• inversion

• eversion

Multiple Choice

What movement is occurring here?

• Eversion
• Flexion
• Dorsiflexion
• Plantarflexion

Multiple Choice

Identify the joint action being performed.

• Inversion
• Eversion
• Plantarflexion
• Dorsiflexion

Multiple Choice

Identify the joint action being performed.

• Inversion
• Eversion
• Plantarflexion
• Dorsiflexion

Multiple Choice

Identify the joint action being performed.

• Extension
• Flexion
• Abduction
• Adduction

Multiple Choice

Identify the joint action being performed.

• Extension
• Flexion
• Abduction
• Adduction

Multiple Choice

Identify the joint action being performed.

• Circumduction
• Lateral Rotation
• Medial Rotation
• Eversion

Explanation Slide...

if the angle of the joint is neutral (at rest) and the movement bring the limb toward away from the body midline, then it is a abduction/adduction movement

Multiple Choice

What is movement A?

• Adduction

• Abduction

• Extension

• flexion

Multiple Choice

What is this movement ?

• adduction

• rotation

• extension

• circumduction

• supination

Explanation Slide...

Flexion is decreasing the angle of a specific joint. Extension is bringing the angle of the joint to the resting position. Some joints allow for hyperextension where the joint can go beyond the angle of "rest". The hip and should allows this. The elbow does not.
