Flexion - ANSWER-bending limb at joint
Extension - ANSWER-straightening limb at joint
Abduction - ANSWER-moving limb away from midline of body
Adduction - ANSWER-moving limb toward midline of body
Pronation - ANSWER-turning forearm so that palm is down
Supination - ANSWER-turning forearm so that palm is up
Circumduction - ANSWER-moving arm in circle around shoulder
Inversion - ANSWER-moving sole of foot inward at ankle
Eversion - ANSWER-moving sole of foot outward at ankle
Rotation - ANSWER-moving head around central axis
Protraction - ANSWER-moving body part forward, parallel to ground
Retraction - ANSWER-moving body part backward, parallel to ground
, Elevation - ANSWER-raising a body part
Depression - ANSWER-lowering a body part
Movements of upper extremities - ANSWER-Fingers: flex/ extend/ hyperextend
Wrist: flex/ extend/ hyperextend/ radial & ulnar deviation
Elbows: flex/extend
Shoulders: flex/ extend/ internal & external rotation/ circumduction
Movements of lower extremities - ANSWER-Hips: flex/ extend/ hyperextend/ abduction/
adduction/ internal & external rotation
Knees: flex/ extend
Ankles: dorsi/ plantar flexion
Crepitation - ANSWER-an audible sound that is produced by roughened articular
surfaces moving over each other
- can occur in the joints, like the knees, shoulders, elbows, and neck. It usually results
when surfaces in a joint rub together from long-term inflammatory conditions, like
rheumatoid arthritis
Fibromyalgia - ANSWER-widespread musculoskeletal pain greater than 3 months
accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbance, memory, and mood issues
- more prevalent in women than men
- issue with sensory processing allodynia and/or hyperalgesia
Osteoarthritis (OA) - ANSWER-progressive, degenerative joint disease with loss of
articular cartilage and hypertrophy of bone (formation of osteophytes, or bone spurs) at
articular surfaces
- characterized by hard, nontender, noninflammatory nodules, 2 to 3 mm or more.
- these osteophytes (bony overgrowths) of the DIP joints are called Heberden nodes.
Those of the PIP joints are called Bouchard nodes and are less common.
