Positions/Planes
The body position of facing forward, palms supinated, feet together, joints in extension
anatomical position
Turning outward
definitive and obvious indicator of a specific condition
sign
MOI, pain characteristics, injury location & related injuries
History
subject, objective, assessment, plan
SOAP note
cuts the body into anterior/posterior halves
coronal/frontal plane
Rotary motion in the transverse plane towards the midline
Internal/medial rotation
the name of a specific condition
diagnosis
Demeanor, movement, posture, asymmetrics, 5 cardinal signs of swelling
Observation
the 4 corresponding regions of the abdomen that are divided for evaluative & diagnostic purposes
abdominopelvic quadrants
jumping jacks won't fit this term, but high-knees & hind-kicks do
sagittal plane
to deviate toward the midline of the body
adduction
perceptible change in a patient's body or its functions that indicates an injury or a disease
symptom
process of using the hands to systematically examine the body by locating or feeling specific anatomic strutures
palpation
a russian twist can be performed here
transverse/axial plane
extreme stretching out of a body part beyond its typical range of motion
hyperextension
structural and functional changes that result from the injury process
pathology
Procedure or tool used to measure joint Range of Motion during the "S"
Goniometer/goniometry
condition following and resulting from a disease or an injury
Sequela
The body position of most or all joints in flexion
fetal position
deviation of a part of the extremity distal to a joint away from the midline of the body
valgus
cause of an injury or disease/aka MOI in sports medicine
etiology
MMT, AROM, PROM
Special Tests
mechanical forces that are applied to the body because of a structural body deviation leading to faulty alignment
pathomechanics
