Answer 1

Extension: F. When the joint angle increases like straightening the knee.

Flexion: H. When the joint angle decreases like the elbow in a bicep curl.

Internal Rotation: K. The distal segment of the joint rotates away from the midline.

ABduction: E. When the extremity or body part moves away from the midline, like the arm and leg at the start of a jumping jack.

Adduction: G. When the extremity or body part moves toward the midline.

External Rotation: J. When the forearm rotates and the palm turns up.

Dorsiflexion: A. When the toes and foot move toward the ground or the heel lifts upward.

Plantarflexion: B. When the foot moves toward the anterior tibia or the body moves over the planted foot.

Eversion: C. When the bottom of the foot turns outward.

Pronation: L. When the forearm rotates so that the palm faces downward.

Supination: When the forearm rotates and the palm turns up (same as external rotation, but typically used for the forearm).

Inversion: When the bottom of the foot turns inward, common ankle sprain.
