Joints – Movements
Circular Movements
2. Pronation and Supination – also classified as “special movement”
- Rotation of the forearm
- Supine – palms face forward in anatomical position - radius + ulna are parallel to
one another
- Pronated – palms face posteriorily
3. Circumduction
- Combination of flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction
- Shoulder joint is point of cone, circular part is where hand is
- Ball and socket joints can do this
- Any other biaxial joint -
Special Movements
- Movements unique to only one or two joints
1. Elevation and Depression (scapula and mandible)
- Elevation – moves a structure superiorly
- Depression – moves it inferiorly
2. Opposition and Reposition
- Opposition – when the thumb and little finger are brought together
- Reposition – when they return to neutral
3. Inversion and Eversion (ankle)
- Inversion – turning the ankle – plantar surface faces medially
- Eversion – turning the ankle – plantar surface faces laterally
- Takes place in tarsal bones – small movements within them allows for this
