Question

Type answers please-Thank you!

Sagittal Plane

1. Name the axis that sagittal plane motions occur around Frontal

2. Name the motion that occurs when the forearm moves:

·         Anteriorly in the sagittal plane Flexion

·         Posteriorly in the sagittal plane Extension

3. Name the Muscles that causes each of those motions:

Transverse Plane

1. Name the axis that transverse plane motions occur around ______________________

2. Assume the starting position with the elbow joint at 90 degrees of flexion with thumbs pointed to the ceiling, Name the motion that occurs when:

·         The palm of the hand turns towards the floor _______________________

·         The palm of the hand turns to the ceiling       _______________________

3. Name the Muscles that causes each of those motions:

      Kinematically analyze the muscles working at the elbow when performing volleyball serve, include if the muscle is an agonist, antagonist, or stabilizer, and what type of contraction is occurring.

      If an athlete injured the medial collateral ligament what muscles would be important to strengthen, why?

      In response to the previous question, name (3) exercises someone could perform to strengthen these muscles.

Reverse Case Study

An athlete comes to you stating they have “golfers elbow”. What is golfers elbow? What structures are involved?

What presentation do you think you would see for the manual muscle tests and ROM we learned?

Explanation / Answer

1. Frontal axis

It is an invisible line that travels from left to right side of the body.

2.A. when the forearm moves anteriorly in sagittal plane the angle between two articulating limbs decreases, its called as flexion

B. When the forearm moves posteriorly in sagittal plane the angle between two articulating limbs increases, its called as extension.

3. muscles causing flexion of forearms called as flexor group, namely brachialis, biceps brachii and brachioradialis.

Muscles causing extension of forearms called as extensors, namely triceps brachii and anconeus.
