Objectives To identify the different positions To understand the association between base of support and different body positions and who they affect the stability To identify the anatomical positon To identify the planes of motion and the axis To identify the movement occur in each plane To identify the movement in different positions  M.A.-1st/07 Reference positions Anatomical position – most widely used & accurate for all aspects of the body – standing in an upright posture, facing straight ahead, feet parallel and close, & palms facing forward Fundamental Anatomical Fundamental position – is essentially same as anatomical position except arms are at the sides & facing the body All Joints @ 0except Ankle @ 90 Forearm varies 2  M.A.-1st/07 Reference positions 3  M.A.-1st/07 Description of human movement Human movement is divided into two components: 1. Plan of motion 2. Axes of rotation 4  Planes of Motion and Axes of Rotation PLANES of Motion AXES of Rotation SAGGITAL Frontal axis (Mediolateral or side- (FRONT TO BACK MAKING TWO to-sie) HALVES, LEFT AND RIGHT) FRONTAL (SIDE TO SIDE MAKING TWO Sagittal axis (Anteroposterior) HALVES, FRONT AND BACK) TRANSVERSE (TRANSVERSE MAKING TWO Longitudinal / vertical (up-down) HALVES, TOP AND BOTTOM) Frontal Plane Movements: Abduction & Adduction Frontal Plane Movements: Radial / ulnar deviation Lateral Flexion Eversion / Inversion Transverse Plane Movements: Supination / Pronation Internal/ external rotation Sagittal plane movements Flexion, Extension & Hyperextension Abduction and Adduction Frontal Plane Movements: Lateral Flexion Special Hand & Foot Movements Inversion Eversion Dorsiflexion Plantarflexion Pronation Supination Special Hand & Foot Movements Medline for hand Medline for foot Transverse Plane Movements: Supination / Pronation Internal/ external rotation Transverse Plane Movements:  Circumduction Movement of a distal end of a body part in a circle Combination of flexion, extension, adduction and abduction Occurs at ball and socket, saddle and condyloid joints Special Movements of Mandible Elevation = upward Depression = downward Protraction = forward Retraction = backward Scapula motion What is the movement, plane of motion, axis when someone is lying supine? What is the plane of motion and axis when you are standing with the arm in 90 degrees abduction and you flex and extend your elbow - We compare the motion to the anatomical position and we rotate the entire system
