A
Front and Back
23
Q
Superior
A
Towards Head
24
Q
Inferior
A
Towards Feet
25
Cranial
Towards the head
26
Caudal
Towards the Tail
27
Medial
Towards midline
28
Lateral
Further from the midline
29
Proximal
Closer to the point of attachment
30
Distal
Further from the point of attachment
31
Dorsal
Backside of the Body
32
Ventral
Front of the Body
33
Hyperflexion
Bending a body part further than anatomical position
34
Flexion
Decreasing the angle of two body parts at a joint (Sagittal)
35
Extension
Increasing the angle of two body parts a a joint (sagittal)
36
Abduction
Away from the body (Coronal)
37
Adduction
Towards the body (Coronal)
38
Rotation
Toward midline or away (Medial/lateral) (Internal/external)
39
Circumduction
(Don't confuse with rotation)
**Think arm circles***
Sometimes you can't rotate or circumduction at a joint
40
Elevation
up
41
Depression
down
42
Plantarflexion
Bottom of the foot “Plant feet”
is shown
43
Dorsiflexion
Top of the foot is shown
44
Eversion
Turning the sole of foot outward
45
Inversion
sole of foot inward
(Rolling foot is “over inversion”)
46
Supination
Lateral rotation of the forearm or feet (Palms out)
47
Pronation
Medial rotation of the forearm or feet
48
Retraction
Moving a body part posteriorly
49
Protraction
Moving a body part anteriorly
