and bent to the opposite side. If side bending was introduced first in the trunk, rotation occurred to either side. Lumbar spine traction resulted in sacral extension and lumbar compression in sacral flexion” (1, p.81). The sacrum responds to the lumbar to counter-balance the moves it makes to…
