Straightening parts so that the angle between increases extention
movement at the ankle that brings foot closer to shin Dorsiflexion
Movement at the ankle that brings foot farther from the shin plantar flexion
Extention of the part at the joint beyond the anatomical position Hyperextention
Moving away from mid line of the body Abduction
Moving towards mid line of body Adduction
Moving around an axis Rotation
Moving a part so the end so that the end follows a circular path Circumduction
