What is the definition of rotation in terms of body movement?

• A motion that occurs when a part turns on its axis.

• A motion that occurs when a part moves away from the body.

• A motion that occurs when a part bends at a joint.

• A motion that occurs when a part shortens in length.

If a person turns their head from side to side, which type of movement are they performing?

• Rotation

• Flexion

• Extension

• Abduction

Which of the following best describes abduction in terms of body movement?

• Movement away from the midline of the body (arms and legs)

• Movement towards the midline of the body (arms and legs)

• Bending a joint

• Rotating a limb

What type of movement is shown in the image?

• Abduction

• Extension

• Flexion

What is the result of flexion at a joint?

• The joint angle increases

• The joint angle decreases

• The joint remains stationary

• The joint rotates

What does the diagram illustrate about joint movement?
