ANATOMICAL
TYPES OF
MOVEMENT
GROUP 1 PRESENTATION
LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
01 • Demonstrate the different types of
body movements.
02 •04
Identify the joints that allow for
these motions.
03 • Develop an understanding of
anatomical movements.
WHAT IS THE ANATOMICAL
MOVEMENT
- it is the act or instance
of moving the bodily
structures or as the change
of position in one or more of
the joints of the body.
TYPES OF ANATOMICAL
MOVEMENTS
GLIDING ROTATIONAL
MOVEMENTS MOVEMENTS
ANGULAR SPECIAL
MOVEMENTS MOVEMENTS
GLIDING
MOVEMENT
-occurs when the surfaces of
bones move past one another
in a linear direction, but
without significant rotary or
angular movement.
GLIDING
MOVEMENT
Other plane joints that allow
gliding include the sacroiliac joint
of the pelvis, the acromioclavicular
joint of the shoulder, the
femoropatellar joint, tibiofibular
joint, sternocostal joints for ribs
2-7, vertebrocostal joints, and the
intervertebral joints of the spine.
ANGULAR
MOVEMENT
-Angular movements
are produced when
the angle between
the bones of a joint
changes
TYPES OF
ANGULAR MOVEMENTS
ABDUCTION ADDUCTION
FLEXION EXTENSION
CIRCUMDUCTION
ABDUCTION
-the movement of a
structure away
from its midline
reference point.
What a re the muscles
involve in
ADDUCTION?
the primary muscles
involved in the action
of arm abduction
includes the
supraspinatus,deltoid,
trapezius, and
serratus anterior.
ADDUCTION
-occurs as the
structure is
ADDED back toward
the midline
reference point.
What are the muscles
involve in
ADDUCTION?
the muscles
involved are
pectoralis major,
latissimus dorsi
and teres major.
FLEXION
-decreases the
angle between
two structures
as they bend
or more closer
together.
EXTENSION
-increases the
angle between two
structures as
they straighten
or more further
apart.
W HAT ARE THE
EXAMPLES OF
FLEXION AND
EXTENSION?
Elbow / Forearm
FLEXION
Angle between
forearm and arm
decreases as ulna
moves toward
humerous bone.
Elbow / Forearm
EXTENSION
Angle between
forearm and arm
increases as ulna
moves away humerous
bone.
Shoulder / Arm
FLEXION
Angle at the
humerous of arm and
scapula bone
decreases as arms
move anteriorly.
Shoulder / Arm
EXTENSION
Angle at the
humerous of arm and
scapula bone
increases as arms
move posteriorly.
Wrist / Hand
FLEXION
Angle at the palm
of hand and
anterior surface of
the forearm
decreases.
Wrist / Hand
EXTENSION
Angle at the palm
of hand and
anterior surface of
the forearm
increases.
Finge r / Digit
FLEXION
Angle between
digits 2-5 and the
palm decreases.
Finge r / Digit
EXTENSION
Angle between
digits 2-5 and the
palm increases.
INTERPHALANGEAL
JOINTS: FLEXION
AND EXTENSION
Thumb / Pollex
FLEXION
Thumb flexion moves
the thumb toward
the pinky finger.
Thumb / Pollex
EXTENSION
Thumb extension
moves the thumb
away from the pinky
finger.
Hip / Thigh
FLEXION
Hip flexion (or thigh
flexion) occurs when the
angle between the femur of
the thigh and hipbone
decreases as the thigh
moves anteriorly (forward)
Hip / Thigh
EXTENSION
Hip extension (thigh
extension) occurs when
the angle between the
femur and the hip bone
increases, as the hip
joint straightens.
Kne e / Leg
FLEXION
occurs when the tibia
bone moves toward the
femur, causing the
angle to decrease
between those two
structures.
Knee / Leg
EXTENSION
occurs as the angle
between the leg bones
increases, causing the
leg to straighten.
Toe
FLEXION
involves bending the
toes toward the sole
of the foot,
decreasing the angle
between these two
structures
Toe
EXTENSION
involves increasing
the angle and
straightening the
toes.
Spine
FLEXION
angle between spine
and hip decreases.
Spine
EXTENSION
angle between spine
and hip increases.
spine can continue to
extend beyond the
anatomical position.
Neck
FLEXION
occurs as the angle
between the head and
the trunk of the body
decreases as those two
structures move closer
together
Neck
EXTENSION
occurs as the head
moves away from the
trunk of the body,
thus increasing the
angle.
Late ra l Spine / Neck
FLEXION
head or trunk
bends to left or
right side.
Late ra l Spine / Neck
EXTENSION
head or trunk
returns toward
body’s midline.
CIRCUMDUCTION
-an angular movement
that blends the
motions of
abduction, flexion,
adduction, and
extension, to create
s circular or
colonical motion.
What are the muscles involve
in CIR CUMDUCTION?
the muscles involve are
Pectoralis major,
subscapularis,
coracobrachialis, biceps
brachii, supraspinatus,
deltoid, latissimus dorsi,
teres major and minor,
ROTATIONAL
MOVEMENT
-a body movement
term that describes
a bone moving around
a central axis.

VERTIBRAL

TYPES OF
ROTATION MOVEMENTS
MEDIAL LATERAL
(INTERNAL) (EXTERNAL)
ROTATION ROTATION
MEDIAL (INTERNAL)
MOVEMENT
-Movement that
brings the anterior
surface of the limb
toward the midline
of the body.
LATERAL (EXTERNAL)
MOVEMENT
-the movement of the
humerus when an arm flexed
to 90° at the elbow is
externally rotated around
the longitudinal plane of
the humerus such that the
hand moves away from the
midline of the body

DEPRESSION REFRACTION REPOSITION
Pronation
Pronation is the motion
that moves the forearm
from the supinated
(anatomical) position
to the pronated (palm
backward) position.
What are the muscles
involve in PRONATION?
Pronation is produced
by forearm muscles
(pronator teres,
pronator quadratus and
flexor carpi radialis).
Supinati on
Supination is the
opposite motion, in
which rotation of the
radius returns the bones
to their parallel
positions and moves the
palm to the anterior
facing (supinated)
position.
What are the muscles
involve in
SUPINATION?
Supination is
achieved by a
combination of
supinator (in
forearm) and biceps
Dorsiflexion and
Plantar Flexion
-are movements at the ankle
joint, which is a hinge joint.
Lifting the front of the foot, so
that the top diffent anatomical
types of movementof the foot
moves toward the anterior leg is
dorsiflexion, while lifting the
heel of the foot from the ground
or pointing the toes downward is
plantar flexion.
Inversion and
Eversion
-Inversion and Eversion
are complex movements
that involve the multiple
plane joints among the
tarsal bones of the
posterior foot
(intertarsal joints) and
thus are not motions that
take place at the ankle
Depression and
Elevation
Depression and Elevation
are downward and upward
movements of the scapula
or mandible. The upward
movement of the scapula
and shoulder is
elevation, while a
downward movement is
depression.
Protraction and
Retraction
Protraction of the scapula
occurs when the shoulder is
moved forward, as when
pushing against something
or throwing a ball.
Retraction is the opposite
motion, with the scapula
being pulled posteriorly and
medially, toward the
vertebral column.
Opposition and
Reposition
Opposition refers to the
movement that involves
grasping of the thumb and
fingers.
Reposition refers to
restoring an object to
its natural condition.
