Cards

Term
Neck Flexion / Extension
Definition
Anterior / posterior movement of the head in the sagittal plane
Term
Neck Rotation
Definition
Turning of the head in the transverse plane
Term

Neck Sidebending 

(Lateral Bending)

Definition
Sideways movement of the head in the frontal plane
Term
Trunk Flexion / Extension
Definition

Anterior / Posterior movement of the trunk in the sagittal plane 

(think toe touching or back bending)

Term
Trunk Rotation
Definition
Turning of the trunk in the transverse plane
Term

Trunk Sidebending

(Lateral Bending)

Definition
Sideways movement of the trunk in the frontal plane
Term
Bilateral muscle contraction
Definition
When 2 paired (mirrored) muscles are contracting simultaneously
Term
Unilateral muscle contraction
Definition
When only one of muscle of a mirrored pair is contracting
Term
Ipsilateral
Definition
Motion happening in a direction that is the same as the side of the body the muscle is on
Term
Contralateral
Definition
Motion happening in a direction opposite from the side of the body the muscle is on
Term

Diaphragm OIA
Definition

O: Xiphoid process, lower 6 costal cartilages (interior aspect), L1-L3 vertebral bodies (anterior aspect)

I: Central tendon (clover shaped aponeurosis located at the top of the dome shaped diaphragm)

A: Inspiration (descends upon contraction creating a negative pressure within the lungs causing inspiration)

Term
