Week 1 and A&P
PT process
1. Intake
2. Test
3. Plan program together - set goals
4. Do it - help your cliënt achieve their goals and train them
5. Evaluate / test again
6. Remodel program - always
7. All goals achieved? Congrats! now refer me please
Planes of motion
Frontal plane:
● Glass in front of your face and butt -> what exercises can you do.
● Mostly abduction and adduction.
Exercises:
- Lateral raises
- Side bend
- Lateral lunges
Sagittal plane:
● Standing in a really small hallway -> what exercises can you do.
● Front to back movements.
● Almost all flexion and extension movements are in sagittal plane
Exercises:
- Bicep curls
- Crunches
- Calf raises
- Knee raises
- Front raises
- Lunges
Transverse plane:
● All about rotation.
Exercises:
- Russian twist
,It’s not about getting an even amount of each plane, but more of an awareness of the
different directions.
Anatomical directional terms
Anatomical position (palms facing forward)
Superior: Toward the head, or upper/above
Inferior: Toward the feet, lower or below
Anterior/ventral:Further to the front, or in front of
Posterior/dorsal: Further to the back or in back of
,Medial: Toward the midline of the body
Lateral: Toward the side of the body
Proximal: closer to the axial body, toward the trunk
Distal: means further from the axial body, further from the trunk
Superficial: closer to the surface
Deeper: further away from the surface
Axial body: head,neck and trunk
Appendicular body: limps
Anterior view: looking at the body from the front
Posterior view: looking at the body from the back
Lateral view: looking at the body from the side
In the upper limb (arms) flexion is a forward movement of the whole limb or a part of the
limb. Backwards movement of the whole limb or a part of the limb is referred to as extension.
When the upper limb is converted away from the midline, that movement is referred to as
abduction. The movement of the limb towards the midline of the body is referred to as
adduction.
, In certain joints there’s so much versatility of movement that the individual parts can be
moved about several different axes. These are multiaxial joints, such as the shoulder joint.
It’s not only capable of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction, but also internal (medial)
rotation and external (lateral) rotation.
A combination of all of these movements is referred to as circumduction.
Inward rotation of the forearm is pronation.
Moving to the original state is supination.
