Movements at joints of the body
Description
This program, divided into three parts, uses live subjects to demonstrate various body movements. The first part focuses on movements at the synovial joints-gliding movements (typified in the wrist area); rotation movements (medial and lateral); and angular movements (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction) Special movements include inversion, eversion, protraction, retraction, pronation, elevation, and depression. A second part examines the actions of muscles in specific areas of the body, including face, head, spine, extremities, and abdomen. Part three features a self-quiz complete with teacher instructions.
