Summary of Movement Descriptions Upper Limb Scapula Elevation of the scapula Depression of the scapula Protraction of the scapula Retraction of the scapula Upward rotation of the scapula Downward rotation of the scapula Shoulder Flexion of the shoulder Extension of the shoulder Abduction of the shoulder Adduction of the shoulder Medial rotation of the shoulder Lateral rotation of the shoulder Elbow Flexion of the elbow Extension of the elbow Forearm Pronation of the forearm Supination of the forearm Wrist Flexion of the wrist Extension of the wrist Abduction of the wrist Adduction of the wrist Fingers Flexion of the fingers Extension of the fingers Note: For the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, either the joint or segment being moved can be used. e.g., flexion of the shoulder = flexion of the arm e.g., extension of the elbow = extension of the forearm e.g., flexion of the wrist = flexion of the hand Note: For medial and lateral rotation of the shoulder, internal and external can be used. e.g., medial rotation of the shoulder = internal rotation of the shoulder e.g., lateral rotation of the arm = external rotation of the arm Lower Limb Hip Flexion of the hip Extension of the hip Abduction of the hip Adduction of the hip Medial rotation of the hip Lateral rotation of the hip Knee Flexion of the knee Extension of the knee Ankle/Foot Dorsiflexion of the ankle Plantarflexion of the ankle Inversion of the foot Eversion of the foot Toes Flexion of the toes Extension of the toes Note: For the hip, knee, and ankle, either the joint or segment being moved can be used. e.g., flexion of the hip = flexion of the thigh e.g., extension of the knee = extension of the leg e.g., dorsiflexion of the ankle = dorsiflexion of the foot Note: For medial and lateral rotation of the hip, internal and external can be used. e.g., medial rotation of the hip = internal rotation of the hip e.g., lateral rotation of the thigh = external rotation of the lateral Head/Neck/Trunk Flexion of the head Extension of the head Flexion of the neck Extension of the neck Flexion of the trunk Extension of the trunk Lateral flexion of the head Lateral flexion of the neck Lateral flexion of the trunk Left rotation of the head Right rotation of the head Left rotation of the neck Right rotation of the neck Left rotation of the trunk Right rotation of the trunk
