inversion

A

ankle. occurs when you twist your foot upward and ankle rolls inward

35
Q

Eversion

A

ankle. occurs when ankle rolls outward and tears the deltoid ligaments

36
Q

Dorsiflexion

A

is the backward bending of the ankle or hand. when you draw your tows towards your shins

A

coracoid process to greater tubercle, strengthens the upper part of the capsule.

43
Q

Glenohumeral ligaments

A

thickening of capsule, lesser tubercle and neck, add strength to the anterior part of the capsule

44
Q
