2 Types of range of motions
* Active Range of Motions * Passive Range of Motions
24
Type of range of movements where the **limb is actively moved, with muscle contraction.**
Active range of motions
25
Type of range of movements where the **limb is passively moved, no muscle contraction.**
Passive Range of motion
26
**Decrease in the angle** between circulating bones.
Flexion
27
Straightening a joint. There is **increase in angle** between circulating bones often to restore a part of the body to the anatomical position been flexed.
Extension
28
Moving a joint part normal, **extension or continuation** of extension beyond the anatomical position.
Hyperextension
29
Moving a joint away from the midline. Example: Raising the arm to the side
Abduction
30
Moving a joint toward the midline. Example: Lowering the arm to the side
Adduction
31
Moving a body part around its axis. Example: Turning the head side to side
Rotation
32
Circular movement of a body part. Example: Moving the arm in a circle.
Circumduction
33
Rotating the forearm so the palm faces upward.
Supination
34
Rotating the forearm so the palm faces downward.
Pronation
35
Bending of the foot at the ankle in the direction of dorsum. Example: When you lift your toes off the ground while keeping your heel on the floor.
Dorsi flexion
36
Bending of the foot at the ankle joint in the direction of the planter. Example: Pressing on a gas pedal.
Plantar flexion or palmer flexion
37
Turning the sole of the foot inward.
Inversion
38
Turning the sole of the foot outward.
Eversion
39
