Glossary of Terms Ch. 6


 

Center of Gravity–The force of the earth pull(change from sitting to standing)

Center of Pressure- monitoring the frontal area (buttocks)

Compression – forces that act toward one another (pushing together)

Dampening – when the tissue in the body gets soft

Density – weight to volume (durability)

Envelopment – when a person sinks into the cushion (buttock is pushed down)

Equilibrium – (balance) concentration off

Fixed Deformity- It is when an individual have long term damage to their ligaments (bone damage)

Force

Frictional Forces – when your body is going away from one another (friction)

Fulcrum – body movement (hips)

Gravitational Line – push on the body (posture)

Linear – lines that are compatible to one another

Line of Application–(pushing or pulling) force of direction

Mobility – helps lean forward (move body parts)

Pelvic Obliquity – when one side of the pelvic is higher (bigger than the other one)

Pelvic - muscle tone (hipbone)
Rotation – moves around the axis (reclining back

Planar- flat parts that helps the body move (support)

Pressure – force applied over the body (heavy force upon the body)

Pressure Ulcer – force that is put upon the tissue in the stomach (sores)

Recovery–when cushion has went to it old shape (beginning state)

Resilience – helps the body get its shape (when parts are uplifted off the body

Rotational – moving around the body

Scoliosis – (spine) disease of the spine

Shearing – when forces are lined up (sliding pass)

Sliding Resistance – (cushion) relates to friction in the body

Stability – helps you stand straight (mobility)

Stability Zone – (deals with balancing) sitting

Stiffness (movement failure) hard to mobilize the body

Stress – (tension) change in the body

Tension – pushing away from one another (force on the spine)

Windswept Hip Deformity- (dislocation) when one hip is out of place
