Study Smart Tips for Imported Flash Card Set
Master these concepts using proven study techniques that actually work:
Active Recall
Test yourself before flipping each card to strengthen memory retention
Spaced Repetition
Review difficult cards more frequently than easy ones
Multiple Sessions
Break study time into shorter, focused sessions
Explain Aloud
Verbalize answers to reinforce understanding
Questions Covered in This Set
21 cards to master
Arthrokinematics
Movement pattern relative to bone to bone surface movement with joint; usually more internal
Axial skeleton
Bones along the vertical axis of the skeleton including the vertebral column, ribs, sternum, and skull
Axis of motion
Line around which an object rotates lying within the joint
Biomechanics
Study of movement
Cervical spine
Upper portion of vertebral column, formed by 7 cervical vertebrae
Closed chain-movement
Functional movements involving a distal segment (non-moving) that the proximal aspect of the joint moves together in relation to the fixed point
End-feel
Feel of a joint during passive range of motion at end range
Functional mobility
Process of moving the body from one position or place to another
Intra-abdominal pressure
Pressure generated in the abdominal area from contraction of the abdominals, diaphragm, and pelvic floor that stabilizes the lumbar spine
Isotonic
Muscle contraction that changes muscle length and produces joint motion
Isometric
Muscle contraction that does NOT change muscle length or produce joint motion
Kinesiology
Study of anatomical structures and mechanics relative to human movement
Lumbar spine
lowermost portion of the vertebral column formed by five lumbar vertebrae
Open-chain movement
Functional movements involving a proximal segment (non-moving) that the distal aspect of the joint moves together in relation to the fixed point
Osteokinematics
Movement of bones in relations to one another; usually more visible
Planes of motion
Fixed planes (sagittal, frontal, transverse) that segments of the human body move through or parallel to
Radiculopathy
Compression of a spinal nerve root
Surface Anatomy
Palpable anatomy visible on the skin
Thoracic spine
Middle portion of the vertebral column, formed by twelve thoracic vertebrae
Trunk
Core of the body, including the back, abdomen, thorax (chest), and pelvis
Vertebral (spinal) column
The vertebrae that form the skeletal structure of the spine
