wrist, and hand, and name their primary actions as agonists, stabilizers,
neutralizers, or antagonists;
(D) analyze the fundamental movements of the forearm, hand, and fingers
with respect to joint and muscle actions; and
(E) describe the common athletic injuries of the forearm, elbow, wrist, and
fingers.

of the articulations of the pelvic girdle and hip joint;
(B) define and demonstrate the movements possible in the pelvic girdle and
hi
p joint, regardless of starting position;
(C) define and locate the muscles and muscle groups of the pelvis and hi
p,
and name their primary actions as agonists, stabilizers, neutralizers, or
antagonists;
(D) analyze the fundamental movements of the pelvis and thigh with respec
t
to joint and muscle actions; and
(E) describe the common athletic injuries of the pelvis, hip, and thigh.
