Talk:Anatomical terms of motion

Clarify the distinction between inversion/eversion and pronation/supination of the foot
Could the difference between inversion/eversion and pronation/supination of the foot please be clarified? As far as I can tell, the definitions given in the article are synonymous with each other:
 * Pronation of the foot refers to turning of the sole outwards, so that weight is borne on the medial part of the foot.
 * Eversion is the movement of the sole of the foot away from the median plane.

A similar request was made in, but was not discussed or addressed. 109.65.57.127 (talk) 14:22, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Hmm. This article calls pronation/supination rotation around of the foot around the axis formed by the lower leg, and inversion/eversion rotation of the foot around the axis formed by the foot itself. However googling for "supination pronation foot hand" (I'm *actually* interested in the difference in terminology here because as far as I can understand it pronation as described feels intuitively - to me - like the opposite direction for hand and foot and I was wondering why) shows that the top few hits appear to universally describe pronation/supination as what is described here as inversion/eversion. So something is clearly wrong somewhere, even if it's just failing to be clear about the details/context of terminology. 82.24.247.127 (talk) 03:07, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

motions of joints, not body parts
I believe it is more precise to list anatomical terms of motions in terms of the motions of the joints, not the body parts. Furthermore, the motion is references from the anatomical position. There is no mention of either of these in this article. I teach anatomy, and students get very confused if these two points are not specified. Is it worth rewriting this to clarify? As it stands, I can't refer to this article for my course. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick Ams (talk • contribs) 11:14, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

"Physiological movement" now redirects here.
It essentially contained a brief list of the topics contained here, but not in a way that justified an explicit list article. Hence the blank and redirect. N7fty (talk) 17:23, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
