supination
Rotation of the hands and forearms so that the palms face upward
flexion
decreasing the angle of a joint in the anterior/posterior plane
abduction
(physiology) moving of a body part away from the central axis of the body
adduction
(physiology) moving of a body part toward the central axis of the body
plantar flexion
