MOVEMENT AT JOINTS There is a broad range of motion that occurs at joints. These motions should be referenced with the body in anatomical position. Flexion of al joint is a decrease in the joint angle from the body in anatomic position. When the elbow is bent the forearm is flexed. Most flexion takes place in a forward direction. The exception to this is the leg where flexion of the leg results in the bending of the knee. Extension of the joint is when the joint is returned to anatomic position. Hyperextension is a condition a. £ where the joint is extended beyond anatomic position. Looking up at the ceiling is byperextension of the head. Abduction occurs when the extremities or head are moved in the coronal plane, laterally from the body. Adduction is the return of the limbs to the body. Rotation is the movement of part of the body in a circular pattern. Lateral rotation is the movement of the body in a lateral direction and medial rotation is in the opposite direction.
