Flexion - Otherwise known as bending, this is when the angle that is present between articulating bones is decreased such as the angle betweem the humerus and the radius/ulnar bones of the arm/forearm. When there is flexion at the elbow joint, the angle between the humerus and the radius/ulnar bones decreases and results in flexion
Extension - This is the opposite of flexion where the angle of the articulating bones actually increases. For example, if the arm is straightened at the elbow joint, the angle between the articulating bones of the humerus and radius/ulnar is increased.
Abduction - This is when a body part is moved away from the midline of the body such as the movement of the hip that results in the leg being raised up away from the

There are two types of this movement: internal rotation which is when there is rotation towards the body and external rotation which is movement away from the body
Pronation - This occurs at the elbow joint and involves internal rotation of the elbow joint and the crossing over of the radius and ulna bones. It's when the palm of the hand moves from facing upward to downward
Supination - This is the opposite of pronation and occurs when the elbow joint experiences external rotation and the radius and ulna bones are lined up. This can be seen as the movement from a downward facing palm to an upward facing palm. A way to remember this is 'sup' sounding like
'soup' and you would hold a bowl of soup with your palm facing upward.
Inversion - This is when the sole of the foot is turned inwards towards the midline of the body
Eversion - This movement is the opposite of inversion and occurs when the sole of the foot moves outwards and away from the midline of the body
Elevation - This occurs when a body part moves upward in the vertical plane such as the shrugging of shoulders
Depression - This is the opposite of elevation and is when a body part is moved downwards in
When it contracts it causes flexion in the wrist. It's located under the endangerment site antecubital.
The muscles’ stretched starting position means that the individual sarcomeres of her muscles have less overlap
Hinge The convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another bone, Hinge joint are uniaxial because they allow motion around a single axis. Produces an opening and closing motion.
As Dr. Akizuki explains, "In order to get exposure to the joint you used to have to detach the entire flexor attachment [the muscles that flex the elbow--you can feel those muscles by feeling along the incision site]. You used to just fillet that open."
during these movements, the angles of those joints, as well as the muscles involved during the

For shoulder flexion 61% of the variance could be accounted for by the sit-and-reach. A correlation was also found between the modified sit-and-reach test and both the shoulder extension and hip flexion tests. For shoulder extension 33% of the variance was accounted for by the modified sit-and-reach and for hip flexion 22% of the variance was accounted for by the modified sit-and-reach.
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint which allows it a flexion and extension motion.
Food is essential part of our lives. Actually, food gives energy and full fill the needs of our body. There are variety of foods in the market now days earlier we were able to get raw food but new technology change people lives perpetually.

There are many different ways to disciplining a child and corporal punishment is one of the main ones. Corporal punishment means the intention of giving pain to the body for purposes of punishment and it includes pinching, shaking, hitting with objects and forcing to stand for long time. Family researchers define corporal punishment as the use of physical force to cause children to experience pain but not injury for the purposes of correction and control of behavior. This essay is going to talk about how corporal punishment affect the child and parent relationship.
Did you know that about 53,000 nonsmokers die every year from secondhand smoker? It is the number one cause death that can be preventable. Anti-smoking advertisements occasionally pop up throughout our society showing the harmful effects tobacco through graphic pictures, images, and commercials. The advertisement I chose using the image of an innocent child around the presence of cigarette smoke to foreshadow its ascent into heaven. Off to the side appear the words, ‘”Children of parents who smoke, get to heaven earlier.” This powerful image utilize the image rhetorical appeals ethos, logos, and pathos through the image it implied meaning. This image is able to promote awareness of deadlines of secondhand
The knee travels with a slight flexion at 5° to nearly 20° of flexion by the end of loading response. The knee then extends through a single support, with a peak stance of phase extension at a 40% Gait Cycle. In conclusion of the terminal stance and preswing, knee flexion is rapid, continuing through initial swing until peak knee flexion at 60°. Preswing is defined as one of the five stages in the stance phase of walking or gait. This trend then is reversed, with knee extension continuing through terminal swing.
