 What is
MOVEMENT?
 MOVEMENT

• Involves an entity moving from point A to

point B.
• In physical education, movement is very
important because everything you do
requires you to make a move.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Flexion / Extension Abduction / adduction

ProtRusion / retrusion Depression / elevation

MEDIAL / LATERAL
Pronation / supination
ROTATION

Circumduction DEVIATION
Opposite / reposition Inversion / eversion
Hyperflexion /
hyperextension
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Flexion / Extension
FLEXION - or bending, involves decreasing the angle
between the two entities taking part in the movement
(bones or body parts)
EXTENSION - or straightening, involves increasing the
respective angle.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Abduction / adduction

The movements of abduction and adduction are

intimately related to the median plane. They both
generally occur in the frontal plane and are happening
around an anteroposterior axis.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
ProtRusion / retrusion

PROTRUSION - involves a movement going straight

ahead or forward.
RETRUSION - is the opposite and involves going
backwards.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Depression / elevation

While protrusion and retrusion move anatomical

structures forward and backwards, depression and
elevation move them down (inferiorly) and up
(superiorly), respectively.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
MEDIAL / LATERAL
ROTATION
Medial rotation involves bringing the anatomical
structure closer to the median plane, while lateral
rotation involves moving it further away.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Pronation / supination

Strictly speaking, pronation and supination are

considered as two special types of rotation. They are
restricted to the forearm and involve the radius twisting
over the ulna.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Circumduction
• is a special type of movement that is actually a
combination of many other ones.
• is restricted to ball-and-socket type joints, such as
the shoulder and the hip.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
DEVIATION
• is a special type of movement that is restricted to
the wrist joint.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Opposite / reposition
• are restricted to the digits of the hand.
• opposition involves touching the pad of any one of
your fingers with the thumb of the same hand. 
Reposition is the reverse, which consists of
separating them.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Inversion / eversion
• In eversion, the plantar side of the foot is moved
away from the median plane so that it is turned
• laterally. 
In inversion, the plantar side is moved towards the
median plane, resulting in a medial turn.
 TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Hyperflexion /
hyperextension
• Hyperflexion and Hyperextension are exaggerated
movements beyond the normal limit permitted by a
joint. It can happen in limbs or the vertebral column
and can result in ligament tear, damage, or
dislocations.
JOINTS
 JOINTS
• Is the connection made between bones in the
body which link the skeletal system into a
functional whole

• They are constructed to allow for different

degrees and types of movement
 3 Main Types of JOINTS
(movements) :
Amphiarthroses

Synarthroses

Diarthroses 
 Synarthroses

• Immovable
• These are fixed or fibrous joints. 
• The immovable joints between the plates of
the skull are known as sutures.
 Amphiarthroses

• Slightly movable
• Also known as cartilaginous joints, these joints
are defined as two or more bones held so tightly
together that only limited movement can take
place.
• The vertebrae of the spine are good examples.
 Diarthroses

• Freely movable
• Also known as synovial joints, these joints
have synovial fluid enabling all parts of the
joint to smoothly move against each other.
• Examples include joints like the knee and
shoulder.
 TYPES OF FREELY
MOVABLE JOINTS:
Ball and Socket

Permitting movement in all directions, the ball and

socket joint features the rounded head of one bone
sitting in the cup of another bone. 
 TYPES OF FREELY
MOVABLE JOINTS:
Hinge

The hinge joint is like a door, opening and closing in

one direction, along one plane. 
 TYPES OF FREELY
MOVABLE JOINTS:
Condyloid

The condyloid joint allows movement, but no rotation. 

 TYPES OF FREELY
MOVABLE JOINTS:
Pivot

also called the rotary joint or trochoid joint, is

characterized by one bone that can swivel in a ring
formed from a second bone.
 TYPES OF FREELY
MOVABLE JOINTS:
Gliding

also called the plane join. Although it only permits

limited movement, it’s characterized by smooth
surfaces that can slip over one another
 TYPES OF FREELY
MOVABLE JOINTS:
Saddle

Although the saddle joint does not allow rotation, it

does enable movement back and forth and side to side.
