1.11 Describe joint movement potential and joint actions

Joint movement potential and actions include:

Flexion and Extension: Decreasing and increasing the angle between bones (e.g., bending and straightening the elbow).
Abduction and Adduction: Moving a limb away from or towards the body’s midline (e.g., lifting an arm sideways away from the body).
Rotation: Moving a bone around its axis (e.g., turning the head).
Circumduction: A circular movement combining flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction (e.g., moving the arm in a circle).
Supination and Pronation: Rotating the forearm so the palm faces upward or downward.
