1
Scoliosis – lateral spinal curvature Commonly in thorax Treated before bone growth is completed Kyphosis –dorsal spinal curvature Hunchback Results from osteoporosis, rickets, etc. Lordosis – ventral lumbar curvature Heavy belly load (potbelly, pregnant)
3
Flexion: Bending movement along the sagittal plane Decreases the angle of a joint Brings the articulating bones closer together
4
Bending the head forward on the chest
5
Bending the knee Raising the arm in an anterior direction
6
Extension: Opposite of flexion Straightening movement along the sagittal plane Increases the angle at a joint Moves the articulating bones further apart
7
Straightening the knee Moving the arm to a point posterior to the shoulder
8
Tilting the head backwards
9
Abduction: Movement along the coronal plane Away from the midline
10
Moving the arm sideways, away from the body Moving the fingers away from the third digit
11
Adduction: Opposite of abduction Towards the midline
12
Moving the arms towards the midline of the trunk Moving the fingers towards the third digit
13
Circumduction: Combination of flexion, abduction, extension and adduction Moving a limb in a conical shape
14
Twirling the arm Twirling the thumb
15
Rotation: Turning the bone along its own axis
16
Turning the head
17
Turning the femur towards the midline (medial rotation) Turning the femur away from the midline (lateral rotation)
18
Elevation Lifting in a superior direction Shrugging the shoulders Closing the mouth
19
Depression: Moving in an inferior direction Opening the mouth
20
Protraction: Anterior movements in a transverse plane Jutting the jaw out
21
Retraction: Opposite of protraction Moving the jaw back
22
Dorsiflexion: Lifting the foot
23
Plantar-flexion: Depressing the foot
24
Inversion: Turning the sole of the foot medially
25
Eversion: Turning the sole of the foot laterally
26
Supination: Movement of the radius and ulna Lateral rotation of the arm so palm faces superiorly Anatomical position Ulna and Radius are parallel
27
Pronation: Opposite of supination Medial rotation of the arm so palm faces inferiorly Relaxed positio n Ulna and Radius are crossed
