Movement patterns occurring at synovial joints
Movement patterns = terms used to describe the actions taking place at joints
Outline
• Joints: fixed; slightly moveable; synovial/freely moveable (types, structures, movement at each joint); movement available, eg flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction, pronation, supination, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, hyper-extension, inversion, eversion
Links to assessment
• P2 describe the different classifications of joints and the range of movement available at each
• M1 explain the different characteristics of joints and the range of movement available at each
• D1 compare and contrast the different classifications of joints and the range of movement available at each
• After each movement think of 3 sporting examples of your own
Flexion
Extension
Abduction
• The movement of a body part away from the midline of the body
• Example– if the arms are placed by
the side of the body and then raised laterally, abduction has occurred at the shoulder joint
Abduction
Adduction
• Adduction is movement towards the midline of the body
• Example
• lowering the arm to the side of the body
Circumduction
• Occurs when a circle can be drawn by the body part
• combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction
Rotation
• Angular motion about an axis
• This occurs at the shoulder during the dig forearm pass in volleyball
Pronation• A form of rotation• occur at the radio
ulna joint• Pronation occurs
where the palm of the hand is moved from facing upwards to downwards
Supination
• Supination occurs when the palm of the hand is turned to face upwards
Plantar flexion
• Occur at the ankle joint
• plantar flexion occurs when you point your toes
Dorsiflexion
• dorsiflexion occurs when the foot is raised upwards
Hyperextension
• Hyperextension – movement beyond the normal anatomical position in a direction opposite to flexion
Inversion
• Inversion – inward rotation of the foot
Eversion
• Eversion – outward rotation of the foot
