- Abduction: Movement away from the midline.
- Adduction: Movement toward the midline.
- Eversion: Movement turning outward.
- Inversion: Movement turning inward.
- Extension: To straighten.
- Flexion: To bend.
- External Rotation: Rotary motion away from the midline.
- Internal Rotation: Rotary motion toward the midline.
Joint Movements

- Supination: Turning the palm upward.
Types of Injuries
- Primary Injury: Results directly from the stress of a sport.
- Secondary Injury: Complications arise from untreated primary injuries or recurring injuries.
Skin and Tissue Injuries
- Epithelial Tissue: Covers internal and external surfaces, primarily for protection and structural support.
- Blister: Result of continuous rubbing, causing fluid collection below the epidermis.
- Abrasion: Scraping that wears away epidermis/dermis, exposing blood capillaries, requiring cleaning to prevent infection.
- Contusion (Bruise): Caused by a blow from an object leading to soft tissue damage, pain, and discoloration.
