• Types of Movements

  
• Flexion Movement

  
• Extension Movement

  
• • ABDUCTION - MOVEMENT OF LIMBS AWAY FROM THE BODY/MIDLINE​
  • ADDUCTION - MOVEMENT OF LIMBS TOWARDS THE BODY/MIDLINE   ​

  
• • INTERNAL ROTATION – ROTATION OF LIMBS INWARDS TO THE MIDLINE (MEDIALLY)​
  • EXTERNAL ROTATION – ROTATION OF LIMBS OUTWARDS AWAY FROM THE MIDLINE (LATERALLY)​

  
• Rotation of the Forearm

  
• Plantar Flexion: Pushing or Pointing the toes and the ball of the foot down toward the ground (i.e., standing on "tip toes")

  Dorsiflexion: Standing on the heel of the foot, with the toes pointing up towards the sky.

  
• Inversion: Moving the foot to turn the solve inwards (medially)

  Eversion: Moving the foot to turn the sole outwards (laterally)

  
• Moving a body Part

  
• Protaction: Moving a body part forwards (anteriorly)
