Transcript of Scoliosis – lateral spinal curvature Commonly in thorax Treated before bone growth is completed...
Scoliosis – lateral spinal curvatureCommonly in thoraxTreated before bone growth is
completed Kyphosis –dorsal spinal curvature
HunchbackResults from osteoporosis, rickets, etc.
Lordosis – ventral lumbar curvatureHeavy belly load (potbelly, pregnant)
Flexion:
•Bending movement along the sagittal plane
•Decreases the angle of a joint
•Brings the articulating bones closer together
Extension:
•Opposite of flexion
•Straightening movement along the sagittal plane
•Increases the angle at a joint
•Moves the articulating bones further apart
Circumduction:
•Combination of flexion, abduction, extension and adduction
•Moving a limb in a conical shape
Turning the femur towards the midline
(medial rotation)
Turning the femur away from the midline
(lateral rotation)
Supination:•Movement of the radius and ulna
•Lateral rotation of the arm so palm faces superiorly
•Anatomical position•Ulna and Radius are parallel
