Anatomical Positioning
What is the term that means toward the front of the body?
A: Superior - B: Proximal - C: Anterior - D: Posterior
Anterior
This term describes movement away from the body or body part's midline.
Abduction
_________ describes palm of the hands turning downward into a posterior position when arm is down at side?
Pronation
__________ muscle contraction causes the muscle to decrease/shorten in length, and the angle at the joint to decrease.
Concentric Contraction
This plane of motion divides the body between the right & left sides. The motion is: Flexion / Extension. Examples: Squat, walking, lunging.
What is the term that means toward the lower part of the body?
A: Depression - B: Superior - Posterior - Inferior
Inferior
This term describes the bending of the joint that decreases the angle; bending at the elbow or knee.
Flexion
This term describes palm of hand turning upward.
Supination
This type of contraction causes the muscle to increase/lengthen in length, and the angle at the joint to increase. Referred to as negative part of the movement.
Eccentric Contraction
This plane of motion splits the body between inferior (lower) and superior (upper) parts of the body.
Transverse Plane
What is the tern that means, furthest from the point of origin of the center of the body?
A: Distal - B: Proximal - C: Lateral - D: Abduction
Distal
__________ describes movement of non-angular joints over each other?
__________ describes extension that is less than normal, under-extended.
Gliding
Hypoextension
__________ describes pointing the foot downward (lifting heel off the ground)?
Plantar flexion
This type of contraction, where the load on the muscle is greater than the generated tension. Pushing against an object that is immovable.
Isometric Contraction
In which plane of motion is lateral raise, side bends, pull-downs, and military press in?
Frontal Plane
This term means, both sides of the body. Example: Performing extension & flexion with either both arms, and/or both legs.
A: Unilateral - B: Flexion - C: Extension - D: Bilateral
Bilateral
This term describes the motion of a circular movement, like rotating the foot around the ankle, or arm circles.
Circumduction
This term describes turning both feet inward so that the soles face each other?
Inversion
This term is basically a technical term for what we recognize as being a simple contraction (contraction producing movement).
Isotonic Contraction
What is the motion of the Transverse Plane?
Internal / External Rotation
What term describes, toward outer surface?
A: Deep - B: Superficial - Superior - Anterior
Superficial
This term describes backward (posterior) movement of a body part; generally referring to scapulae and skill/cervical spine. Example: Moving shoulder blades together.
Retraction
This term describes (ankle) pointing the the foot upward toward the shin (toes to shin)?
Dorsiflexion
____________ is the type of contraction where the muscle contracts and shortens at a constant rate of speed, allows the muscle to gain strength evenly all through the entire ROM. Need special machines.
Isokinetic Contraction
What is another name for the Frontal Plane?
A: Anterior Plane - B: Lateral Plane - C: Coronal Plane D: both b and c
Answer: both b and c
