flexion
decrease in relative angle of joint between 2 adjacent segments (bending)
extension
increase in relative angle of joint between 2 adjacent segments
abduction
away from midline
adduction
towards midline
medial/internal rotation
anterior surface move towards midline, posterior surface moves away
lateral/ external rotation
posterior surface moves towards midline, anterior surface moves away
elevation
raising of scapula
depression
lowering of scapula
protraction
scapula move apart
retraction
scapula move towards each other
upward rotation
bottom of scapula move away from trunk, too of scapula move towards trunk
horizontal adduction
combination of flexion and internal rotation of arm or thigh across midline
horizontal abduction
combination of extension and external rotation of arm or thigh away from midline
pronation
palm faces down
