Document Summary

Joint structure determines the movement: gliding, angular, circular, special movements. When 2 flat articular surfaces move against each other: can move in a variety of different directions, e. g. When one part of a linear structure is bent relative to another structure. Relative to the coronal plane: the knee and foot are exceptions to the coronal plane definition. Movement in an anterior direction to the. Coronal plane: flexion is to bend, forward movement. Movement in an posterior direction to the coronal plane: backward movement. Pointing your toes downwards: plantar is the sole of your foot. Relative to a sagittal plane: can also divide specific structures in half. Lateral movement of hand away from your body: this is abduction of the wrist, e. g. Movement of your thumb towards the radius. Medial movement of hand towards your body: this is adduction of the wrist, e. g. Movement of your little finger towards the ulna. Movements that are done within a large circle.
