Predefined Locations

Warning

At the moment, this is a very rough list with the full set of information available in the Location/orientation spreadsheet, but none of it is explained or cleaned up to be understood by someone outside the team. It needs a lot of text descriptions filled in to make sense, and the intention is that every listed area will eventually have a matching image to show what it would look like as the selected area in the (zoomed-in) image view of the Location/Hand Part module.

(Introduction: Give a quick overview of our predefined locations, link to sources we used in consideration while building this list, mention the specificity available from the suboptions. Especially comment on how the highlighted areas in each image are meant to be used as a reference, not a strict definition. The text labels are the only recorded information in each module, so they can be defined in a different way internally if the user wishes.)

(Will we still have a mechanism to add more user-defined locations? What might this look like?)

1. Body locations

(Add description: as applicable to Location module for two location types)

Neck

surfaces: anterior, posterior, maybe ipsi & contra?

sub-areas: all

Torso

(assume surfaces are not allowed for torso locations unless otherwise indicated. assume all sub-areas are allowed.)

surfaces: anterior, posterior, lateral

Torso>Shoulder

surfaces: anterior, posterior, lateral

→ ipsi/contra discontiguous sublocations

surfaces: anterior, posterior, lateral

Torso>Armpit

(no sub-areas allowed)

→ ipsi/contra discontiguous sublocations

(no sub-areas allowed)

Torso>Sternum/clavicle area

Torso>Chest/breast area

Torso>Abdominal/waist area

Torso>Pelvis area

Torso>Hip

surfaces: anterior, posterior, lateral

→ ipsi/contra discontiguous sublocations

surfaces: anterior, posterior, lateral

Torso>Groin

(unsure whether sub-areas will be allowed)

Torso>Buttocks

→ ipsi/contra discontiguous sublocations

Contralateral arm

(assume all sub-areas are allowed for contra arm locations, and assume the allowable surfaces are Anterior, Posterior, Lateral, and Medial unless otherwise indicated.)

(no sub-areas are allowed for this location)

Arm (contralateral)>Upper arm

Arm (contralateral)>Upper arm>Upper arm above bicep

Arm (contralateral)>Upper arm>Bicep

Arm (contralateral)>Elbow

Arm (contralateral)>Forearm

Arm (contralateral)>Wrist

Legs and feet

(assume all sub-areas are allowed for legs and feet locations, and assume the allowable surfaces are Anterior, Posterior, Lateral, and Medial unless otherwise indicated.)

surfaces: Anterior, Posterior, Lateral, Medial, Top, and Bottom

Legs and feet>Upper leg

→ ipsi/contra discontiguous sublocations

Legs and feet>Knee

→ ipsi/contra discontiguous sublocations

Legs and feet>Lower leg

→ ipsi/contra discontiguous sublocations

Legs and feet>Ankle

→ ipsi/contra discontiguous sublocations

Legs and feet>Foot

surfaces: Anterior, Posterior, Lateral, Medial, Top, and Bottom

→ ipsi/contra discontiguous sublocations

surfaces: Anterior, Posterior, Lateral, Medial, Top, and Bottom

2. Hand locations

(Add description: as applicable to the same two location types in Location and also in the Hand Part module. I think Hand Configuration is handled separately, but I’m not sure.)

Note

Joints and surfaces

Allow surface specification (default set if yes = back, friction, radial, ulnar)

  • new sub-area menu for ‘whole hand’ and ‘hand minus fingers’ in addition to the surfaces

    • sub-areas: finger side, wrist side, radial side, ulnar side, centre

    • none of the bone / joint options are available for these two locations

Allow bone / joint specification (default set if yes = metacarpophalangeal joint, proximal bone, proximal interphalangeal joint, medial bone, distal interphalangeal joint, distal bone, tip)

  • options other than the two mentioned above use some subset of the bone/joint and hand surfaces list

    • these do not use the sub-areas list from above

    • include both the shortened and full versions of joint names

      • mcp = metacarpophalangeal joint

      • pip = proximal interphalangeal joint

      • dip = distal interphalangeal joint

  • Whole hand

    • all surfaces, all sub-areas

  • Hand minus fingers

    • all surfaces, all sub-areas

(The following areas use a subset of the bone / joint list, and none of the sub-area list. Assume all surfaces and bone/joints are allowed unless mentioned otherwise.)

  • Heel of hand

    • (bone/joints: none allowed for this location)

  • Thumb

    • bone/joints: metacarpophalangeal joint, proximal bone, distal interphalangeal joint, distal bone, tip

  • Fingers

  • Selected fingers

  • Selected fingers and thumb

    • bone/joints: metacarpophalangeal joint, proximal bone, distal interphalangeal joint, distal bone, tip

  • Finger 1

  • Finger 2

  • Finger 3

  • Finger 4

  • Between thumb and finger 1

    • surfaces: back and friction only

  • Between finger 1 and 2

    • surfaces: back and friction only

  • Between finger 2 and 3

    • surfaces: back and friction only

  • Between finger 3 and 4

    • surfaces: back and friction only
