OCTA 206 Exam/ Practicum 1 Flashcards
Movement that opens or straightens a joint (opening hands)
Extension
Movement that bends a joint or brings the bones closer together
Flexion
Swings the limb away from the midline
Lateral Rotation
Joint medially rotates, the limb turns in toward the midline
Medial Rotation
A movement of head and vertebral column along transverse plane (checking to see if a car is behind you)
Rotation
Joint brings a limb medially toward the body’s midline (adding to body)
Adduction
Moves a limb laterally away from the midline (carry away from body)
Abduction
A combination of flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction
Circumduction
Neck or vertebral column bends laterally to the side (lift head off pillow)
Lateral Flexion
Movement bringing the radius and ulna parallel to one another (carrying bowl of soup)
Supination
Movement when the radius crosses over the ulna (prone to spill)
Pronation
Ankle movement letting off gas pedal
Dorsiflexion
Ankle movement stepping on gas pedal
Plantar Flexion
