Q

whats the opposite of flexion

A

extension

Q

what is abduction

A

movement away from body

whats the opposite of abduction

adduction

internal rotation

rotation medially

external rotation

lateral rotation

circumduction

circular movement at joints

movement specific to foot: eversion

sole rotates away from medial plane

inversion

foot rotates towards median plane

dorsiflexion

upward flexion of foot

plantarflexion

downward movement, pointing toes

specific to forearm: pronation

anterior surface, palm faces posteriorly

supination

up, palm faces back to anterior position

lateral flexion

moving top of body from side to side

elevation, depression

eg moving shoulders up and down

protrusion, retrusion

moving jaw forward and back
