Movements at Synovial Joints1. Gliding2. Angular movements:

– Flexion, extension, hyperextension– Abduction, adduction– Circumduction

3. Rotation– Medial and lateral rotation

Page 3: Movements at Synovial joints

Movements at Synovial Joints4. Special movements

– Supination, pronation– Dorsiflexion, plantar flexion of the foot– Inversion, eversion– Protraction, retraction– Elevation, depression– Opposition

Page 4: Movements at Synovial joints

Gliding Movements

• One flat bone surface glides or slips over another similar surface

• Examples:– Intercarpal joints– Intertarsal joints– Between articular processes of vertebrae

Gliding

(a) Gliding movements at the wrist

Page 6: Movements at Synovial joints

Angular Movements

Movements that occur along the sagittal plane:• Flexion—decreases the angle of the joint• Extension— increases the angle of the joint• Hyperextension—excessive extension beyond

normal range of motion

(b) Angular movements: flexion, extension, and hyperextension of the neck

Angular Movements

Movements that occur along the frontal plane:• Abduction—movement away from the midline• Adduction—movement toward the midline• Circumduction—flexion + abduction +

extension + adduction of a limb so as to describe a cone in space

Adduction

(e) Angular movements: abduction, adduction, andcircumduction of the upper limb at the shoulder

Circumduction

Page 12: Movements at Synovial joints

Rotation

• The turning of a bone around its own long axis• Examples:– Between C1 and C2 vertebrae– Rotation of humerus and femur

(f) Rotation of the head, neck, and lower limb

Page 14: Movements at Synovial joints

Special Movements

• Movements of radius around ulna:– Supination (turning hand backward)– Pronation (turning hand forward)

Page 15: Movements at Synovial joints

Figure 8.6a

Supination(radius and ulna are parallel)

(a) Pronation (P) and supination (S)

Pronation(radius rotatesover ulna)

Special Movements

• Movements of the foot:– Dorsiflexion (upward movement) – Plantar flexion (downward movement)

Special Movements

• Movements of the foot:– Inversion (turn sole medially)– Eversion (turn sole laterally)
