Module A

This document discusses anatomical movements. It defines terms like flexion, extension, elevation, depression and others. It explains how these movements change the angle between bones or body parts in the saggital, coronal and axial planes. Examples are given of movements like elbow flexion, shoulder extension, and wrist flexion. Key anatomical planes like saggital and coronal are also defined. Resources on anatomical movements are provided.

Anatomical Movements
Learning Outcomes

Discuss the meaning of anatomical movements.

Differentiate the anatomical movements through their


movements.

Demonstrate and execute the anatomical movement through


daily exercise.

Appreciate the important of movement through the


execution.
Resources/Materials
Terms of Anatomical Movement
Anatomical terms of movement are used
to describe the actions of the skeleton
muscles. Muscle contracted to produce
joint movement and subsequent
movements can be precisely described
using the following terminology.
Planes of the Body
Coronal Plane (Frontal Plane) - A vertical
plane running from side to side; divides the
body or any of its parts into anterior and
posterior portions.

Sagittal Plane (Lateral Plane) - A vertical


plane running from front to back; divides the
body or any of its parts into right and left
sides.
Axial Plane (Transverse Plane) - A
horizontal plane; divides the body or any of
its parts into upper and lower parts.

Median Plane - Sagittal plane through the


midline of the body; divides the body or any
of its parts into right and left halves.
These are the following Anatomical
Movements

…Elevation and Depression


Extension and Flexion…
…Gliding
Opposition and Reposition…
Elevation Depression

Refers to lifting Pulling down to an


movement inferior position

Refers to movement Refers to movement


of a body part in a of the body part in an
superior direction or inferior direction or
moving upward. moving downward.
Elevation of Mandible
Flexion Extension

› decreases/reduce the › increase the angle


angle between two between two structures as
structures as they they straighten or move
further apart
bend or move close
together › Occurs in the sagittal
plane

• Angular movement
Elevation of the Scapulae/Shoulders
Elbow/Forearm Flexion
› Angle between
forearm and
arm decreases
as ulna moves
toward
humerus bone.
Elbow/Forearm Extension

Angle between
forearm and arm
increases as
ulna move away
from humerus
bone.
Shoulder/Arm Flexion

Angle at humerus
of arm and scapula
bone decreases as
arms move
anteriorly.
Shoulder/Arm Extension
Angle at
humerus of
arm and
scapula bone
increases as
arms move
anteriorly.
Wrist/Hand Flexion

Angle at the palm


of hand and
anterior surface of
forearm decreases.
Wrist/Hand Flexion

Angle at the
palm of hand
and anterior
surface of
forearm
increases.
Finger/Digit Flexion

Angle
between
digits 2-5
and the
palm
decreases.
Finger/Digit Extension

Angle
between
digits 2-5
and the
palm
increases.
Hip/Thigh Flexion

Angle
between
femur and
hip
decreases.
Hip/Thigh Extension

Angle
between
femur and
hip
increases.
Knee/Leg Flexion and Extension

Angle between Angle between


tibia and femur tibia and femur
decreases increases
Spine Flexion and Extension

Angle between Angle between


spine and hip tibia and femur
decreases increases
Neck Flexion and Extension

Angle between Angle between


Hyper-
head and trunk head and trunk tension
decreases increases
Lateral Spine/Neck Flexion and Extension

Head and trunk Head and trunk returns


bends to left or toward the body midline
right side. also known for reduction
Flexion and Extension
Flexion and extension
Opposition Reposition
› Thumb comes into › return thumb to
contact with another anatomical/original
finger position
› Brings the thumb and › A movement that
little fingers together moves the thumb and
the little finger away
from each other
Opposition and Reposition
Gliding of
Carpal
bones

Gliding occurs
at the plane
joints in the
body
Gliding

Occurs when the surfaces of bones


move past one another in a linear
direction, but without significant rotary or
angular movement
