1. Basic Joint Movements

2. BODY MOVEMENTS
MUSCLES ARE ATTACHED TO BONE OR CONNECTIVE TISSUE AT NO LESS THAN 2 POINTS
ORIGIN – ATTACHED TO THE IMMOVABLE OR LESS MOVABLE BONE
INSERTION – ATTACHED TO THE MOVABLE BONE
DURING CONTRACTION THE INSERTION MOVES TOWARD THE ORIGIN

4. TYPES OF BODY MOVEMENTS
FLEXION – DECREASES ANGLE BETWEEN BONES
EXTENSION – INCREASES ANGLE BETWEEN BONES
HYPEREXTENSION – GREATER THAN 180 DEGREES

5. ABDUCTION – MOVE AWAY FROM THE MIDLINE
ADDUCTION – MOVE TOWARD MIDLINE

6. ROTATION – MOVEMENT OF BONE AROUND A LONGITUDINAL AXIS
CIRCUMDUCTION – PROXIMAL END STATIONARY WHILE DISTAL END MOVES IN A CIRCLE

7. Types of Muscles
Prime mover – responsible for movement in muscle group
Antagonist- oppose or reverse a movement
When a prime mover is active its antagonist is relaxed
ex: biceps and triceps

8. Straight forward activities
Wave hello
Tap your foot
Jump
Scratch your nose
Kick a ball
Clap your hands
Touch your toes
Stomp both your feet
High five
Jumping jack

9. Can you do them? Wave hello Tap your foot Jump Scratch your nose
Kick a ball
Clap your hands
Touch your toes
Stomp both your feet
High five
Jumping jack

10. How much thought and planning did it take to accomplish the movement/action once you had decided to engage in it?

11. Imagine that the portions of your brain responsible for coordination of muscular movement are not functional.
Now to achieve any movement at all you must think about what specific muscle you must contract to move your body and when you must relax it in order to allow proper movement

12. When instructed will get into groups of about 3 (NOT RIGHT NOW)
Someone in your group will select an index card that has one of the previously mentioned actions/motions
Do not destroy the index cards as I will be re-collecting them.

13. On a blank sheet of paper you will give step by step instructions on how to perform this movement by listing the muscles that must be contracted and when they must be relaxed in the proper sequence to achieve this movement.
In your instructions identify the origin and insertion of the muscle
Assume that the individual is starting in correct anatomical position.

14. EXAMPLE: Cover mouth
Contract biceps brachii
Contract Teres major

15. Do NOT write the movement you are describing, simply give the step by step instructions on what muscles must be contracted and in what order they must be contracted in order to achieve this action.

16. Go ahead and get into groups
Get a red book
I will come around to give you a card
List of muscles and their movements start on Pg 296

17. You I will now collect the instructions and hand them out randomly to another group who will be acting them out and determining the action you gave instructions for
The group receiving the instructions should list what movement is produced by the contraction of each muscle given to them in the instructions.

18. Wave hello
Tap your foot
Jump
Scratch your nose
Kick a ball
Clap your hands
Touch your toes
Stomp both your feet
High five
Jumping jack
