Which of the following is NOT classified as a special movement?
A)elevation
B)protraction
C)circumduction
D)supination
E)dorsiflexion

Accepted Answer

Circumduction is a circular movement of a limb or eye where the distal end of the body part describes a circle while the proximal end remains fixed. It is not classified as a special movement but rather as a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements. Special movements are unique to certain joints and do not include circumduction, which is applicable to multiple joint types.
