Movements of the Body - rotation

Turning on a single axis

Movements of the Body - External rotation

Rotation of the hip or shoulder away from the midline

Movements of the Body - Internal rotation

Rotation of the hip or shoulder toward the midline

Movements of the Body - Circumduction

Circular motion at the hip or shoulder

Movements the Hand - flexion

Bending a joint or decreasing the angle between two bones

Movements the Hand - Extension

Straightening a joint or increasing the angle between two bones

Movements the Hand - Hyperextension

Excessive extension of the parts at a joint beyond anatomical position

Movements the Hand - Adduction

Moving a body part towards the midline of the body
