Club pilates written exam + Basic anatomy
and terminology
Origin
Attachment of a muscle on more strong bone
attachment of a muscle that remains fairly constant during muscular contraction
Lateral refers to
far from the midline of body
Superior
above
ex: my head is superior to my feet
Inferior
Below
Lower on the frame, farther from the pinnacle
ex: my toes are inferior to my head
Proximal
Closer to head
Distal
similarly away from head
ex: the knees are distal to the shoulders
Upper/Lower Body Terms
,Distal - in addition
Proximal - closer
Superior - above
Inferior - underneath
A "root' word which means arm
Brachial
Sideways motion
Abduction
Adduction
Lateral
Medial
Positon = Coronal
Forward Backward Movement
Flexion
Extension
Position - Sagital
Upper arm bone
humerus
Rotation
Turning/twisting motion
Eccentric
During eccentric contraction, muscle elongates, while underneath anxiety, due to an opposing
force being extra then force generated by means of muscle
i.E artwork extends out from bicep curl
concentric
contraction that shortens a muscle
, Pronation
motion that turns the palm down
Supination
motion that turns the palm up
Inversion
Turning the only of the foot inward / closer to midline
Eversion
turning the sole of the foot outward / far from midline
Dorsiflexion
bending of the foot or the feet upward
ex: flex ft at some stage in leg raises
Plantar flexion
bending of the sole of the foot with the aid of curling the toes closer to the floor
ex: pointed toes at some point of leg increases
Retraction
Posterior (returned) movement of the arms on the shoulders
Protraction
Anterior (ahead) movement of the hands on the shoulders
Depression
motion in downward (inferior) course
ex: shrug shoulders down (depression happens)
Elevation
