  1. Anatomical Opposites anterior vs. posterior superior vs. inferior medial vs. lateral proximal vs. distal palmar vs. plantar abduction vs. adduction eversion vs. inversion internal rotation vs. external rotation flexion vs. extension plantar flexion vs. dorsiflexion pronation vs. supination radial deviation vs. ulnar deviation protraction vs. retraction

  2. Anatomical Position Stand straight up with palms forward

  3. Anterioror front - EX. Knees are located on the anterior surface of the body Posterioror back - EX. Scapula is located on the posterior surface of the body

  4. Superior – upper or above another. - EX: The head is superior to the feet Inferior – lower or below another. - EX: The feet are inferior to the head.

  5. Medial – toward the mid-line of the body • Lateral – away from the mid-line of the body

  6. Proximal – toward the point of attachment to the body • Distal – Away from the point of attachment to the body

  7. Palmar – palm of hand Plantar – bottom of foot

  8. Abduction – To move away or deviate from the midline of the body Adduction – deviate toward or draw toward the midline of the body

  9. Eversion – turning outward Inversion – turning inward

  10. External rotation – rotary motion in the transverse plane away from the midline Internal Rotation – rotary motion in the transverse plane toward the midline internal rotation external rotation

  11. Flexion – to bend; when a joint is flexed, the part distal to the joint bends Extension – To straighten; when the part distal to a joint extends and decreases joint angle

  12. Lateral bending – movement from the midline in the frontal plane, occurs in the neck and back

  13. Plantar flexion – movement of ankle downward Dorsiflexion – movement of ankle upward

  14. Pronation–the palm is turned downward; laying on your stomach supination Supination – the palm is turned upward; laying on your back pronation

  15. Radial Deviation – Wrist abduction Ulnar Deviation – Wrist adduction

  16. Retraction – to pull in a backward motion Protraction – to elevate and push towards the frontal plane protractionretraction

  17. Rotation – movement around an axis

  18. It is possible to combine motions to describe a movement. - Ex. Abduction external rotation of the shoulder complex

  19. Body Planes and Sections • Sagittal Plane – lengthwise cut that divides the body into right and left halves. • Movements: - Flexion/Extension - Hyperextension -Plantar/Dorsiflexion

  20. Transverse Plane – horizontal cut that divides the body into upper and lower parts • Movements: - int/ex rotation - supination/pronation - right/left rotation - horizontal ab/adduction

  21. Frontal Plane – divides body into anterior and posterior portions • Movements: -abduction/adduction - radial/ulnar deviation - inversion/eversion - lateral flexion
