Activity # 1: Foundations of Structural Kinesiology

Joint Movement terminology chart

For each specific motion in the left column, provide the basic motion that it represents in the right
column by using flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, or rotation (external and internal)
SPECIFIC MOTION BASIC MOTION
Eversion
Inversion
Dorsal flexion
Plantarflexion
Pronation
Supination
Lateral flexion
Radial flexion
Ulnar flexion

3. Determine the planes in which the following activities occur..

A. Walking upstairs Frontal plane

B. Turning a knob to open the door
C. Nodding the head to agree Frontal plane
D.. Shaking the head to disagree Transverse plane
E. Shuffling the body from side to Sagittal plane
side
F. Looking over your shoulder to Transverse plane
see behind you

4. Complete the joint type , movement, plane of motion chart by

A. Filling in the type of diarthrodial joint
B. Listing the movements of the joint under the plane of motion in which they occur

PLANE OF MOTION

5. Using proper terminology, complete the joint position Chart below by listing the name of each joint
involved and its position upon completion of the multiple joint movement.

Multiple joint movement Joints and respective position of

each
Reach straight over the superior aspect of
your head to touch the contralateral ear
Place the toe of one foot against the
posterior aspect of the contralateral calf
Reach behind the back and use your thumb
to touch a serious spinous process
Pull the knee as far as possible to the
ipsilateral shoulder
Place the plantar aspect of both feet against
each other

6. Explain why the fibula is more susceptible to fractures than the tibia.

7. Stand facing a closed door. Reach out and grasp the knob, turn it and open the door widely toward
you. Determine all of the joints involved in this activity and list the movements for each joint.
LABORATORY EXERCISES

1. Choose several different locations on your body at random and specifically describe the locations, using
the correct anatomical directional terminology.

2. Determine which joints have movements possible in each of the following planes:
a. Sagittal
b. Frontal
c. Transverse

3. List all the diarthrodial joints of the body that are capable of the following paired movements:
a. Flexion/extension
b. Abduction/adduction
c. Rotation (left and right)
d. Rotation (internal and external)

4. Determine the planes in which the following activities occur. Also, use a pencil to visualize the axis for
each of the following activities.
a. Walking up stairs
b. Turning a knob to open a door
c. Nodding the head to agree
d. Shaking the head to disagree
e. Shuffl ing the body from side to side
f. Looking over your shoulder to see behind you

5. Individually practice the various joint movements, on yourself or with another subject.

6. Locate the various types of joints on a human skeleton and palpate their movements on a living subject.

7. Stand in the anatomical position facing a closed door. Reach out and grasp the knob with your right hand.
Turn it and open the door widely toward you. Determine all of the joints involved in this activity and list the
movements for each joint.

8. Utilize a goniometer to measure the joint ranges of motion for several students in your class for each of
the following movements. Compare your results with the average ranges provided in Appendixes 1 and 2.
a. External and internal rotation of the shoulder with the shoulder in 90 degrees of abduction while
supine
b. Elbow fl exion in the supine position
c. Wrist extension with the forearm in neutral and the elbow in 90 degrees of fl exion
d. Hip external and internal rotation in the sitting position with the hip and knee each in 90 degrees of fl
exion
e. Knee fl exion in the prone position
f. Ankle dorsifl exion with the knee in 90 degrees of flexion versus knee in full extension

9. Discuss the following joints and place them in order from the least total range of motion to the most. Be
prepared to defend your answer.
a. Ankle
b. Elbow
c. Glenohumeral
d. Hip
e. Knee
 f. Wrist

10. Is there more inversion or more eversion possible in the transverse tarsal and subtalar joints? Explain
this occurrence based on anatomy.

11. Is there more abduction or more adduction possible in the wrist joint? Explain this occurrence based on
anatomy.
