Biomechanics Ch.2

Front 1

Angular

Back 1

Involving rotation around a central line or point

Front 2

axis of rotation

Back 2

Imaginary line perpendicular to the plane of rotation and passing through the center of rotation.

Front 3

Linear

Back 3

Along a line that may be straight or curved ,with all parts ofthe bodyh moving in the same direction at the same speed

Front 4

Longitudinal Axis

Back 4

imaginary line passing from top to bottom through the body and around which transverse plane rotation occurs

Front 5

Sagittal plane movements

Back 5

Flexion, extension and hyperextension, dorsiflexion and plantar flexion

Front 6

Frontol plane movements

Back 6

Abduction, adduction, lateral flexion, elevation, dpression, inversion, eversion & radial/ulnar deviation

Front 7

Transverse plane movements

Back 7

Left and Right rotation, medial lateral rotation, supination, pronation, horizontal abduction/adduction

Front 8

General Motion

Back 8

Involving translation and rotation simultaniously.

Front 9

Sagittal axis

Back 9

Imaginary line passing front to back through the bod and arond which frontal plane rotations ocur

Front 10

Frontal Axis

Back 10

Imaginary line pasing through the body from side to side and around which saggital plane rotations occur.

Front 11

Transverse Plane

Back 11

Horizontal body movements occur when body is in standing motion

Front 12

Frontal Plane

Back 12

Lateral movements of the body an a body segement occurs

Front 13

Saggital PLane

Back 13

Forward and backward movements of the body and of body segments occur

Front 14

Cardinal Planes

Back 14

Three imaginary perpendicular regerences planes that divide the body in half by mass
