Joint Movements: Gliding, Angular Movement, Sternoclavicular joint, Shoulder joint, Elbow joint, and Hip joint

Special Movements
1. Eversion: pointing the foot’s sole laterally and outward.
2. Inversion: pointing the foot’s sole medially inward. The most typical method of ankle spraining.
3. Dorsiflexion, which involves pointing the toes or foot upward.
4. Plantar flexion: standing on “tippy toes,” pointing the toes downward, and lengthening the ankle.
5. Lateral flexion, which is the bending of the spine to the left or right without twisting.
6. Protraction: anterior movement in the horizontal plane, such as protruding your jaw.
7. Retraction: returning to the anatomical position by doing the opposite of protraction.
8. Opposition: thumb motion in the direction of fingers. To hold onto things. The reverse is repositioning.
9. Elevation: better movement, such as shoulder shrugging.
