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

2. 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

3. 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

4. After each movement think of 3 sporting examples of your own

5. Flexion

6. Extension

7. 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

8. Abduction

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

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

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

12. 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

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

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

15. Dorsiflexion
dorsiflexion occurs when the foot is raised upwards

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

17. Inversion
Inversion – inward rotation of the foot

18. Eversion
Eversion – outward rotation of the foot
