BONE JOINT MOVEMENT
internal rotation toward body
Medial rotation
Increase angle between articulating bones
Extension
Movement toward longitudinal axis
Adduction
Decrease angle between articulating bones
Flexion
Palm posterior (rotate forearm)
Pronation
Extends past anatomical position
Hyperextension
twist sole medially
Inversion
external rotation away body
Lateral rotation
moving superior
Elevation
Movement away longitudinal axis
Abduction
Complete circular motion without rotation
Circumduction
lifting toes (flex ankle)
Dorsiflexion
pointing toes (extend ankle)
Plantar flexion
twist sole laterally
Eversion
opposite of opposition
Reposition
palm anterior
Supination
anterior movement in horizontal plane
