Movement patterns occurring at synovial joints Movement patterns = terms used to describe the actions taking place at joints

Outline Joints: fixed; slightly moveable; synovial/freely moveable (types, structures, movement at each joint); movement available, eg flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction, pronation, supination, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, hyper-extension, inversion, eversion

Links to assessment P2 describe the different classifications of joints and the range of movement available at each M1 explain the different characteristics of joints and the range of movement available at each D1 compare and contrast the different classifications of joints and the range of movement available at each

After each movement think of 3 sporting examples of your own

Flexion

Extension

Abduction The movement of a body part away from the midline of the body Example if the arms are placed by the side of the body and then raised laterally, abduction has occurred at the shoulder joint

Abduction

Adduction Adduction is movement towards the midline of the body Example lowering the arm to the side of the body

Circumduction Occurs when a circle can be drawn by the body part combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction

Rotation Angular motion about an axis This occurs at the shoulder during the dig forearm pass in volleyball

Pronation A form of rotation occur at the radio ulna joint Pronation occurs where the palm of the hand is moved from facing upwards to downwards

Supination Supination occurs when the palm of the hand is turned to face upwards

Plantar flexion Occur at the ankle joint plantar flexion occurs when you point your toes

Dorsiflexion dorsiflexion occurs when the foot is raised upwards

Hyperextension Hyperextension – movement beyond the normal anatomical position in a direction opposite to flexion

Inversion Inversion – inward rotation of the foot

Eversion Eversion – outward rotation of the foot
