3.1 WHAT IS NON-LOCOMOTOR OR AXIAL MOVEMENT AND LOCOMOTOR
NON-LOCOMOTOR OR AXIAL MOVEMENT- is a movement that a person performs while remaining
stationary. The person remains in one spot while the upper body rotates from left to right .

LOCOMOTOR- LOCOMOTOR Loco = Place Motor =Mover - Is a Machine,Animal or

Person that can move from place to another.

3.2 TYPES OF BODY MOVEMENT

LOCOMOTOR :

Walking- Walking is typically slower than running and other gaits. Walking is defined by an
'inverted pendulum' gait in which the body vaults over the stiff limb or limbs with each step. This
applies regardless of the number of limbs—even arthropods, with six, eight or more limbs, walk.
Running - is a method of terrestrial locomotion allowing humans and other animals to move
rapidly on foot
Jumping or leaping is a form of locomotion or movement in which an organism or non-living
(e.g., robotic) mechanical system propels itself through the air along a ballistic trajectory.
Galloping - is a forward slide movement: front foot steps forward with a little spring followed by the
transfer of body weight to the back foot
Skipping- Skipping is a combination of a step and a hop on the same foot followed

NON- LOCOMOTOR
SWING- A pendular motion of the body part that can move forward and backward or side by side.
TWIST- A partial rotation of the body part around an axis.
TURN- A full rotation of the body around vertical or horizontal axis, Full half or quarter turns.
SHAKE- A short quick vibrating movement in the body part or whole body.
BEND- A flex of a body part at a join.
STRECH- Extending of a body part of a whole body.
WIGGLES- A small or big, fast or slow curly movements of a body part of a whole body.
ROCK OR SWAY- Shift of the body weight forward, backward, side to side or in a circular pathway.

3.4 BASIC POSITION

A. HAND POSITION

1. Hands on Waist- Place hands on waist. Fingers pointing front thumbs

pointing backward.
2. Hands on Chest- Palms facing down, thumbs touching the chest, elbows in
line with the shoulders.

3. Hands on Shoulders- Bends arms from the elbow, finger tips touching the
shoulders, elbow in line with the shoulders, rib cage lifted .

4. Hands on Neck - Bend arms from the elbows, place hands behind the neck,
finger tips meeting each other, elbows in line with the shoulders.

5. Hands on Hips - Place hands on hips, thumbs pointing back and fingers
pointing front.

B. ARMS POSITION

1. Arms Forward - Raise arms forward with palms facing each other. Hands in
line with the shoulders, elbows slightly extended.

2. Arms Sideward - Raise arms sideward, palms facing down, finger tips in line
with the shoulder.

3. Arms Upward - Raise arms upward, palms facing each other, elbows touching
the ears, the whole arm in line with the body .

C. STANDING POSITION

1. Feet together or feet parallel - The feet are about one each inch apart, toes pointing forward. Arms at the
sides.

2. Stride Position- The feet are apart about 12 inches wide . The stride may be made wider than 12 inches, the
weight of the body is on boot feet and the trunks is at the center arms at sides.

3. Lunge Position- Bend one knee, the other leg staraight, Weight on both feet, ahnds on hips.

4. Half-Knee Bend- Feet together, bend knees to aboout 45 degree angle: feet flat on floor body erect: hands
on hips.

5. Full Knees Bend or squat position- The knees are fully bent, sit on the heels of the feet. The weight of
the body is on the balls of the feet.

D. KNEELING POSITION

1. Vertical kneel- where both the thighs and upper body are vertical – also
known as "standing on one's knees"
2. Sitting kneel- where the thighs are near horizontal and the buttocks sit back
on the heels with the upper body typically vertical – for example as in Seiza and

E. SITTING POSITION

Sitting requires the buttocks resting on a more or less horizontal structure, such as a chair or the
ground. Special ways of sitting are with the legs horizontal, and in an inclined seat. While on a chair
the shins are usually vertical, on the ground the shins may be crossed in the lotus position or be
placed horizontally under the thigh in a seiza.
F. LYING POSITION
When in lying position, the body may assume a great variety of shapes and positions. The following
are the basic recognized positions.
1.Supine position: lying on the back with the face up.

2.Prone position: lying on the chest with the face down ("lying down" or "going prone").

Lying on either side, with the body straight or bent/curled forward or backward.

3.Fetal position: is lying or sitting curled, with limbs close to the torso and the head close to the
knees.

G. ARMS SUPPORT POSITION

1. Supine or Back Arm Support- From a long lying position, lift the body with
straight arms support. Body, legs and toes well extended and one straight line.
2. Prone or Front Arm Support- From a front lying position. Lift the body to
front arms support, body, legs and toes well extended and one straight line.
3. The body - is supported with the right or left arm, the body is well
extended

H. FOUR- BASED POSITION

A. Dog Stand Position From a kneeling position, place the hands on the floor,
elbows straight, toes pointed, the knees and hands are the base of support.

B. Bridge Stand Position From a hook sitting lift the trunk; legs and arms in
right angle with the trunk.

C. HANDS POSITION
1. Hands on Waist - Place hands on waist. Fingers pointing front thumbs pointing
backward. 2. Hands on Chest- Palms facing down, thumbs touching the chest,

3. Hands on Shoulders- Bends arms from the elbow, finger tips touching the

4. Hands on Neck- Bend arms from the elbows, place hands behind the neck,
finger tips meeting each other, elbows in line with the shoulders.

5. Hands on Hips- Place hands on hips, thumbs pointing back and fingers
pointing front.

D. Arm Position

1. Arms Forward- Raise arms forward with palms facing each other. Hands in
line with the shoulders, elbows slightly extended.

2. Arms Sideward- Raise arms sideward, palms facing down, finger tips in line
with the shoulder.

3. Arms Upward- Raise arms upward, palms facing each other, elbows touching
