For example, when standing up, the knees are extended. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, extension is movement in the posterior direction. [10] Extension of the hip or shoulder moves the arm or leg backward. [11] Even for other upper extremity joints – elbow and wrist, backward movement results in extension.
Forward is defined as the direction in which the object is moving. Backward is then defined as the opposite direction to forward. Alternatively, 'forward' may be the direction pointed by the observer's nose, defining 'backward' as the direction from the nose to the sagittal border in the observer's skull. With respect to a ship 'forward' would ...
There are several synonyms that refer to human positioning, often used interchangeably, but having specific nuances of meaning. [1] Position is a general term for a configuration of the human body. Posture means an intentionally or habitually assumed position. Pose implies an artistic, aesthetic, athletic, or spiritual intention of the position.
You’re also moving your body in an atypical way. Most people spend their days living and moving in the sagittal plane (forward and backward motion), and almost exclusively in the forward ...
Astern (adjective): toward the rear of a ship (opposite of "forward"). [10] Athwartships: toward the sides of a ship. [1] Aweather: toward the weather or windward side of a ship. [11] Aweigh: just clear of the sea floor, as with an anchor. [12] Below: a lower deck of the ship. [1] Belowdecks: inside or into a ship, or down to a lower deck. [13]
First half-box: Forward-side-together Second half-box: Backwards-side-together. Every step is with full weight transfer. During the second and fourth step it is advised the foot to travel along two sides of the box, rather than along its diagonal. [2] Rhythm varies, e.g., it is "1-2-3,4-5-6" in Waltz and "slow quick quick, slow quick quick" in ...
Movements to any directions: blue: wheel drive direction; red: vehicle moving direction. a) Moving straight ahead, b) Moving sideways, c) Moving diagonally, d) Moving around a bend, e) Rotation, f) Rotation around the central point of one axle. A Mecanum wheel is an omnidirectional wheel design for a land-based vehicle to move in
Backward motion is less energy efficient, [3] but backward running can reduce knee pain, [4] and more freedom of movement is possible with backward running due to less coordination. [5] Training this way can also increase metabolic efficiency with forward running. [6]
