• Unit 1 – Anatomical Directions and Movement
Terminology
– I can define terminology used to describe anatomical locations.
– I can differentiate between the cardinal anatomical planes.
– I can define terminology used to describe anatomical
movements.
– I can describe anatomical locations using correct medical
terminology.
– I can apply anatomical movement terminology to specific
anatomical actions.
Anatomical Position
• Anatomical position
– Standard reference
point
• Body standing erect
(upright)
• Facing forward
• Arms at side
• Palms and toes
directed forward
Reference Positions
• Fundamental position
– Similar to anatomical position
– Arms more relaxed
– Palms face inward
• Relative angle
– Included angle between two
segments
Cardinal Planes
• Sagittal
– Left and right halves
– Mediolateral axis
– Midsagittal plane
• Frontal (coronal)
– Front and back halves
– Anteroposterior axis
• Transverse (horizontal)
– Upper and lower halves
– Longitudinal axis
• Many other planes
exist
• Cranial / Superior
• Caudal / Inferior
• Anterior:
• Posterior:
• Ventral:
• Dorsal:
• Superficial
• Deep
• Medial:
• Lateral:
• Distal:
• Proximal:
• Ipsilateral – on
the same side
• Contralateral –
on opposite
sides
Flexion & Extension
• Flexion
– Decreasing joint angle
• Extension
– Increasing joint angle
• Hyperflexion
– Flexion beyond normal
range
• Hyperextension
– Extension beyond normal
range
Abduction & Adduction
• Abduction
– Moving away from midline
• Adduction
– Moving toward midline
• Hyperabduction
– Abduction past 180° point
• Hyperadduction
– Adduction past 0° point
Movement Descriptors
• Circumduction:
– Movement in a conic
fashion
– Combination of flex,
ext, abd, add, IR, ER
Movement Descriptors
• Inversion
– Lift medial edge of foot
• Eversion
– Lift lateral edge of foot
Movement Descriptors
• Plantarflexion
– Increase angle
between foot and
shank
• Dorsiflexion
– Decrease angle
between foot and
shank
Movement of the Scapulae
• Elevation – raising the
scapula (shrug)
• Depression –
lowering the scapula
Movement of the Scapulae
• Protraction – move
scapulae apart
• Retraction – move
scapulae together
Movement of the Scapulae
• Upward rotation –
bottom of scapula
moves away from
trunk
• Downward rotation –
return to normal
Other Movement Descriptors
• Horizontal adduction
– Combination of
flexion and
adduction
• Horizontal abduction
– Combination of
extension and
abduction
Other Movement Descriptors
• Rotation
– Medial (internal) or
lateral (external)
– Right/left for head
and trunk
– Shoulder or hip
Other Movement Descriptors
• Medial/Internal
Rotation: rotation of
the bone inward
around the long axis
of the bone
Other Movement Descriptors
• Lateral/External
Rotation: rotation of
the bone outward
around the long axis
of the bone
Specialized Movement Descriptors
• Lateral Flexion:
– Head or trunk only
– Example: head tilts
sideways
Specialized Movement Descriptors
• Supination – turn
palms frontward
• Pronation – turn
palms backward
• Radial flexion – hand
toward thumb
• Ulnar flexion – hand
toward little finger
• Opposition – Thumb
to little finger
Movement Descriptors of the
Foot
• Plantarflexion
– Increase angle between foot and shank
• Dorsiflexion
– Decrease angle between foot and shank
• Inversion
– Lift medial edge of foot
• Eversion
– Lift lateral edge of foot
Pronation and Supination of the
Foot
• Pronation and supination of the
feet are not the same as
inversion and eversion
• Pronation of the foot
– Dorsiflexion at the ankle
– Eversion in the tarsals
– Abduction of the forefoot
• Supination of the foot
– Plantarflexion at the ankle
– Inversion in the tarsals
– Adduction of the forefoot
Specialized Movement Descriptors
• Anterior Tilt
• Posterior Tilt
• Lateral Tilt
Degrees of Freedom
• Degree of freedom
– Number of planes in which a joint has the ability to move
• 1 degree of freedom
– Uniaxial
– Example: Elbow
• 2 degrees of freedom
– Biaxial
– Example: Wrist
• 3 degrees of freedom
– Triaxial
– Example: Shoulder
