abduction
DEFINITION 4 movement of a limb away from the midline or median plane of the body, generally on the frontal plane, or the fanning movement of fingers or toes when they are spread apart TERM 5
adduction
DEFINITION 5 movement of a limb toward the midline of the body dawing the fingers or toes together; opposite of abduction
rotation
movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis without lateral or medial displacement. common in ball and socket joints. describes the movement of the atlas around the odontoid process of the axis TERM 7
circumduction
DEFINITION 7 In anatomy, circumduction means to move a limb in a circular manner. TERM 8
pronation
DEFINITION 8 In anatomy, pronation is a rotational movement of the forearm at the radioulnar joint, or of the foot at the subtalar and talocalcaneonavicular joints. TERM 9
