Name the 9 classifications of joint movements and explanations of the movements.
Abduction:away from body. Adduction:toward body. Flexion:closing of a hinge joint.
Extension:straighten a joint. Retraction:backward. Protraction:forward.Circumduction:Circular
mvmnt. Supination:anterior side upward. Pronation: anterior side downward.
Why should passive movements be applied before active movements?
In some instances they should not particulary if you are assessing a contracture and in some
cases they prepare muscle structures for the more strenuous active exercises.
Acute Bronchitis
Inflammation of the bronchial tree anywhere between the trachea and the bronchioles.
Anemia
Symptom rather than a disease itself. It indicates a shortage of red blood cells, hemoglobin, or
both.
Anorexia Nervosa
