Flexion: the act of bending a joint
MOTIONS: Flexion: the act of bending a joint Extension: the act of extending, stretching out, straightening against resistance Abduction: the movement that separates a limb or other part from the axis or middle line of the body Adduction: the action by which the parts of the body are drawn towards its axis Rotation X2: Internal Rotation: of the shoulder or hip would point the toes or the flexed forearm inwards (towards the midline) External Rotation: it would turn the toes or the flexed forearm outwards (away from midline) Lateral Flexion: two ball and socket joints (shoulder/hip)

7. Plantarflexion: flexion of the entire foot inferiorly, as if pressing a gas pedal
8. Dorsiflexion: flexion of the entire foot superiorly, as if taking your foot off a gas pedal 9. Circumduction: the circular movement of a body part, such as ball and socket joints. It consists of a combo of flexion, extension, adduction and abduction 10. Pronation: a rotation of the forearm that moves the palm from an anterior facing position to a posterior facing position, or palm facing down 11.
