    Body Movement

    - Alexandria Golden

    Body Movement
    Body movements occur when muscles contract
    across joints. The type of movement depends on
    the mobility of the joint and on where the muscle
    is located in relation to joint.
    Types of
    Body Movement
    Flexion

    Bending forward at
    the hip.
    Extension

    Opposite of the flexion, so it


    is a movement that increases
    the angle or the distance,
    between two bones or parts of
    the body.
    Abduction

    Moving the limb away, the


    terminology also applies to the
    fanning of movement of the
    fingers or toes when they are
    spread apart.
    Adduction

    Opposite of abduction, so it
    is the movement of a limb
    toward the body midline.
    Rotation

    Movement of a bone around


    its longitudinal axis.
    Circumduction

    A combination of flexion,
    extension, abduction, and
    adduction is commonly seen in
    ball and socket joints such as the
    shoulder.
    Pronation

    Moving the palm of the hand


    from an anterior, or upward
    facing, position to a posterior,
    or downward facing position
    Supination
    Moving the palm from a
    posterior position to an anterior
    position, it is the opposite of
    pronation.
    Inversion

    It is the turning of the sole of


    the foot so that it faces medially.
    Eversion

    It is the turning of the sole of


    the foot laterally and is the
    opposite of inversion.
    Dorsiflexion

    Movement at the ankle that


    moves the instep of the foot up
    and dorsally toward the shin.
    Plantar Flexion

    Straightens the ankle joint,


    causing the toes to point
    downward; standing on your
    toes.
