Synovial Movement Types
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Synovial joints produce movement types including flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, rotation, and, at specialized joints, supination, pronation, and opposition.
Show
Turning the palm face-up is supination; turning it face-down is pronation, both at the same forearm joint.
Watch for
Not every synovial joint permits every movement type — a joint's shape determines which motions it allows.
