Anatomical Movement Terminology: Understanding Human Motion

Learn to consistently describe and identify critical actions in human movement using precise anatomical terms. Covering key terminology from KNR 181, this resource explores directional terms, reference positions, planes, axes, and joint movements. Gain a deep understanding of movements in sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes, as well as specialized actions like circumduction, supination, and pronation. Enhance your knowledge with this valuable guide.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 2 Anatomical Movement Terminology

  2. Analyzing Human Movement • consistent descriptive terms • accurately describe actions • identify critical actions • Cover quickly, from KNR 181

  3. Standard reference terminology: Anatomical reference position. Is this position neutral? -”palms forward” requires muscle activity

  4. Superior Inferior Directional terms:

  5. Superior Anterior Inferior Posterior Directional terms:

  6. Superior Anterior Medial Inferior Posterior Lateral Directional terms:

  7. Superior Anterior Medial Proximal Inferior Posterior Lateral Distal Directional terms:

  8. Superior Anterior Medial Proximal Superfacial Inferior Posterior Lateral Distal Deep Directional terms:

  9. Anatomical reference planes Cardinal planes: • Sagittal plane • Frontal plane • Transverse plane • Oblique planes Click here to go to a web presentation of these materials

  10. Anatomical Reference Axes • Medio-lateral axis (frontal, transverse) • Anteroposterior axis (sagittal axis) • Longitudinal axis (vertical)

  11. Joint Movement Terminology Sagittal plane movements: • Flexion • Extension • Hyperextension • Dorsiflexion • Plantar flexion Axis????

  12. Frontal plane movements • Abduction • Adduction • Lateral flexion - sideways rotation of the trunk. • Elevation of the shoulder girdle. • Depression of the shoulder girdle. Axis????

  13. Frontal plane movements • Radial deviation - rotation of the hand at the wrist in the frontal plane toward the thumb. • Ulnar deviation - rotation of the hand at the wrist in the frontal plane toward the little finger.

  14. Frontal Plane Movements • Eversion of the foot - outward rotation of the sole of the foot. • Inversion of the foot - inward rotation of the sole of the foot.

  15. Transverse plane movements: • Left rotation of the head, neck, and trunk. • Right rotation of the head, neck, and trunk. • Medial rotation of the arm or leg. • Lateral rotation of the arm or leg. • Supination and pronation of the forearm. • Horizontal abduction and adduction • horizontal extension and flexion Axis????

  16. Other movements: • Circumduction - combination of flexion/extension, abduction/adduction • finger circling in a raised position. • hip • knee • Supination of the foot - inversion, adduction, and plantar flexion. • Pronation of the foot - eversion, abduction, and dorsiflexion.
