Document Summary
Inversion/eversion: refer to movement in your feet, particularly ankle, eversion moving foot outer, unnatural. Plantar flexion/dorsiflexion: refer to movement in our feet, plantar flexion, referring to upward movement, ex. High heels is an example of plantar flexion. Elevation/depression: depression moving a body part inferior. Protraction/retraction: retraction moving a body part in the posterior position. Opposition: moving the thumb to touch the tip of other fingers. The action of muscle can be inferred by the position of the muscle relate to the joint it crosses. A muscle that crosses on the anterior side of a joint produces flexion. A muscle that crosses on the posterior side of a joint produces extension. A muscle that crosses on the lateral side of a joint produces abduction. A muscle that crosses on the medial side of the joint produces adduction. Bone features joint: place where two bones come in contact. Types of areas on contact: head, facet, condyle.
