3. Write your reaction to each statement in the Movements ROPOT (odpovědník), your whole text should be about 300 words altogether, roughly. Deadline: 14 November.
- Flexion of the shoulder occurs as a result of the shoulder flexors contracting, which results in the arm moving forwards and upwards.
- Knee
extension occurs due to the quadriceps muscle
group contracting.
- Hip
abduction results from
contraction of the adductor muscle group.
- Because the elbow is a hinge joint, there is little
rotation that occurs.
- When the fingers fully flex, the hand moves into a ‘gripping’ position.
- Since the thoracic spine is quite rigid, very little
spinal extension occurs in this region.
- Neck side
flexion occurs when the chin
moves downwards towards the chest.
- Pronation
of the forearm occurs as a result
of the action of the forearm extensors.
- When you stand up on your ‘tip toes’, your ankle is moving into plantar
flexion.
- Circumduction
can only occur at ball and socket joints, such as the shoulder.
- Ankle
inversion and eversion occur due to
contraction of the hamstrings.
- In the ‘drop foot’ condition, the ankle falls
into plantar flexion because the
ankle dorsiflexors aren’t strong enough to hold the foot up.
