anatomical position?
Mountain pose with palms forward
Axial
head, neck, and trunk
Appendicular
limbs/extremities

Superficial
Towards the skin or outside
Deep
towards the inside or away from the skin
superior
up, Towards the top of the head
inferior
down or below, towards the feet
medial
towards the midline
lateral
away from the midline
flexion
A movement in a sagittal plane which takes a part of
the body forward from anatomical position.
Exceptions: knee flexion, dorsiflexion\
Extension
A movement in the sagittal plane which takes a part of
the body backward from anatomical position. Except:
knee extension and plantar flexion
abduction
A movement in a frontal plane which takes a
part of the body away from the median plane.
Adduction
A movement in a frontal plane which takes a
part of the body toward the median plane.

same as anatomical position.
Dorsiflexion
“flexing” the foot
Plantar Flexion
pointing the toes
Lateral Flexion or Side Bending

from anatomical position.
