A | B |
Abduction | transverse plane- lateral rotation- away from the center |
Transverse | Divides top and bottom |
Frontal | Divides front and back |
saggital | divides left and right |
adduction | transverse plane- medial rotation of the foot (toward the center) |
Inversion | frontal plane- rotates in and up -sole toward midline |
Eversion | frontal plane- rotates out and up- sole away from midline |
Plantarflexed | foot is positioned below transverse plane |
dorsiflexed | foot is positioned above transeverse plane |
pronation | tri-plane motion-abduction, dorsiflexion and eversion |
supination | tri-plane motion adduction, platarflexion and inversion |
mobile adaptor | pronated foot upon strike -loose bag of bones that adapts to variance in terrain |
rigid lever | supinated foot that propels body forward in locomotion |
STJ | subtalar joint |
Degrees | unit in which pronation and suponation are measured |
lateral | On the side away fro the mid-line sagittal plane |
medial | on the side closer to the mid-line sagittal plane |
dorsum surface | the top part of the foot |
plantar surface | the sole of the foot |
Varus | fixed structural position where foot appears inverted |
valgus | fixed structural position in which foot appears everted |
