Unit 8: Emergency Preparedness

Question 2 • Sports Medicine 1a

To test balance and strength, Micah asks his client to stand up and try to move his right leg in a circular motion without moving the rest of his body. What type of movement does this MOST accurately demonstrate?

Answer
A
circumduction
B
pronation
C
inversion
D
supination

Explanation

Circumduction is a circular movement of a limb, combining flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction. Moving the right leg in a circle while keeping the rest of the body still demonstrates circumduction. Pronation and supination are rotational movements, while inversion turns the sole of the foot inward.
