Anatomical Position:

the erect position of the body with the face directed forward, the arms at the side, and the palms of the hands facing forward, used as a reference in describing the relation of body parts to one another

Flexion:

the action of the condition of being bent, especially the bending of a limb or joint; movement in an anterior direction in the upper extremities and posterior direction in the lower extremities.

Extension:

a movement that increases the angle between two body parts

Abduction:

moves the limb laterally away from the midline of the body

Adduction:

brings the limb toward the body or across the midline

front side or in front of

Posterior:

back side or in the back of

External rotation:

turning the anterior surface outward.

Internal rotation:

turning the anterior surface inward

Proximal:

nearer to the center and/or trunk of the body; or nearer to the point of attachment to the body (root of the limb)

Distal:

further from the root of the limb or the center of the body.

Circumduction:

combination of flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction

Hyperextension:

excessive movement or positioning in the direction of an extension

Rotation:

twisting movement produced by the summation of small rotational movements, taking place in the transverse plane around the longitudinal axis

Elevation:

the upward movement of the scapula and shoulder; lifting the shoulder blades up towards the ear

Depression:

downward movement of the scapula and shoulder; lowering the shoulderblades towards the waist

Downward Rotation:

consists of movement of the scapula as the arms are lowered, and the superior border of the scapula moves away from the midline (spine.)

Superior:

above/towards the head

Inferior:

below/towards the feet

Plantar-flexion:

lifting the heel of the foot from the ground; pointing the toes downward

Dorsiflexion:

lifting the front of the foot, so that the top of the foot moves toward the anterior leg

Sagittal plane

vertical plane dividing the body into right and left portions

Median/midsagittal plane

vertical plane dividing the body into equal right and left portions; called also median plane

Coronal/frontal plane

vertical plane dividing the body into front and back portions

Transverse plane

horizontal plane dividing the body into upper and lower portions

Supine

lying on the back of the body with the face upward

Prone

lying on the front of the body with the face downward

Lateral

to the side of, or away from the midline of the body.

Medial

Lateral Flexion

Pronation

rotation of the forearm and hands so that the palm faces downwards or backwards

Supination

rotation of the forearm and hands so that the palm faces upwards or forwards

Control

regulation of the execution of a given action

Efficiency

ability to perform with less energy or effort.

Flow

Balance

state of bodily equilibrium satisfying proportion of parts

Breath
