ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -CIRCUMDUCTION: a combination of flexion, abduction, extension and adduction performed one after the other. The proximal end of the limb remains stationary and the distal end moves in a circle. The limb as a whole outlines a cone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Noun. (anatomy) The circular (or, more precisely, conical) movement of a body part, such as a ball-and-socket joint or the eye. It consists of a combination of flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction. Windmilling the arms and rotating the hand from the wrist are examples of circumduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Circumduction is the movement of the limb, hand, or fingers in a circular pattern, using the sequential combination of flexion, adduction, extension, and abduction motions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Circumduction is the orderly combination of shoulder movements so that the hand traces a circle and the arm traces a cone. In order it is produced by shoulder flexion, abduction, extension and abduction (or the reverse).

Detailed explanation-5: -Circumduction. In circumduction, the distal end of the limb moves circularly while the proximal end remains fixed. It includes the combination of adduction, abduction, flexion, and extension on a joint. This movement is possible at the multiaxial ball and socket joints, biaxial condyloid, and saddle joints.
