Document Summary
Extension: increasing the angle between the bones at the joint: you can have hyperextension depeidng on the joint. Plantar flexion (at the ankle: i. e. , pointing the foot. Dorsiflexion: bringing our toes (lifting our foot at the ankle towards the plane of the top of the foot) Abduction: going away from the midline of the body: brining your arms away from the body. Adduction: bringing toward midline of the body: adduction of the arm of the should (bringing arms towards the side of the body) Circumduction: the distal end of the bone moves in a circle while the proximal end remains more or less stationary. Opposition: movement of the thumb to approach or touch one or more fingertips: i. e, thumb touching ring fingers. Rotation: the bone turning around its own longitudinal axis: os coxa-femur rotation is moving the foot laterally (outside) and medially towards the midline of the body.
