Adduction brings the limb or hand toward or across the midline of the body, or brings the fingers or toes together. Circumduction is the movement of the limb, hand, or fingers in a circular pattern, using the sequential combination of flexion, adduction, extension, and abduction motions.
The ankle or talocrural joint is formed from the tibia and fibula of the lower leg and talus of the foot. Functionally, it acts as a hinge, allowing dorsiflexion (pulling the foot upwards towards the lower leg) and plantarflexion (pulling the foot downwards away from the lower leg).
20 Ιουλ 2023 · Flexion, or bending, involves decreasing the angle between the two entities taking part in the movement (bones or body parts). In contrast, extension , or straightening, involves increasing the respective angle.
To palpate the proximal ends of the tibia, bring the patient's knee into flexion to visualise the joint line between the femur and tibia. The patient performs lateral and medial rotation while you palpate the joint line where the movement occurs.
25 Σεπ 2024 · Flexion and extension are movements that take place within the sagittal plane and involve anterior or posterior movements of the trunk or limbs. In the limbs, flexion decreases the angle between the bones (bending of the joint), while extension increases the angle and straightens the joint.
30 Οκτ 2023 · Dorsiflexion of the foot is a movement that occurs in the sagittal plane exclusively at the ankle joint. It is the upward motion of the foot so that its dorsal (superior) surface approaches the shin, reducing the angle between them, hence the '-flexion' part of the name.
In the limbs, flexion decreases the angle between the bones (bending of the joint), while extension increases the angle and straightens the joint. For the upper limb, all anterior-going motions are flexion and all posterior-going motions are extension.
