    The document defines and describes various types of body movements including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, rotation, supination, pronation, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, eversion, protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, excursion, lateral excursion, medial excursion, superior rotation, inferior rotation, opposition, and reposition. It also describes the types of joints that allow different movements, such as pivot joints allowing rotation, hinge joints allowing flexion and extension, and ball-and-socket joints allowing multidirectional movement.

    Types of Body Movements

    Synovial joints
    - allow the body a tremendous range of movements.
    ball-and-socket joint
    - gives the greatest range of movement at an individual joint, in other regions of the body,
    several joints may work together to produce a particular movement.
    Flexion and extension
    - are movements that take place within the sagittal plane and involve anterior or posterior
    movements of the body or limbs.
    1. flexion (anterior flexion) - is an anterior (forward) bending of the neck or body.
    2. extension - involves a posterior-directed motion, such as straightening from a flexed
    position or bending backward.
    Lateral flexion
    - is the bending of the neck or body toward the right or left side.
    Hyperextension
    - is the abnormal or excessive extension of a joint beyond its normal range of motion,
    thus resulting in injury.
    hyperflexion
    - is excessive flexion at a joint.
    Abduction and adduction
    - motions occur within the coronal plane and involve medial-lateral motions of the limbs,
    fingers, toes, or thumb.
    1. Abduction - moves the limb laterally away from the midline of the body.
    2. adduction - is the opposing movement that brings the limb toward the body or across
    the midline.
    Circumduction
    - is the movement of a body region in a circular manner, in which one end of the body
    region being moved stays relatively stationary while the other end describes a circle.
    Rotation
    - can occur within the vertebral column, at a pivot joint, or at a ball-and-socket joint.
    1. medial rotation - Movement that brings the anterior surface of the limb toward the
    midline of the body
    2. lateral rotation - rotation of the limb so that the anterior surface moves away from the
    midline.
    Supination and pronation
    - are movements of the forearm. In the anatomical position, the upper limb is held next to
    the body with the palm facing forward.
    1. Pronation - is the motion that moves the forearm from the supinated (anatomical)
    position to the pronated (palm backward) position.
    2. Supination - is the opposite motion, in which rotation of the radius returns the bones to
    their parallel positions and moves the palm to the anterior facing (supinated) position.
    Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion
    - are movements at the ankle joint, which is a hinge joint. Lifting the front of the foot, so
    that the top of the foot moves toward the anterior leg is dorsiflexion, while lifting the heel
    of the foot from the ground or pointing the toes downward is plantar flexion.
    Inversion
    - is the turning of the foot to angle the bottom of the foot toward the midline.
    eversion
    - turns the bottom of the foot away from the midline.
    Protraction
    - is the scapula occurs when the shoulder is moved forward, as when pushing against
    something or throwing a ball.
    Retraction
    - is the opposite motion, with the scapula being pulled posteriorly and medially, toward
    the vertebral column.
    elevation
    - The mandible is the upward movement of the lower jaw used to close the mouth or bite
    on something.
    depression
    - is the downward movement that produces opening of the mouth.
    Excursion
    - is the side to side movement of the mandible.
    Lateral excursion
    - moves the mandible away from the midline, toward either the right or left side.
    Medial excursion
    - returns the mandible to its resting position at the midline.
    superior rotation
    - the glenoid cavity moves upward as the medial end of the scapular spine moves
    downward.
    Inferior rotation
    - occurs during limb adduction and involves the downward motion of the glenoid cavity
    with upward movement of the medial end of the scapular spine.
    Opposition
    - is the thumb movement that brings the tip of the thumb in contact with the tip of a finger.
    Reposition
    - Returning the thumb to its anatomical position next to the index finger.

    TYPE OF JOINT Movement

    Pivot Uniaxial joint; allows rotational movement

    Hinge Uniaxial joint; allows flexion/extension


    movements

    Condyloid Biaxial joint; allows flexion/extension,


    abduction/adduction, and circumduction
    movements
    Plane Multiaxial joint; allows inversion and eversion
    of foot, or flexion, extension, and lateral
    flexion of the vertebral column

    Ball-and-socket Multiaxial joint; allows flexion/extension,


    abduction/adduction, circumduction, and
    medial/lateral rotation movements
