| is movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis, turning away from the midline. | Lateral rotation |
| to extend so that the angle between bones of a joint is greater than normal | hyperextension |
| a bending movement around a joint in a limb (as the knee or elbow) that decreases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint | flexion |
| an unbending or straightening movement around a joint in a limb (as the knee or elbow) that increases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint | extension |
| to draw (as a limb) toward or past the median axis of the body; also: to bring together | adduction |
| movement in which an extremity describes a 360 degree circle. | circumduction |

| the action of turning the sole of the foot inward, towards the opposite foot | inversion |
| medial rotation of the forearm, with the palm in a downward (Prone) position so the radius lies diagonally across the ulna | pronation |
| the movement of turning the sole of the foot outward, away from the midline | eversion |
| Reaching out or pushing with you arm and hands | protraction |
| The location of the thumb opposite to the fingers so that the hand can grasp objects | opposition |
