| | Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In human anatomy, the body and its parts are always described using the assumption that the body is in anatomical position (main article), i.e. | | | In human and zoological anatomy (sometimes called zootomy), several terms are used to describe the location of organs and other structures in the body of bilateral animals. | | | The anatomical position holds more relevant information on relations and terms of location for human anatomy. |

| | All descriptions in human anatomy are expressed in relation to the anatomical position, a convention whereby the body is erect, with the head, eyes, and toes directed forward and the upper limbs by the side and held so that the palms of the hands face forward. | | | Anatomy, wrote Vesalius in the preface to his De Fabrica (1543), "should rightly be regarded as the firm foundation of the whole art of medicine and its essential preliminary." Moreover, the study of anatomy introduces the student to the greater part of medical terminology. | | | It should be noted that, in the absence of fractures and dislocations, the position of the foot should indicate whether the extended limb is rotated (laterally or medially) at the hip. |

| | Further, no study was found that examined the effect of anatomical positions upon grip strength within a British setting. | | | Further analysis to determine where these variations lay showed that a significantly higher grip strength occurred when the shoulder was in 180° and the elbow fully extended compared with the shoulder in 0° and the elbow in 90° flexion in both the sitting and standing postures (P=0.014 and p=0.000). | | | The study supports the recommendations by the American Society of Hand Therapists for the need for a standardised, consistent testing position when measuring grip strength in the clinical setting, to ensure a meaningful indicator of grip strength is measured. |
