16
Q

A binding movement that decreases the angle of the joints to bring the articulating bones closing together

17
Q

Opposite of flexion, a straightening movement that increases the angle of the joints to extend the articulating bones

18
Q

Extension beyond 180 degrees. Its a normal movements but it can lead to injury

A

Hyperextension

19
Q

movement of the foot toward the plantar surface

A

Plantar Flexion

20
Q

Movement of the foot towards the shin

21
Q

A movement away from median or midsagittal plane

22
Q

A movements towards the median plane

23
Q

Refers to unique rotation of the forearm the elbow flexed at 90 degree angle

A

Pronation and Supination

24
A rotation of the forearm so that the palm is down
Pronation
25
A rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces up
Supination
26
Turning the foot so that the plantar surfaces faces laterally
Eversion
27
Turning the foot so that the plantar surfaces faces medially
Inversion
28
Turning of a structure around its long axis, as in shaking the head ''no'' Rotation of the arm can be best demonstrated with the elbow flexed
Rotation
29
Occurs at freely movable joints, such as the shoulder. In circumduction, the arm moves so that it traces a cone where the shoulder joints are at the apex of the cone.
Circumduction
30
It is a movement of a structure in a superior direction. Closing the mouth involves in the mandible
Elevation
31
A movements of a inferior direction. Opening the mouth involve depression of the mandible
Depression
32
A movement of a structure to one side, as in moving the mandible from side to side
Excursion
33
Thumb and little finger movement, occurs when the tips of the thumb and little finger are brought toward each other across the palm of the hand
Opposition
34
Returning the digits to the anatomical position
Reposition
