Question

What is the difference between flexion and abduction?

Answer 1

Answer:

Flexion of the shoulder joint occurs when the humerus (upper arm) moves forwards from the rest of the body, which happens at the end of an underarm throw or bowl in rounders. ... Abduction – movement away from the midline of the body. This occurs at the hip and shoulder joints during a jumping jack movement.

Answer 2

Answer:

Abduction is the movement away from the midline of the body. Adduction is the movement toward the middle line of the body. Extension is the straightening of limbs (increase in angle) at a joint. Flexion is bending the limbs (reduction of angle) at a joint.
