Chapter 2 Anatomical Movement Terminology
Analyzing Human Movement • consistent descriptive terms • accurately describe actions • identify critical actions • Cover quickly, from KNR 181
Standard reference terminology: Anatomical reference position. Is this position neutral? -”palms forward” requires muscle activity

Superior Anterior Medial Proximal Superfacial Inferior Posterior Lateral Distal Deep Directional terms:
Anatomical reference planes Cardinal planes: • Sagittal plane • Frontal plane • Transverse plane • Oblique planes Click here to go to a web presentation of these materials
Anatomical Reference Axes • Medio-lateral axis (frontal, transverse) • Anteroposterior axis (sagittal axis) • Longitudinal axis (vertical)
Joint Movement Terminology Sagittal plane movements: • Flexion • Extension • Hyperextension • Dorsiflexion • Plantar flexion Axis????
Frontal plane movements • Abduction • Adduction • Lateral flexion - sideways rotation of the trunk. • Elevation of the shoulder girdle. • Depression of the shoulder girdle. Axis????
Frontal plane movements • Radial deviation - rotation of the hand at the wrist in the frontal plane toward the thumb. • Ulnar deviation - rotation of the hand at the wrist in the frontal plane toward the little finger.
Frontal Plane Movements • Eversion of the foot - outward rotation of the sole of the foot. • Inversion of the foot - inward rotation of the sole of the foot.
Transverse plane movements: • Left rotation of the head, neck, and trunk. • Right rotation of the head, neck, and trunk. • Medial rotation of the arm or leg. • Lateral rotation of the arm or leg. • Supination and pronation of the forearm. • Horizontal abduction and adduction • horizontal extension and flexion Axis????
Other movements: • Circumduction - combination of flexion/extension, abduction/adduction • finger circling in a raised position. • hip • knee • Supination of the foot - inversion, adduction, and plantar flexion. • Pronation of the foot - eversion, abduction, and dorsiflexion.
