ANATOMICAL BASES ON HUMAN MOTION

1) SUPERIOR
- CLOSER TO HEAD
2) INFERIOR
- FARTHER AWAY FROM HEAD
3) ANTERIOR
- TOWARD FRONT OF BODY
4) POSTERIOR
- TOWARD BACK OF BODY
5) MEDIAL
- TOWARD MIDLINE OF BODY
6) LATERAL
- AWAY FROM MIDLINE OF BODY
7) PROXIMAL
- CLOSER TO TRUNK
8) DISTAL
- AWAY FROM TRUNK
9) SUPERFICIAL
- TOWARD SURFACE OF BODY
10) DEEP
- INSIDE THE BODY AWAY FROM SURFACE

PLANES

TWO DIMENSIONAL SURFACED DEFINED BY SPATIAL COORDINATES OF THREE DISCRETE POINT

1) SAGITTAL PLANES
- FORWARD / BACKWARD MOVEMENTS
2) FRONTAL PLANES
- LATERAL MOVEMENTS
3) TRANSVERSE
- ROTATIONAL MOVEMENTS

i) MEDIOLATERAL AXIS
- IMAGINARY LINE AROUND WHICH SAGITAL PLANE ROTATION OCCUR
ii) ANTEROPOSTERIOR AXIS
- IMAGINARY LINE AROUND WHICH FRONTAL PLANE ROTATION OCCUR
iii) LONGITUDINAL AXIS
- IMAGINARY LINE WHICH TRANSVERSE PLANE ROTATION OCCUR

- ERECT STANDING POSITION WITH ALL BODY PARTS FACING FORWARD
- STARTING POINT FOR ALL BODY SEGMENT MOVEMENTS

PREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE
- PURPOSE OF THE SKILL
- CAUSE OF PERFORMANCES ERROR
- HOW KNOWLEDGE CAN BE GAINED

PLANNING
- WHAT QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED
- WHAT ANGLE / PERSPECTIVE SHOULD THE MOVEMENT VIEWED
- HOW MANY OBSERVATIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN

CONDUCTING THE ANALYSIS
1) IDENTIFY QUESTION / PROBLEM
2) MAKE DESICIONS
- VIEWING ANGLE
- VIEWING DISTANCE
- PERFORMER ATTIRE
- ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATIONS
- USE OF VIDEO
3) COLLECT OBSERVATIONS
- VISUAL
- AUDITORY
- FROM PERFORMER
- FROM OTHER ANALYSIS
4) INTERPRET OBSERVATIONS
5) COMMUNICATE WITH PERFORMER
REFINE QUESTION
6) END ANALYSIS

- STANDARDIZING DESCRIPTIONS OF HUMAN MOTION
- USED CARTESIAN COORDINATE SYSTEM
- HUMAN BODY JOINT CENTERS LABELED WITH NUMERICAL X / Y COORDIINATES

1) SAGITTAL PLANE
- FLEXION
- EXTENSION
- HYPERTENSION
- DORSIFLEXION
- PLANTAR FLEXION
2) FRONTAL PLANE
- ABDUCTION / ADDUCTION
- LATERAL FLEXION
- ELEVATION / DEPRESSION
- INVERSION / EVERSION
- RADIAL / ULNAR DEVIATION
3) TRANSVERSE PLANE
- LEFT / RIGHT ROTATION
- MEDIAL / LATERAL ROTATION
- SUSPINATION / PRONATION
- HORIZONTAL ABDUCTION / ADDUCTION
