Circumduction is a type of movement that involves a continuous sequence of flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction resulting in a distal body part moving in a circle. Gliding refers to a sliding movement of two opposing surfaces, lateral flexion is a bending to the side, hyperextension is an excessive extension beyond normal range of motion, and elevation refers to lifting a body part higher.
