What is muscle strain?
The _________ end of the tibia articulates with the distal end of the femur
What is proximal?

Divides the body into left and right sides
Movement of palm from posterior to anterior - returning to anatomical position.
What is supination

What is synovial joint?
Lack of physical activity can result in this
What is muscle atrophy?
