• Clear your desk
• When your done with your
test their will be an
assignment on the board
for you to do while
everyone finishes
12/11/2015 – Muscles Movements,
Types, and Names • ET: Take out your flash cards from yesterday
• LT: Today I will…
1. Break down the
different types of
muscle movements
2. Use these muscles
movements to
describe different
exercises

Flexion
Extension
Abduction
Adduction
Rotation
Circumduction
Pronation
Supination
Inversion
Eversion
Dorsiflexion
Plantar flexion
Flexion – generally decreases the angle of the
joint and brings two bones closer together
Extension – increases the distance between the
two bones involved and increases the joint angle
Abduction and Adduction – away
from or toward the midline
Rotation – movement of a bone
around it’s longitudinal axis
Circumduction – movement in a circular motion
(ball and sockets). The proximal end is stationary
and the distal end moves in a circle
Pronation and Supination – The rotation of the
palm so that it faces posteriorly (pronation) or
anteriorly (supination)
Inversion and Eversion – the solve of the foot
faces inward (inversion) or outward (eversion)
Dorsiflexion and Plantar flexion
Body Movement Poster Project
• Choose an exercise: only one exercise/person. No doubles or repeats
• Identify the muscle involved in that exercise
• Explain the different types of body movements involved in performing
that exercise – upward rotation, depression, elevation, retraction….
• Create a poster for this exercise
• Picture/pictures (5)
• List of the muscle involved (muscles labeled on a diagram/picture) (5)
• Body movements explain with diagrams (10) *you need to use the body
movements to explain how the exercise is to be done
• Presentation and demonstration (10) *may use your self or someone else as a
demo
