Anatomical terms of motion Flexion describes a bending movement that decreases the angle between two parts. Bending the elbow, or clenching a hand into a fist, are examples of flexion. When sitting down, the knees are flexed. Flexion of the hip or shoulder moves the limb forward (towards the anterior side of the body). Extension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts. In a conventional handshake, the fingers are fully extended. When standing up, the knees are extended.

Anatomical terms of motion For example, bending the elbow, or clenching a hand into a fist, are examples of flexion. When sitting down, the knees are flexed. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, flexion refers to movement in the anterior direction. Flexion of the shoulder or hip refers to movement of the arm or leg forward. Extension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, extension refers to movement in the posterior direction.

Planes of Movement Flexion and Extension Flexion is a movement in the sagittal plane, which decreases the angle at the moving joint. Extension is the opposite movement, which increases the angle at the joint.

Walking Computer simulation of a human walk cycle. In this model the head keeps the same level at all times, whereas the hip follows a sine curve. Walking (also known as ambulation) is one of the main gaits of locomotion among legged animals. Walking is typically slower than running and other gaits. Walking is defined by an 'inverted pendulum' gait in which the body vaults over the stiff limb or limbs with each step. This applies regardless of the number of limbs - even arthropods, with six, eight or more limbs, walk.

- Scoliosis is a lateral (toward the side) curvature in the normally straight vertical line of the spine. When viewed from the side, the spine should show a mild roundness in the upper back and shows a degree of swayback (inward curvature) in the lower back.When a person with a normal spine is viewed from the front or back, the spine appears to be straight.pproximately 2% to 3% of Americans at age 16 have scoliosis. Less than 0.1% have spinal curves measuring greater than 40 degrees, which is the point at which surgery becomes a consideration.

Anatomical terms of motion These terms come from the Latin words with the same meaning. Abduction refers to a motion that pulls a structure or part away from the midline of the body. In the case of fingers and toes, it refers to spreading the digits apart, away from the centerline of the hand or foot.

decerebrate posture decerebrate posture. the position of a patient, who is usually comatose, in which the arms are extended and internally rotated and the legs are extended with the feet in forced plantar flexion. It is usually observed in patients afflicted by compression of the brainstem at a low level. Also called decerebrate rigidity.

Types of Body Movements Abduction and adduction motions occur within the coronal plane and involve medial-lateral motions of the limbs, fingers, toes, or thumb. Abduction moves the limb laterally away from the midline of the body, while adduction is the opposing movement that brings the limb toward the body or across the midline. For example, abduction is raising the arm at the shoulder joint, moving it laterally away from the body, while adduction brings the arm down to the side of the body.

- It's about having your limbs dead straight so that the elbows and knees don't bend when compressed. If you leave just enough of a bend in your legs, when you land from a jump, your knees will fold and your legs will tuck up underneath you which acts like suspension.

What is the difference between antalgic vs trendelenburg gait? Trendelenburg gait. The Trendelenburg gait pattern (or gluteus medius lurch) is an abnormal gait (as with walking) caused by weakness of the abductor muscles of the lower limb, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. People with a lesion of superior gluteal nerve have weakness of abducting the thigh at the hip.

Movement 1. Flexion of the shoulder. -movement that DECREASES the angle of the joint. -usually occurs along the sagittal plane. 2. Extension of the shoulder. -movement that INCREASES the angle of the joint. -usually occurs along the sagittal plane. 1. Flexion of the hip.

rigidity 3. In neurology, one type of increase in muscle tone at rest; characterized by increased resistance to passive stretch, independent of velocity and symmetric about joints; increases with activation of corresponding muscles in the contralateral limb. Two basic types are cogwheel rigidity and lead-pipe rigidity.

Types of Body Movements Abduction and Adduction. Abduction and adduction motions occur within the coronal plane and involve medial-lateral motions of the limbs, fingers, toes, or thumb. Abduction moves the limb laterally away from the midline of the body, while adduction is the opposing movement that brings the limb toward the body or across the midline. For example, abduction is raising the arm at the shoulder joint, moving it laterally away from the body, while adduction brings the arm down to the side of the body. Similarly, abduction and adduction at the wrist moves the hand away from or toward the midline of the body. Spreading the fingers or toes apart is also abduction, while bringing the fingers or toes together is adduction.

Summary An exception is flexion of the thumb, which takes place in a frontal plane about a sagittal axis. Movement in the sagital plane about the frontal axis. Abduction/Adduction These are movements in the frontal plane about the sagital axis and involve moving the body part away or towards an imaginary centre line.Abduction is taking the body part away from the central line and adduction is moving it towards. Median can also refer to the midsagittal plane of other structures, such as a digit. 2  A coronal or frontal plane is perpendicular to the ground and divides the body into dorsal (posterior or back) and ventral (anterior or front) portions.

How To Grow Tall Sativa Marijuana Strains Indoors Some sativa marijuana seeds will produce marijuana plants up seven or eight feet indoors. Many marijuana growers don't have this kind of space in their grow room to plant marijuana seeds that reach dizzying heights.Yet the marijuana high and weed taste makes growing sativa marijuana seeds very desirable.arijuana growers who opt to grow sativa weed seeds can also use FIM or other supercropping techniques to manage the height of their cannabis plants. Sativa marijuana seeds often take to supercropping much better than indica cannabis plants that tend to be short and squat.

Anatomical terms of motion Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms. Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body.xtension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, extension refers to movement in the posterior direction. For example, when standing up, the knees are extended.

Planes of Movement Legs together and knee straight; Toes pointing straight forwards; Arms by the side; Palms facing forwards; Movements. Flexion and Extension . Flexion is a movement in the sagittal plane, which decreases the angle at the moving joint. Extension is the opposite movement, which increases the angle at the joint. Many types of synovial joint are capable of flexion and extension (hinge; ball and socket; saddle; condyloid) including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip and knee.
