Flexion: A bending movement that generally decreases the angle between two body parts.

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:33:00 UTC

Extension: A straightening movement that generally increases the angle between two body parts (the reverse of flexion).

Pronation: Rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces posteriorly (or downward if the elbow is flexed).

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:33:53 UTC

Supination: Rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces anteriorly (or upward if the elbow is flexed), returning to the anatomical position.

Elevation: Movement of a body part in a superior (upward) direction (e.g., shrugging the shoulders).

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:34:35 UTC

Depression: Movement of a body part in an inferior (downward) direction (the reverse of elevation).

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:35:05 UTC

Internal rotation (or Medial rotation): Rotation of a limb toward the midline of the body.

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:35:43 UTC

External rotation (or Lateral rotation): Rotation of a limb away from the midline of the body.

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:36:11 UTC

Circumduction: A movement in which a limb describes a cone shape, combining flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction (e.g., drawing a circle with the arm).

Plantar flexion: Movement at the ankle that points the toes and foot downward (as if standing on your toes).

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:36:46 UTC

Dorsiflexion: Movement at the ankle that bends the foot so that the toes point upward (toward the shin).

Transverse plane (or Horizontal or Axial plane): Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:39:38 UTC

Midsagittal plane (or Median plane): A vertical plane that runs directly down the midline of the body, dividing it into equal right and left halves.

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:39:54 UTC

Frontal plane (or Coronal plane): Divides the body into anterior (front/ventral) and posterior (back/dorsal) portions.

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:40:29 UTC

Anatomical Position: The standard reference position for the human body: standing erect, feet slightly apart, arms hanging at the sides, and palms facing forward

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:41:11 UTC

Supine: A body position where the individual is lying face up (on the back).

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:41:43 UTC

Prone: A body position where the individual is lying face down (on the belly).

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:42:16 UTC

dagoulet — 2025-09-29 16:42:58 UTC
