Solution Summary

This solution address how rotation differs from circumduction.

Solution Preview

Circumduction is the combination of two movements, flexion-extension and adduction-abduction. For example, you can circumduct your humerus by moving your arm in a circle. The flexion part is the decreased angle of the articulating bones while the extension is the increased angle of the ...
