Body Movements

There are general anatomical terms that can be used to describe most movements the body makes. Most terms have a clear opposite, and so are treated in pairs. These pairs include:

flexion - extension

abduction - adduction

circumduction (no opposite)

elevation - depression

internal/medial rotation - external/lateral rotation

dorsiflexion - plantar flexion

pronation - supination

inversion - eversion

protrusion/protraction - retrusion/retraction

opposition - reposition
