Dora Febles Period 5 Special Movements

Background Info. There are over 600 muscles in the human body A skeletal muscle attaches to bone, other muscles or tissues at two or more places. If the bones doesn’t move for an action, the attachment is called an origin If the bones does move for an action, the attachment is called an insertion

Types of Body Movement Different terms are used to describe the movements of muscles on the skeleton such as: Flexion Extension Hyperextension Rotation- lateral and medial Abduction Adduction Circumduction

Special Movements: Dorsiflexion The opposite of flexion For the foot-When you bring your foot up towards the shin For example: when you walk on the heel of your feet For the hand- it’s the same as extension Special Movements: Dorsiflexion

Special Movements: Plantar Flexion The movement at the ankle joints where the toes or foot flex down For example: when you walk on your tip toes or when you press on the pedal of the car Opposite of Dorsiflexion Special Movements: Plantar Flexion

Special Movements: Inversion The movement in which the sole of the foot rotates towards the mid-line of the body For example, when you have something stuck under your shoe so you turn your foot inward to check Opposite of Eversion Inversion Eversion Special Movements: Inversion

Special Movements: Eversion Is the movement when the sole of the foot rotates away from the mid-line of the body. Another way to describe this movement is to say that the plantar surface of the foot turns laterally Term used for turning outward of eye lids or feet For example, when you turn your foot inward (inversion) and then you put your foot back on the ground Special Movements: Eversion

Special Movements: Supination Supination occurs in the lower arm and in the foot The rotation of the forearm so that the palm is facing forward away from the body or up.  is an excessive outward rolling motion of the foot and ankle when walking or running. Opposite of Pronation Special Movements: Supination

Special Movements: Pronation Term used for forearm or foot At the forearm is a rotational movement so the palm is facing backward or down. For example, Spread your fingers out and look at the palms of your hands and the fingers and then rotate your palms to look at your nails. Now look at your palms again. That’s supination and pronation. At the foot is the turning of the sole outwards, so that weight is on the medial part of the foot Special Movements: Pronation

Special Movements: Opposition The relation between the thumb and the other  digits of the hand for the purpose of grasping objects between the thumb and  fingers. In the palm of the hand, the saddle joint between the carpals and metacarpals allows opposition of the thumb so we can complete many tasks For example, when you se your thumb to touch your other fingers Opposition Special Movements: Opposition
