Week 6


Ginglymus Hinge Joint - monoaxial joints -- flexion and extension -- ex/ elbow
Trochoid Pivot joint - monoaxial along the longtitudinal axis -- supination and pronation -- ex radius and ulna
Condyloid Ellipsoid - biaxial -- Flexion extension abduction adduction -- ex wrist 
Solaris Saddle - biaxial -- Flexion extension abduction adduction circumduction -- thumb only
Spheroid Ball & Socket - triaxial -- Flexion extension abduction adduction Circumduction -- ex shoulder or hip
Flexion Decreases the angle between bones -- ex bending at the knee
dorsalflexion flexion of the foot
Extension Increases the angle between the bones -- ex straightening you leg
Hyperextension Extension beyond normal flexion -- unhealthy
plantarflexion extension of the foot
ABduction movement away from the central axis of movement
ADduction movement toward to central axis
Rotation movement around an axis -- medial = toward midline -- lateral = away from midline
Supination forearm movement that places the forearm in anatomical position
Pronation forearm movement that puts forearm in the more common position -- aka typing position
Eversion FOOT ONLY -- movement of sole of foot outward
Inversion FOOT ONLY -- movement of sole of foot inward or medial
Protraction forward movement
Retraction backward movement
Elevation Upward movement
Depression Downward movement
Circumduction movement that includes flexion + Extension + ADduction + ABduction + Rotation
