ANATOMICAL POSITION

• WHY?

• Planes of Movement

• Frontal Plane – Divides the Body in front and back Halves

(Anterior/Posterior)

• Sagittal Plane – Divides the Body in Right/Left Halves

• Transverse Plane – Divides Body in Half (upper/lower)

FRONTAL PLANE

• Divides the Body Into Front and Back

-Side to Side Movement

• Example: Jumping Jacks• Side Shuffles

List exercises

SAGITTAL PLANE

Divides Body into Left and Right Sides

Examples:

-walking forward/ backward, seated leg extensions

TRANSVERSE PLANE

Divides Body Into Upper and Lower Halves

“Spinning” “Rotation”

Ex. Jump

turn

• Medial – Towards the Center

• Lateral- Towards the Outer

• Intermedial – In Between

• Proximal – Towards the Center (torso) of the Body

• Distal – Away from the Center

• Superior – Above

• Inferior – Below

• Anterior - front

• Posterior- back

• Supine – face up

-Movement Away from Midline

(Take away from body)

• ADDUCTION ( +)

-Movement towards midline

(ADD to the body)

MUSCLE MOVEMENTS CONT’D…

MUSCLE MOVEMENT

• Static / Isometric contraction

-Muscle stays the same length

• Concentric Contraction

Muscle shortens (flexion)

• Eccentric Contraction

Muscle lengthens (extension)
