Body Movements Lab Activity
Study these slides. Then work with a
partner to make these motions and
movements
Angular Movement – know – (important
slide!)
1. Flexion — bending movement that decreases the angle of
the joint
2. Extension — reverse of flexion; joint angle is increased
3. Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion — up and down
movement of the foot
4. Abduction — movement away from the midline
5. Adduction — movement toward the midline
6. Circumduction — movement describes a cone in space
