IB SEHS Topic B.1.1 Joint Movement Types

What type of movement does an ice-skater perform during a spin?

• Moving about the horizontal axis.

• Moving about the vertical axis.

• Moving in a circular path on the ice.

• Moving in a zigzag pattern.

What is the vertical axis in joint movement?

• An imaginary line that runs from top to bottom through the body, around which rotational movements occur.

• A horizontal line that divides the body into upper and lower parts.

• A fixed point around which all movements are measured.

• A line that runs from side to side through the body, allowing lateral movements.

In which plane do abduction and adduction occur?

• Sagittal plane

• Transverse plane

• Frontal plane

• Oblique plane

What is the role of the coronal plane in joint movement?

• It allows for movements such as flexion and extension.

• It allows for movements such as rotation.

• It allows for movements such as abduction and adduction.

• It allows for movements such as elevation and depression.

What is flexion in joint movement?

• A bending movement that increases the angle between two body parts.

• A straightening movement that decreases the angle between two body parts.

• A bending movement that decreases the angle between two body parts.

• A rotational movement around a joint.

What is adduction in joint movement?

• Adduction is the movement of a limb toward the midline of the body.

• Adduction is the movement of a limb away from the midline of the body.

• Adduction is the rotation of a limb around its axis.

• Adduction is the bending of a limb at a joint.

What is extension in joint movement?

• A movement that decreases the angle between two body parts.

• A straightening movement that increases the angle between two body parts.

• A circular movement around a joint.

• A movement that involves bending a joint.

What is the transverse plane?

• A plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.

• A plane that divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) sections.

• A plane that divides the body into left and right sections.

• A plane that divides the body into proximal (closer to the center) and distal (further from the center) sections.

What is the frontal plane?

• A plane that divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) sections.

• A plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.

• A plane that divides the body into left and right sections.

• A plane that divides the body into medial (middle) and lateral (side) sections.

What is an example of a movement in the sagittal plane?

• A forward or backward bend.

• A lateral side stretch.

• A rotational twist of the torso.

• A jumping jack.
