PRINCIPLES STUDY GUIDE WITH
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED
100% CORRECT

Whole body movement:

 ANS: 3 planes: sagittal, frontal & transverse



Sagittal:

 ANS:
1. Flexion
2. Extension
3. Spinal stability & postural support



Frontal:

 ANS:
1. The lateral system & stability
2. Abduction & lateral support
3. Adduction & medial support



Transverse:

 ANS:
1. Rotational integration
2. Rarely occurs in isolation
3. Typically involves sagittal & frontal movements
4. Observe at the local & global level – rotation around thorax & pelvis is global,
and shoulder, hip & limb joints are local

, Posture & alignment:

 ANS: The 3 Es:
1. Ease
2. Economy
3. Efficiency



Ease:

 ANS: Neutral posture should have an easy quality.



Economy:

 ANS: Requires little energy to maintain neutral posture & perform movements.



Efficiency:

 ANS: For the most return in terms of effectiveness, efficient movement through &
around all planes of motion can occur.



Front Vertical Alignment - Torso:

 ANS:
1. Nose
2. Centre of sternum - flat breastbone
3. Navel - belly button
4. Centre of pubic bone



Front Vertical Alignment - Legs:

 ANS:
1. Inside ASIS - hip bones
2. Centre of patella - kneecap
3. Centre of front of ankle
4. Space between 1st & 2nd toe
