Prone
Laying down on stomach
Back upward
Supine
Laying on back
Stomach up
Extension
Creates larger angle from reference (trunk/joint)

Flexion
Makes smaller angle between reference point (trunk/joint/bone)

Lateral Bending
Ear to side towards floor

Dorsiflexion
top of foot towards sky

Plantarflexion
Bottom of foot down
