Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the definitions of each term related to joint movements: Circumduction, Abduction, Flexion, and Rotation.
Circumduction is a circular movement of a limb that combines flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction in sequence, resulting in a conical motion.
Abduction refers to the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body.
Flexion is the action of bending a joint, decreasing the angle between two body parts.
Rotation involves the movement of a body part around its own axis, such as turning the head from side to side.
Identify that circumduction is the only movement that involves a circular path, as it combines multiple types of movements to create a conical motion.
