Question

Hey brainliacs ,give me the difference between circumduction and rotation. answer required for a 3 mark question

Answer 1

Circumduction is the circular movement of a limb, for an arm the palm would remain facing the same direction as the arm describes a conical motion. Rotation is the turning around the axis.

  Circumduction is the movement of the limb, hand, or fingers in a circular pattern, using the sequential combination of flexion, adduction, extension, and abduction motions. Adduction/abduction and circumduction take place at the shoulder, hip, wrist, metacarpophalangeal, and metatarsophalangeal joints.

ROTATION EXAMPLE:e.g. a bone or a whole limb, pivots or revolves around a single long axis.
