Terminology

1.       Flex- to move or bend muscles to cause flexion.

2.       Balance-  the ability to control the equilibrium.

3.       Center of Gravity – point around which a body’s weight is equally balanced in all directions.

4.       Weight – attractive force that the earth exerts on a body.

5.       Lateral – away from the midline of the body.

6.       Abduct- “to take away”, moving a body segment away from the midline of the body.

7.       Extension- the act or instance of extending.

8.       Vertically- the direction aligned with the direction of the force of gravity.

9.       Adduct – “to add to”, moving a body segment toward the midline of the body.

10.   Anterior – toward the front of the body.

11.   Supinate- rotating the hands or wrists away from the body.

12.   Inferior – farther away from the head.

13.   Distal – away from the trunk.

14.   90 degrees- forming a right angle.

15.   Medial – toward the midline of the body.

16.   Frontal Plane- plane in which lateral movements occur.

17.   Sagittal Plane - plane in which forward and backward movements occur.

18.   Static Stretching- maintaining a slow, controlled, sustained stretch over time, usually lasting about 30 seconds.

19.   Stiffness- stress/strain in a loaded material; stress divided by the relative amount of change in shape.

20.   Strain- amount of deformation divided by the original length of the structure or by the original angular orientation of the structure.

21.   Flexibility- the relative ranges of motion allowed at a joint in different directions.

22.   Muscular Power- the product of muscular force and the velocity of muscle shortening.

23.   Range of Motion – the angle through which a joint moves from anatomical position to the extreme limit of segment motion in a particular direction.

24.   Base of Support- area bound by the outermost regions of contact between a body and a support surface.

25.   Stability- ability of a joint to resist abnormal displacement of the articulating bones.

26.   Muscular Strength- the amount of torque a muscle group can generate at a joint.
