18. Reference Systems

19. Reference Systems Why? Absolute vs Relative Absolute Reference Frame
Segments intersect in joint center & movement of segment is described with respect to that joint

20. Reference Systems Why? Absolute vs Relative Absolute Reference Frame
Relative Reference Frame
Movement of segment described relative to adjacent segment

21. Reference Systems Spatial Reference Frame
Movement of body relative to ground
Occurs in xyz directions x
Up (+)
Forward (+) z
Down (-)
Backward (-) y
Left (+)
Right (-)

22. Reference Systems Cartesian Coordinate System Fixed reference point
x,y and z coordinates

23. Anatomical Planes & Axes
Plane of Motion
2 dimensional flat surface
Axis
point about which movement occurs
perpendicular to the plane of movement
Whole Body Planes and Axes
Segmental Planes and Axes

24. Anatomical Planes

25. Planes of movement Sagittal left/right halves
Perpendicular Axis - Frontal or Mediolateral

26. Planes & Axes Frontal Plane Anterior/posterior halves
Axis - Anteroposterior or Sagittal

27. Planes & Axes
Transverse Plane
Upper/lower halves
Axis - Longitudinal

28. Other Planes and axes Diagonal or Oblique plane of movement
perpendicular to the plane
