Bending movement reducing the angle at a joint
Flexion
reverse of flextion, movement which increases angle between bones
extension

reverse of supination - radius crosses over the ulna and palm faces backwards or downwards
pronation
lifting foot at the ankle
dorsiflexion
pushing the foot downwards
plantar flexion
sole of the foot is tuned medially
inversion
sole of the foot is turned laterally
eversion
movement of a bonee, forwards and backwards in the same horizontal plane
protraction and retraction
