Types of body movements LUIS DOMINGUEZ P. 5

Types of Body Movements • This image shows the different type of body movements. • Synovial joints are what allow these movements to happen.

Flexion lowers the angle between the bones causing them to contract. Flexion movements are located in the: hinge, condyloid, saddle, and ball-andsocket joints. Generally in the sagittal plane.

Extension rises the angle and flattens the joint causing it to extend. Extension movements are located in the: hinge, condyloid, saddle, and balland-socket joints. Generally in the sagittal plane.

Rotation is a twisting movement. Rotation is a common movement of ball-and-socket joint, like shaking your head “no”. Movement on the longitudinal axis.

Abduction is the action of moving a limb away. This can also be seen in the fanning movement of the fingers and toes. Movement on the median plane.

Adduction The movement of adduction is the opposite of abduction. This meaning it brings the limb in. Movement on the median plane.

Circumduction The action circumduction is a mix of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction. This is commonly seen in the ball-andsocket joint. The shape of the action is cone shaped.
