Arthrokinematics - answer✔Movement pattern relative to bone surface movement within a joint
(usually more internal)
Axis of motion - answer✔Line around which an object rotates lying within the joint
Biomechanics - answer✔Study of movement
Closed chain movement - answer✔Functional movements involving a distal (nonmoving)
segment that the proximal axis of a joint moves together in relation to the fixed point (push up or
squat)
Elasticity - answer✔Muscles ability to stretch and return to original shape
End feel - answer✔The feel of a joint during passive ROM at end range
Functional anatomy - answer✔Body structures and how they relate to day to day movements
Functional mobility - answer✔Process of body moving from one position or place to another
Isotonic - answer✔Muscle contraction that changes muscle length and produces joint motion
(walking, running, weightlifting)
Isometric - answer✔Muscle contraction that does NOT change muscle length or produce joint
motion (planking)
Kinesiology - answer✔Study of anatomical structures and mechanics related to human
movement
Length tension relationship - answer✔Muscle strength in relationship in relation to
strength/stretch during contraction
Occupational performance - answer✔Engaging in meaningful activities as an individual or group
Occupations - answer✔Everyday activities that people do to bring meaning and purpose to their
life
Open chain movement - answer✔Functional movements involving a proximal segment (non
moving) that the distal aspect of the joint moves together in relation to fixed point (leg or bicep
curl)
Osteokinimatics - answer✔Movement of bones in relation to one another (more visible)
Performance patterns - answer✔Actions involving motor process and social interaction
contributing to occupational performance
Planes of motion - answer✔Fixed planes (saggital, frontal, and transverse) that segments of
human body move through
Surface anatomy - answer✔Palpable anatomy visible on the skin
ADLs - answer✔Activities of daily living
Anatomical position - answer✔Head forward, arms at side (palm up), feet shoulder-width apart
Saggital Plane - answer✔divides the body into a right and left side
- Flexion and extension movments
Frontal Plane - answer✔Divides the body into front and back portions
(abduction and adduction movements such as lateral raise)
Transverse plane - answer✔divides the body into superior and inferior parts
-rotation
Axes of Motion - answer✔A straight line around which a joint rotates
Frontal axis - answer✔Medial to lateral (runs a joint from side to side)
Saggital axis - answer✔Anterior to posterior ( front to back)
Vertical axis - answer✔Inferior to superior (feet through head)
Muscle Orgin - answer✔Refers to attachment that is moved the least (usually proximal)
Muscle Insertion - answer✔Refers to more movable attachment of muscle (usually distal)
palpation - answer✔Using touch to feel physical features of body
Tensile Force - answer✔Pulling applied with joint motion as tendon transfers force from muscle
tissue to bone (pulls apart)
