A

Uniaxial
Biaxial
Multiaxial

35
Q

Describe uniaxial

A

Joint moves in one plane or axis

36
Q

Describe biaxial

A

Joint moves in two planes or axes

37

• Hyperextension
• Lateral flexion
• Abduction
• Adduction
• Circumduction (combination of flexion, extension, abduction AND
adduction)

44
Q

Describe flexion

A

the angle between articulating bones decreases

45
Q

Describe extension

A

the angle between articulating bones increases

46
Q

Describe hypertension

A

Extension movement continues past the anatomic position

47
Q

Describe lateral flexion

A

the vertebral column moves in a lateral direction along a coronal plane

48
Q

Describe abduction

A

movement of a bone away from the midline

49
Q

Describe adduction

A

movement of a bone toward the midline

50
Q

Describe circumduction

A

a continuous movement that combines flexion, abduction, extension and adduction in a circular motion

51
Q

Describe rotational motion

A

A bone turns on its longitudinal axis

52
Q

A

liming turning to and from medial plane

53
Q

What are the movements of rotational motion

A

Lateral rotation
Medial rotation
