Questions: Match the appropriate description for each osteokinematic movement. Flexion Extension Abduction Adduction External rotation Internal rotation in general, movement in the frontal plane around the antero-posterioraxis toward the sagittal midline or toward the medial in general, movement in the frontal plane around the antero-posterior axis away from the sagittal midline or toward the lateral in general, movement in the transverse plane around a longitudinal axis toward the lateral, posterior, or away from midline in general, movement in the transverse plane around a longitudinal axis toward the medial, anterior, or toward midline in general, movement in the sagittal plane and around a mediolateral axis toward the anterior (the knee is the direction exception) in general, movement in the sagittal plane around the mediolateral axis toward the posterior (the knee is the direction exception)

The task is to match each osteokinematic movement with its appropriate description. Here are the correct matches:

1. Flexion: in general, movement in the sagittal plane and around a mediolateral axis toward the anterior (the knee is the direction exception)
2. Extension: in general, movement in the sagittal plane around the mediolateral axis toward the posterior (the knee is the direction exception)
3. Abduction: in general, movement in the frontal plane around the antero-posterior axis away from the sagittal midline or toward the lateral
4. Adduction: in general, movement in the frontal plane around the antero-posterior axis toward the sagittal midline or toward the medial
5. External rotation: in general, movement in the transverse plane around a longitudinal axis toward the lateral, posterior, or away from midline
6. Internal rotation: in general, movement in the transverse plane around a longitudinal axis toward the medial, anterior, or toward midline

Summary:

• Flexion: Movement in the sagittal plane toward the anterior.
• Extension: Movement in the sagittal plane toward the posterior.
• Abduction: Movement in the frontal plane away from the midline.
• Adduction: Movement in the frontal plane toward the midline.
• External rotation: Movement in the transverse plane toward the lateral or away from midline.
• Internal rotation: Movement in the transverse plane toward the medial or toward midline.
