Body
Movements
Learning Outcomes
O Define and identify the different body

movement.
O Identify the joints that allow for these motions
O To demonstrate the different movement of the
body
ABSTRACTION
O Synovial joints allow the body a tremendous

range of movements. Each movement at a
synovial joint result from the contraction or
relaxation of the muscles that are attached to
the bones on either side of the articulation.
O The type of movement that can be produced at
a synovial joint is determined by its structural
type. While the ball-and-socket joint gives the
greatest range of movement at an individual
joint, in other regions of the body, several
joints may work together to produce a
particular movement. Overall, each type of
synovial joint is necessary to provide the body
with its great flexibility and mobility.
Here are the different movement of our body.
O Abduction. Movement in the coronal plane that
moves a limb laterally away from the body; spreading
of the fingers
O Adduction. Movement in the coronal plane that

moves a limb medially toward or across the midline of
the body; bringing fingers together
O Circumduction. Circular motion of the arm, thigh,

hand, thumb, or finger that is produced by the
sequential combination of flexion, abduction,
extension, and adduction
O Depression. Downward (inferior) motion of the scapula
or mandible
O Dorsiflexion. Movement at the ankle that brings the top
of the foot toward the anterior leg
O Elevation. Upward (superior) motion of the scapula or
mandible
O Eversion. Foot movement involving the intertarsal
joints of the foot in which the bottom of the foot is
turned laterally, away from the midline
O Extension. Movement in the sagittal plane that
increases the angle of a joint (straightens the joint);
motion involving posterior bending of the vertebral
column or returning to the upright position from a
flexed position
O Flexion. Movement in the sagittal plane that

decreases the angle of a joint (bends the joint);
motion involving anterior bending of the vertebral
column
O Hyperextension. Excessive extension of joint,
beyond the normal range of movement
O Hyperflexion. Excessive flexion of joint, beyond the
normal range of movement
O Inferior rotation. movement of the scapula during

upper limb adduction in which the glenoid cavity of
the scapula moves in a downward direction as the
medial end of the scapular spine moves in an upward
direction
O Inversion. Foot movement involving the intertarsal
joints of the foot in which the bottom of the foot is
turned toward the midline
O Lateral excursion. Side-to-side movement of the
mandible away from the midline, toward either the
right or left side
O Lateral flexion. Bending of the neck or body
toward the right or left side
O Lateral (external) rotation. Movement of the arm
at the shoulder joint or the thigh at the hip joint that
moves the anterior surface of the limb away from
the midline of the body
O Medial excursion. Side-to-side movement that
returns the mandible to the midline
O Medial (internal) rotation. Movement of the arm at

the shoulder joint or the thigh at the hip joint that
brings the anterior surface of the limb toward the
midline of the body
O Opposition. Thumb movement that brings the tip of
the thumb in contact with the tip of a finger
O Plantar flexion. Foot movement at the ankle in
which the heel is lifted off of the ground
O Pronated position. Forearm position in which the
palm faces backward
O Pronation. Forearm motion that moves the palm of
the hand from the palm forward to the palm
backward position
O Protraction. Anterior motion of the scapula or
mandible
O Reposition. Movement of the thumb from
opposition back to the anatomical position (next to
index finger)
O Retraction. Posterior motion of the scapula or
mandible
O Rotation. Movement of a bone around a central axis

(atlantoaxial joint) or around its long axis (proximal
radioulnar joint; shoulder or hip joint); twisting of
the vertebral column resulting from the summation
of small motions between adjacent vertebrae
O Superior rotation. Movement of the scapula during
upper limb abduction in which the glenoid cavity of
the scapula moves in an upward direction as the
medial end of the scapular spine moves in a
downward direction
O Supinated position. Forearm position in which the

palm faces anteriorly (anatomical position)
O Supination. Forearm motion that moves the palm of

the hand from the palm backward to the palm forward
position
Three Types of Muscle
Contraction
Are all these different isos
getting confusing? Here’s a
quick summary to help you
remember which one is
which:
O Isotonic means “same tension,” and means weights
are lifted and lowered. Push-ups, squats, leg presses,
and biceps curls are all isotonic exercises.
O
O Isometric means “same length,” and your joints
remain stationary despite contacting your muscles.
Examples include planks and wall squats.
O Ex.
O
O Isokinetic means “same speed.” Your muscles
contract at the same speed and generate the same
force throughout the exercise. Most exercisers will
never get the opportunity to do isokinetic training.
O Isokinetic example
Three Types of Exercises
O The three main types of exercise

are cardiovascular exercise, strength
training and stretching. All three types of
exercise are important for physical fitness.
O Cardiovascular aerobic exercise is repetitive,

rhythmic exercise that increases your heart rate
and requires you to use more oxygen. It is often
called aerobic exercise, cardiovascular
exercise, or “cardi o” for short.
O Strength (or resistance) training is the process of
building and maintaining muscles in the body by
using progressively heavier weights (or resistance). It
is also called resistance training, weight lifting,
toning, and body building. Strength training is very
important for maintaining muscle mass throughout
your lifetime.
O Stretching or lengthening your muscles helps you
become more limber, which makes certain activities
of daily living easier. Plus, the improved flexibility
gained from stretching regularly helps you prevent
injuries when you are performing everyday body
movements and especially during exercise.
Stretching also reduces muscle tension, increases
circulation, and improves posture
APPLICATION/ PRELIM EXAM
O After learning the different movements of the
body, it’s about time for you to perform and
familiarize the different movements of the
Body.
O Make sure to secure videos while performing
for documentation purposes. And please post
your video to our page in P.E 1 as your prelim
exam.
Criteria for grading
O Costume 10 points
O Appropriateness 10 points
O Uniqueness/ Creativity 30 points
O Proper execution 50 points
O Total 100 points
Deadline
O OCTOBER 17, 2021 (SUNDAY)
O Late submission will be deducted 2 points

everyday.
Assignment
O Please read and study your lesson in this PPT
because next time we will be having a long
quiz for these lessons. However, sample
videos will be posted to our page.
O If you have queries just please message me to

our GC.
