what does circumduction mean
Circumduction is a conical movement of a limb extending from the joint (e.g. shoulder or hip) at which the movement is controlled. True circumduction allows for 360 degrees of movement.ecause circumduction movements of (e.g. the arm and hand) result in the outer edge of the limb (e.g. the finger tips). . Another way to express this is to say that circumduction is the movement of the distal end of a body part so that it traces a circle.
