25
What is flexion?
Decreasing the angle of bones at a joint (all anterior movements at joints superior to the knee are flexions)
26
What is extension?
Increasing the angle between bones at a joint (all anterior movements inferior to the knee joint are extension)
27
What is abduction?
Movement away from the median plane (abduct you take away)
28
What is adduction?
Movement towards the median plane
29
What is internal/medial rotation?
Anterior surface of a limb rotates towards the median plane
30
What is external/lateral rotation?
Anterior surface of a limb rotates away from the median plane
31
What is circumduction?
Circular motion at a joint
32
What are the specific terms of movement for the foot?
Eversion - sole of foot rotates away from median plane and soles face laterally Inversion - sole of foot rotates towards to median plane and soles face medially
33
What are the specific terms of movement for the forearm?
Pronantion - anterior surface of the forearm rotates so the palm faces posteriorly Supination - forearm rotates from the pronated positioned back into the anatomical one Semiprone - position of forearm/hand midway between prone and supine position
34
What are the specific terms of movement for the hands?
Opposition of digits - touching of 2 fingertips (thumb and one other) Reposition of digits - from opposition back to anatomical position Pronation - anterior surface of the hand rotates so the palm faces posteriorly Supination - hand rotates from the pronated positioned back into the anatomical one Adduction/abduction of digits
35
What are the specific terms of movement for the thumb?
Abduction - thumb moves anteriorly away from the palm Adduction - abduction back to anatomical position Extension - thumb moves laterally away from palm Flexion - thumb moves across palm Opposition/reposition
