BASI PILATES: MAT WORK THEORY - MODULE 1 & 2
(Actual 2025)
Define the extension range of motion. - <<Answers>>.A
movement that increases the angle between itself and the
proximal body part. When a joint can move forward and
backward, such as the neck and trunk, it refers to movement
in the posterior direction. Movement of the hip or shoulder
joint are referring to the leg or arm moving backwards.
Define hyperextension. - <<Answers>>.Excessive
movement/position in the direction of extension. Eg. knees,
elbows, lumbar and cervical curvatures of the spine.
Define the abduction range of motion. -
<<Answers>>.Movement away from the mid-sagittal plane.
Define medial: - <<Answers>>.It refers to being toward the
mid-line of the body or the median (mid-sagittal) plane, which
splits the body, head-to-toe, into two halves, the left and right.
Define lateral: - <<Answers>>.It is the side of the body or a
part of the body that is further away from the mid-line.
Define ipsilateral: - <<Answers>>.Refers to things on the
same side of the body (Right arm, right leg).
Define contralateral: - <<Answers>>.Refers to things on
opposite sides of the mid-sagittal plane (Right arm, left leg).

(Actual 2025)
Define superior: - <<Answers>>.This refers to the vertical
axis of the human body. This describes a part of the body that
is HIGHER than another.
Define inferior: - <<Answers>>.This refers to the vertical axis
of the human body. This describes a part of the body that is
LOWER than another.
Define the adduction range of motion. -
<<Answers>>.Movement towards the mid-sagittal plane.
Define the lateral flexion range of motion. -
<<Answers>>.Movement of the head, neck, and trunk in the
coronal plane, or the sagittal axis.
Define the multi-directional or gliding range of motion. -
<<Answers>>.Flat or curved surfaces articulating one another
(eg. scapulae).
Define the circumduction range of motion. -
<<Answers>>.This is a combination of flexion, abduction,
extension and adduction.
Define the rotation range of motion. - <<Answers>>.Takes
place in the transverse plane around the longitudinal axis.
