ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Abduction and Adduction Adduction focuses on moving a limb towards the midline of the body (medially). This type of movement can occur with the arm at the shoulder, digits, and thigh at the hip. An example of this movement is when someone is performing jumping jacks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Locomotor and Non-locomotor Movements. Fundamental body movements are basic body movements that involve various body parts. These fundamental movements are foundational building blocks upon which more complicated and intricate physical movements are built.

Detailed explanation-3: -Circumduction. Circumduction is a compound movement that occurs only at ball and socket joints, which can perform multiple movement types. As Figure 23, it is a combination of: Flexion and extension. Abduction and adduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flexion – bending a joint. Extension – straightening a joint. Abduction – movement away from the midline of the body. Adduction – movement towards the midline of the body. Circumduction – this is where the limb moves in a circle. More items
