Document Summary

Internal/external rotation: example= hip/shoulder, planes= sagittal, frontal, transverse, axis: frontal, sagittal, vertical, sellar: saddle , multiaxial, three degrees of freedom, movement: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, 3: example: thumb, planes: sagittal, frontal, transverse, axis: frontal, sagittal, vertical. Terms to know: anterior=to the front, posterior= to the back, superior= above to the top. Movement: example: planks, and wall sits, isotonic: active contractions in the muscles with movement, concentric: typically cause movement so the muscles are shortening, eccentric: when the muscles are lengthening, while contracting. One common movement: example: deltoid 3 different sections, true synergist: isn"t going to have a direct effect on the agonist action, but they cancel the agonist movement. Uniarticular muscles: only has actions at one joint: example: brachialis only crosses the elbow, flexes the elbow. Biarticular muscles: has actions at two joints: example: sartorius crosses the hip and the knee, rectus femoris: crosses at the hip and knee.
