2. Movement Terms
Flexion: Decreasing the angle of a joint in the sagittal plane. The two bones that meet at a joint get closer together.
Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Hip, Knee, Trunk

3. Movement Terms Cont.
Extension: Increasing the angle of a joint in the sagittal plane.
Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Hip, Knee, Trunk

4. Movement Terms Cont.
Hyper-Extension- Increasing the angle of a joint in the sagittal plane past the mid-line
Back/Trunk, Shoulder, Hip, Wrist (Why not elbow and knee?)

5. Flexion / Extension / Hyperextension

6. Movement Terms Cont
Abduction: Movement of an extremity away from the midline of the body in the frontal/coronal plane.
Shoulder, Hips

7. Movement Terms Cont.
Adduction- Moving an extremity closer to the midline of the body in the frontal plane
Shoulder, Hips

8. Movement Terms Cont.
Pronation and Supination- Rotational movements in the forearm and ankle. Movement is considered to be in the transverse plane.
Forearm-Anatomical Pos.=Supinated.Palm facing back is Pronated.
Ankle- Pronated-sole of foot opens laterally

9. Movement Terms Cont. Protraction-Anterior movement of a part
Retraction-Posterior movement of a part
Sagittal plane

10. Movement Terms Cont. Elevation-Raising a body part
Depression-Lowering a body part
Frontal plane

11. Movement Terms Cont.
Rotation-Turning of a body part on a single axis. (Internal or External) Neck, shoulder, hip
Transverse Plane

12. Movement Terms Cont.
Circumduction- Tri-planer movement at the hip and shoulder.

13. Movement Terms Cont.
Lateral Flexion- Side bending to the left and right. In the frontal plane.

14. Ankle Movements
Plantar Flexion-ankle movement pointing toes down in the sagittal plane
Dorsiflexion- ankle movement pointing toes up in the sagittal plane.

15. Ankle Movements Cont.
Inversion- Ankle movement with the sole of the foot turning inward in the frontal plane
Eversion- Ankle movement with the sole of the foot turning outward in the frontal plane.

16. Wrist and Hand Movements
Radial Deviation –Lateral movement of the wrist toward the radius in the frontal plane
Ulnar Deviation-Medial movement of the wrist toward the ulna in the frontal plane
Opposition- Movement of the thumb across the palm of the hand.
Finger Ad and Abduction
