  1. Directional Terms and Joint Movements Miss Van Heuven

  2. Horizontal vs. vertical • Make sure that you know the difference between horizontal and vertical! • Horizontal (side to side) • Vertical (up and down) • Hint: To help you remember, think about the sun rising and setting over the “horizon”

  3. Anatomical directional terms • Anterior • The front, or in front of • Posterior • The back, or behind (towards the rear)

  4. Anatomical directional terms • Distal • Away from, furthest from the origin • Proximal • Near, closest to the origin

  5. Anatomical directional terms • Superior • Above, over • Inferior • Below, under

  6. Anatomical directional terms • Lateral • Away from the mid-line (center) • Towards the sides • Medial • Towards the mid-line (center) • Away from the sides

  7. PAUSE • Pause for “Body Planes and Directional Terms” review • (Use knee ligaments as an example)

  8. Synovial Joints • Synovial Joints (also known as Diarthroses) are freely moveable joints • These joints allow 18 different movements

  9. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Flexion • Movement that decreases the angle between 2 bones

  10. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Extension • Movement that increases the angle between 2 bones

  11. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Hyperextension • Movement beyond the natural range of motion

  12. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Abduction • Movement of the limbs away from the middle of the body • (Describes movement of limbs only)

  13. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Adduction • Movement of the limbs toward the middle of the body • (Describes movement of limbs only)

  14. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Rotation • Movement of a bone on an axis, toward or away from the body

  15. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Circumduction • Circular movement of limbs around an axis • The proximal portion of the limb remains stationary • Proximal = where the limb attaches to the body • The distal portion moves in a circle • Distal = the point on the limb that is furthest from the proximal attachment

  16. Joint Movements Activity • Pause for a class activity. (SIMON SAYS) • Can students demonstrate knowledge of these joint movements?

  17. Teacher Slide • Anterior • Posterior • Distal • Proximal • Horizontal • Vertical • Lateral • Medial • Superior • Inferior • Flexion • Extension • Hyper-extension • Rotation • Adduction • Abduction

  18. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Supination • To turn upward • To face a limb or body towards the ceiling • Ex: Turn palm upward so that it faces the sky

  19. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Pronation • To turn downward • To face a limb or body towards the ground • Ex: turn palms downward so that they face the floor

  20. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Plantar Flexion • Movement that extends the foot • Ex: Pointing your toes like a ballerina

  21. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Dorsiflexion • Movement that flexes the foot • Ex: Try to touch your toes to the front of your shin

  22. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Inversion • Turns the sole of the foot inward (medially)

  23. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Eversion • Turns the sole of the foot outward (laterally)

  24. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Protraction • Moving a body part forward (in the transverse plane) • Ex: shoulders and jaw

  25. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Retraction • Moving a body part backwards (in the transverse plane) • Ex: Neck or jaw

  26. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Elevation • Lifting a body part upward (superiorly) • (Occurs in the frontal plane) • Ex: Shoulders

  27. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Depression • Moving a body part downward (inferiorly) • (Occurs in the frontal plane) • Ex: Shoulders

  28. Types of Synovial Joint Movements • Opposition • Moves the thumb to the tips of the other fingers • (That is why they are called “Opposable thumbs”)

  29. TIME TO DANCE! • Create a new dance • Write down all of the moves using anatomical joint movement cues • Name your dance • Perform it yourself or nominate someone in the room!!
