Answer 1

1. Retraction --> E) movement to posterior plane.

- Example: during retraction of scapula, the scapula is moved backwards i.e posteriorly. Retraction and protraction are antagonistic (opposite) movements.

2. Dorsiflexion --> I) movement to stand on the heels.

- Example: During standing on heel, there is dorsiflexion of foot in which the foot is pulled upwards. Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion are opposite movements.

3. Eversion --> B) movement to turn foot outward.

- Example: During eversion movement of foot, there is movement at the ankle joint which causes the foot to face outward. Eversion and inversion of foot are opposite movements at ankle joint.

4. Inversion --> H) movement to turn foot inward.

- Example: Inversion also occurs at the ankle joint in which the foot turns inward.

5. Pronation --> C) palm moved to face posteriorly.

- Example: During pronation, the forearm and palm moves such that they face posteriorly. The palm and forearm face in the downward direction.

6. Plantar flexion --> F) movement to stand on tiptoes.

- Example: During plantar flexion, the foot faces in the downward direction such that during standing on tiptoes.

7. Protraction --> G) movement in anterior plane.

- Example: During protraction of scapula, it moves anteriorly in the forward direction.

8. Supination --> D) palm moved to face anteriorly.

- Example: During supination, the palm and forearm faces in the upward direction. Supination and pronation are antagonist (opposite) movements.

9. Adduction --> J) movement toward midline.

- Example: During adduction of arm, there is movement of arm towards the midline of the body and the arm moves inwards.

10. Abduction --> A) movement away from the midline.

- Example: During abduction of the arm, there is movement of arm away from the midline of the body and it moves outward. Abduction and adduction are antagonistic (opposite) movements.
