Directional Terms continued Internal (central) –Toward or in interior Ipsilateral –On same side of body External (peripheral) –Toward or on exterior Contralateral –On opposite side of body

Basic Joint Actions Flexion –Making a decrease in angle Extension –Making an increase in angle

Basic Joint Actions Abduction (ABD) –Moving away from midline of the body –To “take away” Adduction (ADD) –Moving towards the midline of body –To “add” ShoulderHip Finger

Basic Joint Actions Supination –Rotating hand/forearm laterally –“hold the soup” Pronation –Rotating hand/forearm medially –“pour the soup”

Basic Joint Actions Plantarflexion –Point toes/foot downward –“stand on tip toes” Dorsiflexion –Point toes/foot upward –“foot off the gas pedal”

Basic Joint Actions Inversion –Movement of sole of foot inward Eversion –Movement of sole of foot outward

Basic Joint Actions Medial (Internal) Rotation –Anterior surface moves toward midline Lateral (External) Rotation –Anterior surface moves away from midline

Basic Joint Actions Protraction –Moving forward on plane parallel to ground –“punch” Retraction –Moving backward on plane parallel to ground –“start lawn mower”

Basic Joint Actions Upward Rotation –Inferior angle Downward Rotation Elevation –To move upwards Depression –To move downwards

Basic Joint Actions Radial Deviation (ABD) –Move wrist outwards or away from midline of body –Deviate towards radius Ulnar Deviation (ADD) –Move wrist inwards or towards the midline of body –Deviate towards ulna Radius Ulna

Basic Joint Actions Circumduction –Latin meaning “around” –Combination of flexion/extension and abduction/adduction
