The document defines and provides examples of different types of flexion and extension movements of the body:
1. Flexion is the forward movement of a body part like the elbow bending. Lateral flexion bends the body sideways. Horizontal flexion involves flexing a body part through the horizontal plane like throwing a discus.
2. Other examples of flexion include dorsiflexion of the ankle and plantar flexion, which point the foot away and toward the tibia respectively.
3. Extension is the opposite of flexion, straightening a body part backwards. Horizontal extension also occurs through the horizontal plane opposite to horizontal flexion. Hyperextension beyond normal ranges is also discussed.

1.
Flexion is defined as the forward movement of the arm to a
point in front of the body. Example jan is yung nasa picture, which is an elbow flexion.
2. Lateral Flexion is bending sideways as you can see sa picture,
and it can occur to both the right and the left. The trunk and neck can also flex sideways.
3. Horizontal Flexion is a body segment flexes through the
horizontal plane. One of its example is throwing the discuss, the disc, nakakita na ba kayo ng ganun? (idedemonstarte ko) and isa pang example is the sidearm pitch, na nandyan sa picture. 4. Dorsiflex also called as Dorsal Flex, is when the ankle is flexed, causing the top of the foot to draw closer to the tibia.
5. Plantar Flexion - papalayo naman siya sa tibia. It is the opposite
movement at the ankle.
6. Extension (Straightening)is defined as a rearward movement of
the arm to a point behind the body, it is the opposite direction of flexion. Yung flexion diba paharap, etong extension, palikod naman siya. 7. Horizontal Extension (Horizontal Abduction) occurs when the body segment extends through the horizontal plane. (okay so opposite nanaman siya of course ng horizontal flexion, kapag masakit yung balikat natin, we do this movement. <demonstrate ng pagstretch patalikod>).
8. Hyperextension is extension of a body segment to a position
beyond its normal extended position, also in medical terminology, ‘hyperextension’ often means to extend a joint beyond its normal, healthy range. Example niyan is arching the back. (Movement is limited by the strong anterior cruciate ligament.) 9. Abduction is movement of a body segment in the lateral plane away from the midline of the body, such as raising the leg or the arm sideways.
10. Next is Adduction moving the arm from the outward horizontal position downward to the vertical position. Pabalik naman siya galing sa abduction position.
