Away from Example: Abduction – Movement of a limb away from the midline of the body, such as raising the arm or leg laterally, common in physical therapy and exercise routines.
Term
ad
 Definition
Toward Example: Adduction – Movement of a limb toward the midline of the body, such as bringing the arm or leg back to its resting position after abduction.
Term
brady

Term
hyper
 Definition
Above, excessive Example: Hypertonia – Excessive muscle tone, resulting in stiffness or rigidity, commonly seen in conditions like cerebral palsy or stroke.
