What are the four main types of movement?

Answer 1

Ranges of Motion:
1) Flexion: bending a joint to decrease the angle between two bones or two body parts.
2) Extension: straitening and extending of the joint to increase the angle between two bones or body parts.
3) Abduction: Moving the body part away from the body.
4) Adduction: moving the body part toward the mid-line of the body.
5) Rotation: Moving the body part around its axis.
6) Internal rotation: Moving of shoulder or hip would point the toes or the flexed forearm inwards towards the mid-line.
7) External rotation: Moving would turn the toes or the flexed forearm outwards away from the mid-line.
8) Supination: Turning the palm of the hand upward.
9) Pronation: Turning the palm of the hand outward.
10) Eversion: Turning the body part outward.
11) Inversion: turning the body part inward.
12) Planter flexion: Bending of the foot that causes the toe to point downward, as if pressing an automobile pedal.
14) Dorsiflexion: Bending of the foot that causes the toe to point upward.
15) Circumduction:The circular (or, more precisely, conical) movement of a body part, such as a ball-and-socket joint or the eye. It consists of a combination of flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction. "Windmilling" the arms or rotating the hand from the wrist are examples of circumductive movement.
16) Opposition: A motion involving a grasping motion of the thumb and fingers.
17) Reposition: To release an object by spreading the fingers and thumb.

Answer 2

Rotary motion - around and around and around

Linear motion - moving in 1 direction

Reciprocating motion - forwards & backwards

Oscillating motion - like a pendulum

(...Rabok...)

Answer 3

Rotary motion is turning round in a circle, such as a wheel turning.

Linear motion is moving in a straight line, such as on a paper trimmer.

Reciprocating motion is moving backwards and forwards in a straight line, as in cutting with a saw.

Oscillating motion is swinging from side to side, like a pendulum in a clock.
