A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
1) Introduction (2 mins)
Welcome to Lesson 4!
I hope you had fun creating artistic movement patterns! In this lesson, we will go further into our study of
movement and look into more technical terms of human anatomy.

Let’s have a short review:

Identification: Identify what is being asked for. Put your answer on the space provided.

_________________ 1. To move body part in an arc like a pendulum.

_________________ 2. To spring or push off the floor with one foot and landing on the other foot from one
position or place to another.
_________________ 3. The act of spiraling or contortion of the body or parts of the body.
_________________ 4. It is a combination of a step and a hop on the same foot. It is performed alternately
with both feet.
_________________ 5. It is a combination of a walk and a cut that occurs in an uneven rhythm. If you step
onto the right foot, the cut is performed by the left foot to the right foot.
_________________ 6. It is the extending or the reaching out of the normal or proper limits of a joint.
_________________ 7. To spring off the ground or floor with one or both feet landing on both feet in place or
to any direction.
_________________ 8. It is to curve a part or whole body by shortening the muscle or drawing together of
body parts.
_________________ 9. The movement occurs over the point of attachment and should be initiated close to
the attachment.
_________________ 10. To draw toward self a person or thing imaginary o real with force.

The Science of Human Movement

What is Human Movement?

Biomechanics and Body Movement- is the science of movement of a living body. Including how
muscles, bones and ligaments work together to produce such movement.

Human Movement science is defined by Frank Stuart (2012) as the scientific study of how the human
body works, with a focus on improving the workings of the human body for sport, fitness, and well-
being.

Body movements are described in relation to the anatomical position of the body.

Key facts about the anatomical terminology

Anatomical Reference position in anatomy: The person is standing upright, with the arms
position hanging by the side, palms facing forward, and thumbs pointing away from the
body. The feet are slightly parallel, and toes oriented to the front.

Anatomical Imaginary planes that intersect the body, creating slices of various organs and
planes structures.
Main anatomical planes: Median (mid-sagittal), sagittal, frontal (coronal), transverse
(axial)

Directional terms Anatomical terms used to describe the position and relation between various
structures.
Main directional terms: Anterior, posterior, ventral, dorsal, proximal, distal, median,
medial, lateral, superior, inferior, cranial, caudal, external, internal, superficial, deep,
palmar, dorsal, plantar

Movements Changing the position of a body part around a certain axis and in one of the
anatomical planes.
Main types of movements: Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, lateral rotation,
medial rotation, circumduction, pronation, supination, inversion, eversion

Anatomical Areas of the human body defined by the landmarks provided by evident structures
regions that are easily palpable or visible.
Main regions: Head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, upper extremity, lower extremity

Directional terms and relations

Anterior In front of or front

Posterior In behind of or behind
Superior Towards the top of the head
Inferior Towards the feet
Medial Towards the median
Lateral Away from median
Proximal Closer or towards the trunk or the point of origin of the body part
Distal Away or farthest away from the trunk or the point of origin of the body part
Superficial Nearer to the surface
Deep Farther from the surface

Types of Movement
Now that we’ve looked at planes and relations, let’s learn the anatomy terms that describe movements. As you
know, joints are the junction of two or more bones and allow movements to take place in various directions and
degrees of motion. Non-skeletal structures like the lips, tongue and eyelids also move, but their associated
movement terms are specific.

When describing joint movements, two factors are included:

• Axis, or fulcrum, around which the specific part moves
• Plane of the movement

Movement terms

Flexion Decreasing the angle between two structures

Extension Increasing the angle between two structures

Plantarflexion Flexion of the plantar (underside) part of the foot

Dorsiflexion Flexion of the dorsum (top) part of the foot

Abduction Moving away from the midline

Adduction Moving towards the midline

Protrusion Moving straight ahead or forwards (tongue, mandible)

Retrusion Moving backwards (tongue, mandible)

Protraction Moving forwards and laterally simultaneously

Retraction Moving backwards and medially simultaneously

Depression Moving downwards

Elevation Moving upwards

Medial (internal) Spiral movement towards the midline

rotation

Lateral (external) Spiral movement away from the midline

rotation

Rotation (trunk) Twisting motion towards or away from the midline

Flexion (trunk) Side (lateral flexion) or forward (anterior flexion) bending

Extension (trunk) Bending backwards

Pronation Medial rotation of the radius, resulting in the palm of the hand facing
posteriorly (if in anatomical position) or inferiorly (if elbow is flexed)

Supination Lateral rotation of the radius, resulting in the palm of the hand facing anteriorly
(if in anatomical position) or superiorly (if elbow is flexed)

Circumduction Combined movement starting with flexion, then abduction, extension, and
ending with adduction

Deviation Movement of the wrist joint towards the radial or ulnar sides (radial deviation,
ulnar deviation)

Opposition Touching the pad of any one of your fingers with the thumb of the same hand

Reposition Separating the pad of any of your fingers from the thumb of the same hand

Inversion Plantar side of the foot is moved towards the median plane

Eversion Plantar side of the foot is moved away from the median plane

Read some of the answers to these Frequently Asked Questions to add to your knowledge
about today’s topic:

Q: Do all kinds of injuries require you to be in the supine (face up) position?
A: No. When your injuries are in the back or hips, you need to be in the prone (face down)
position.

Q: What body part is the most commonly injured?

A: The shoulders and the wrist are the most commonly injured body parts. It is important
to make sure to include the bigger muscles groups and larger joints in activities.
Example, when lifting, don’t just rely on your arms, engage your legs and your core.
