internal rotation of the glenohumeral joint (shoulder)
rotates the humerus inwardly
external rotation of the shoulder joint
rotates the humerus outwardly
extension of the shoulder
moves the humerus posteriorly
flexion of the shoulder
moves the humerus anteriorly
adduction of the shoulder
moves the humerus toward the body
external rotation of the head of the radius against the capitulum
produces supination (result is an anterior facing palm)
protraction of scapula
scapula slides laterally and somewhat anteriorly (reaching for something out of reach)
retraction of scapula
pull scapulae towards the back center and scapula moves easily
elevation of scapula
shrugging of shoulders and scapula moves superiorly
depression of scapula
inferior movement of scapula

(shoulder) joint rotates the femur inwardly
external rotation of hip joint
rotates the femur outwardly
extension of hip
moves the femur posteriorly
flexion of hip
moves the femur anteriorly
adduction of the hip
moves the femur toward the body
inversion of the talocrural joint
rotates the foot inwardly
eversion of the talocrural joint
rotates the foot outwardly
adduction of the metatarsophalageal joint
moves the digit towards digit II
abduction of the metatarsophalangeal joint
moves the digit away from digit II
dorsiflexion of talocrural joint
tilts foot upwards
plantarflexion of talocrural joint
tilts foot downward
extension of metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints
straightens or elevates phalanges
