Definitions

Adducted:
Extended:
Horizontally Abducted:
Linear: Along a line that may be straghit or curved, with all parts of the body moving in the same direction at the same speed.
Sagittal Plane: Plane in which forwar and backward movements of the body and body segments occur
Hyperextended: Rotation beyond anatomical position in the direction opposite of flexion
Force: push or pull; the product of mass and acceleration
Weight: Attractive force that the earth exerts on the body
Rotated:
Axis of Rotation: Imaginary line perpendicular to the plane of rotation and passing through the center of rotation.
Flexed:
Laterally Abducted:
Depressed:
Hyperflexed:
Frontal Plane: where Lateral movements of the body and body segments occur
Radial Deviation:
Specific Weight: Weight per unit of volume
Bent: Asymmetric loading that produces tension on one side of the body's longitudal axis and compression on the other side.
Stress: Distribution of force within a body, quantified as force divided by the area over which the force acts.
Angular: involivng rotation around a central line or point.
Ulnar Deviation:
Anteriorly: Toward the front of the body
