- Front
- Back
Sagital Plane |
Bisects body in half right and left halves. Sagital movements move forward and backwards. movement happens around medial-lateral axis. Joint movements are flexion and extension Flexion: bend Extension: extend out. Examples: cycling, squatting |
|
Frontal Plane 1 of 2 |
Divides body into front/rear halves. Movements occur in side to side motions. Rotation happens around anterior and posterior axis. (abduction, adduction, lateral flexion, eversion, inversion) Example: jumping jacks, side lunges. Lateral arm raise, side step, side shuffle |
|
Transverse Plane (1 of 2) |
Bisects body into top and bottom halves. Movements occur parallel to plane and rotational motions. movement happens around longitudinal axis. (Internal rotation, external rotation, pronation, supination, horizontal abduction, horizontal adduction) Example: Ballet Pirouette, cable rotation, or any rotation and extension movement combo. |
|
Frontal Plane (2 of 2) |
Frontal Joint Movements: Abduction: body segment moving away from midline Adduction: body segment moving toward midline Lateral Flexion: Bending of spine from side to side (Right and Left) Foot- Eversion: Bottom of foot rotates outward creating arc Foot-Inversion: Bottom of foot rotates inward. |
|
Transverse (2 id 2) |
Internal rotation: mediaal rotation/inward rotation of limb External rotation: lateral rotation/outward Forearm- Pronation- forearm rotates inward Forearm- Supination- Forearm rotates outward Horizontal Abduction: Movement away from midline, begins with flexion at shoulder or hip towards anterior position Horizontal Adduction- Movement from lateral to anterior position with shoulders or hip joint in anteriorly fixed position |
|
Kinesiology |
Study of movement of human body |
|
Biomechanics |
Evaluation of how physics (outside force) affects body and movement. analysis after applying principles of proper technique combined with observation |
|
Anterior |
towards the body |
|
posterior |
backside of body |
|
superior |
Above landmark, closest to head |
|
inferior |
towards bottom of body |
|
proximal |
towards center of body or landmark |
|
distal |
furthest from center or landmark |
|
medial |
closest to midline midline- contained within imaginary line that splits body into equal halves |
|
Lateral |
away from midline of body |
|
midline |
midline- contained within imaginary line that splits body into equal halves |
|
contralateral |
Opposite side of the body |
|
Ipsilateral |
same side of body |
|
3 planes of motion |
sagital, frontal, transverse |
|
3 axis of reference (in relationship to 3 planes of motion) |
medial lateral, anterior-posterior, longitudinal |
|
Sagital Plane, Flexion and Extension - Body parts |
Flexion occurs in anterior direction of body in Ankle, hip, knee, trunk, upper extremities, neck. Flexion |
|
Multiplanar |
Occuring in more than 1 plane of motion |
|
How does Flexibility training affect our various systems in the body? |
Flexibility training affects the neuromuscular system by improving the communication betweenthe nervous system and the muscular system |
|
Corrective exercise |
Corrective exerciseThe programming process that identifiesneuromuscular dysfunction, developsa plan of action, and implements acorrective strategy as a part of anexercise training program. |
|
Neuromuscular efficiency |
Neuromuscular efficiencyWhen the neuromuscular system allowsagonists, antagonists, and stabilizers tosynergistically produce muscle actionsin all three planes of motion. |
|
Relative flexibility |
Relative flexibilityThe human movement system’s wayof finding the path of least resistanceduring movement. |
