Study Notes
Anatomical Planes and Movements
- Frontal plane bisects the body into anterior and posterior sections
- Sagittal plane (not mentioned, but implied) bisects the body into left and right sections
- Transverse plane bisects the body into superior and inferior sections
Movements
- Abduction: movement of a limb away from the midline of the body
- Adduction: movement of a limb towards the midline of the body
- Examples:
- Hip: abduction (leg moves out), adduction (leg moves in)
- Shoulder: abduction (arm moves out), adduction (arm moves in)
Specific Movements
- Radial deviation: movement of the hand towards the radius bone (thumb side)
- Ulnar deviation: movement of the hand towards the ulna bone (pinky side)
- Lateral flexion: movement of the head or spine to the right or left
- Inversion: movement of the foot so that the sole faces inward
- Eversion: movement of the foot so that the sole faces outward
- Internal rotation: rotation of a limb towards the midline of the body
- External rotation: rotation of a limb away from the midline of the body
- Supination: rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces upward
- Pronation: rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces downward
