Explanation / Answer

The definitions of all the terms are given below. Those that matched with the definitions in the question have been bolded.

Supination - rotate the hand outwards, so that the palm faces upwards.

Hyperextension - movement beyond the joint's zero position (extreme extension above normal anatomical position).

Elevation - raises a body part vertically in the frontal plane.

Flexion - usually decreases a joint angle.

Inversion - tilting sole of foot towards midline.

Pronation - rotate the hand inwards, so that the palm faces downwards.

Extension - usually returns a body part to zero position (increases joint angle).

Depression - lowers a body part vertically in the frontal plane.

Abduction - movement in the frontal plane away from the midline.

Adduction - movement in the frontal plane back toward the midline.
