Extension
towards anatomical position; Sagittal MDA
Hyperextension

Plantar Flexion
foot down/pointing; Sagittal MDA
Dorsiflexion
foot up; sagittal MDA
Abduction

Ulnar deviation
mvmt of the wrist toward the ulnar (pinky) side of the forearm; frontal APA
radial deviation
mvmt of the wrist toward the radial side of the forearm (thumb side) (thats rad); frontal APA
