Retraction
Moving a part forward (thrusting the chin forward)
Protraction
Turning the foot so the sole faces medially
Inversion
Turning the foot so the sole faces laterally
Eversion
Turning the hand so the palm is downward or facing posteriorly (in anatomical position)
Pronation
Turning the hand so the palm is upward or facing anteriorly (in anatomical position)
Supination
Moving a part so that its end follows a circular path (moving the finger in a circular motion without moving the hand
Circumduction
Moving a part around an axis (twisting the head from side to side).
Rotation
Moving a part toward the midline (returning the upper limb from the horizontal position to the side of the body)

Moving a part away from the midline (lifting the upper limb horizontally to form a right angle with the side of the body)
Abduction
Bending the foot at the ankle toward the sole (bending the foot downward)
Plantar flexion
Bending the foot at the ankle toward the shin (bending the foot upward)
Dorsiflexion
Excess extension of the parts at a joint, beyond the anatomical position (bending the head back beyond the upright position)
Hyperextension
Straightening parts at a joint so that the angle between them increases and the parts move farther apart (straightening the lower limb at the knee)
Extension
Bending parts at a joint so that the angle between them decreases and the parts come closer together (bending lower limb at the knee)
