Verb: To abduct Increasing the angle between articulating bones, often to restore a part of the body to the anatomical position after it has been flexed. Movement of the forearm so that the palm is turned backward or downward. Flexion Movement of a bone such that it revolves around it’s own longitudinal axis (e.g. turning the head from side to side at the joint between the atlas and axis). Abductor Any muscle that moves one part of the body away from another - or away from the midline of the body. Action Movement (usually of skin or bone) caused by muscle contractions. Adduction Movement of a bone, and the limb of which it is a part, towards the mid-line of the body. Verb: To adduct Adductor Any muscle that moves one part of the body towards another - or towards the midline of the body. Dorsiflexion Backward flexion of a foot or hand, or of their digits. That is, bending fingers or toes backwards towards the upper surface of the foot or hand. Put another way: Bending of the foot (or hand) in the direction of the dorsum (superior surface), e.g. when standing on ones heels. Decreasing the angle between articulating bones. For example, “Plantar Flexion” is the bending of the toes (or fingers) downwards towards the sole (or palm). Flexor A muscle that causes a limb or other body-part to bend. Examples include the mucles of the arms, legs, fingers, and toes. Insertion The position at which the other end of the muscle (i.e. from its origin) is attached, by means of a tendon, to the moveable bone. Origin The attachment of muscle (by means of a tendon) to the stationary bone. Plantarflexion Flexion of a foot or hand, or of their digits. That is, bending fingers or toes towards the lower surface of the foot or hand. For example, bending the foot in the direction of the plantar surface, as when standing on your toes - as opposed to ones heels. Rotation Supination Movement of the forearm so that the palm is turned forward or upward.
