Summary Introduction

To determine:

The description of flexion movements along with an example.

Introduction:

The angular motion either increase or decrease the angle between the bones. Flexion movement is a type of angular movement. These movements occur at various synovial joints. Some other examples of angular movements are the extension, circumduction, and abduction.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The description of circumduction movement along with an example.

Introduction:

The motions which either decrease or increase the angle between the bones are known as angular motions. The angular movement may occur at many of the synovial joints. They include extension, flexion, abduction, adduction and circumduction.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The description of the opposition movement along with an example.

Introduction:

The opposition is a type of special movements. Some motions occur at specific joints and are not involved in any function. These movements are called as a special movement. Some of the examples of special movements are flexion, eversion, opposition and retraction.

A muscle that helps an agonist by causing a similar movement or by stabilizing a joint over which the agonist acts is (a) an antagonist, (b) a prime mover, (c) a synergist, (d) a fulcrum.
Distinguish between a synergist, antagonist, and fixator. Explain how each of these may affect the action of a prime mover.
During her initial visit with the physical therapist, Mrs. Tanner presented with significant "foot drop" (the inability to dorsiflex the foot when taking a step). Mrs. Tanner was asked to perform a variety of movements with her right lower extremity. The therapist focused her attention on the prime movers and synergists of the hip, knee, and ankle. What are "prime movers" and "synergists"? Explain your answer.
