| Ability to walk; not confined to bed | Ambulatory |
| To restore patients to their most effective condition | Rehabilitation |
| The application of a physical agent to help the patient's healing process | Therapy |
| Pertaining to such agents as heat, light, water, exercises, sound, and electrical energy | Modality |
| The body in standing position | Erect |
| The body is lying horizontally with the face and trunk down, palms of hands downwards. | Prone |
| The body is lying horizontally on either side | Laterally recumbent |
| A bending motion that decreases the angle between bones, as in bending the fingers to close the hand. | Flexion |
| A straightening motion that increases the angle between bones, as in straightening the fingers to open the hand. | Extension |
| Circular movement of an object/body part on an axis or center | Rotation |
| Movement away from the mid-line of the body, as in moving the arms straight out to the sides. | Abduction |
| Movement toward the mid-line of the body, as in bringing the arms back to their original position. | Adduction |
| The act of turning the palm up/forward | Supination |
| The act of turning the palm down/backward | Pronation |
| The act of turning the sole (bottom of feet) inward, so that it faces the opposite foot. | Inversion |
| Turning the sole (boot of feet) outward, away from the body | Eversion |
| Device used to measure range of motion around a joint in the body | Goniometer |
| The progressive muscle weakness that occurs from not using a certain muscle. | Disuse atrophy |
| Exercise that increases the body's consumption of oxygen | Aerobic Exercise ("Cardio") |
| The use of resistance to increase muscle mass and muscle strength. | Anaerobic Exercise (strength training) |
| Strengthening exercise that decreases the angle of the joint and causes shortening/contraction of the muscle | Concentric Exercise |
| Strengthening exercise the increases the angle of the joint and lengthening/extension of the muscle | Eccentric Exercise |
| Strengthening exercise where there is no shortening of the muscle and no change in joint angle, even though resistance is applied | Isometric Exercise |
| Specialized stretching technique used for joint mobilization to increase elasticity of the joint capsule, reduce pain and increase joint range of motion. | Arthrokinematic Stretching |
| Exercise that involves placing a muscle in a lengthened position until you begin to feel a pulling sensation in the muscle. | Stretching Exercise |
| Movement of a joint through its full potential in all planes. May be passive, active, or resistive movements. | Range of motion (ROM) |
| Exercises designed to increase the strength of the muscles by repetition of maximal contraction against and with resistance | Dynamic Exercise (Progressive Resistive) |
