Antepulsion
Definition
A movement of translation or anterior projection of a body segment (such as the arm, shoulder, or mandible) forward, in a sagittal plane, relative to an anatomical reference position. This structural mechanism is coordinated by specific muscle groups and is frequently evaluated in locomotor system pathologies to determine the degree of joint mobility and establish physical rehabilitation protocols.
