Define what is meant by abduction.
Movement of a body part away from the body
Define what is meant by adduction.
Movement of a body part towards the body
Define what is meant by flexion.
Decrease in the angle at a joint
Define what is meant by extension.
Increase in the angle at a joint
Define what is meant by rotation.
Turning a limb along its long axis
Define what is meant by circumduction.
This is where the limb moves in a circle
rotation + another joint action
