Meedialrotatsiooni

Meedialrotatsiooni, also known as medial rotation, is a movement of a body part around its longitudinal axis, from a lateral position to a medial position. This term is commonly used in the fields of anatomy, medicine, and sports science to describe the rotation of limbs or joints. In anatomy, medial rotation refers to the movement of a body part towards the midline of the body. For example, in the shoulder joint, medial rotation involves rotating the arm inward, towards the body's center. This movement is often contrasted with lateral rotation, which moves the body part away from the midline. Medial rotation is crucial for various activities, such as throwing a ball or performing certain exercises, and is an essential component of functional movement and athletic performance. Understanding medial rotation is vital for physical therapists, athletes, and anyone interested in human movement and biomechanics.
