Supta Kurmasana knee, some definitio

[Guest guest]

Some definitions are in order: <br>These terms

define relative direction from a defined point of origin

which anatomically speaking, is basically the center of

the body<br>Distal(far from) versus Proximal(close

to)<br>Medial(toward middle, inside) versus Lateral (toward outside,

away from middle).<br><br>So distal means away from

the middle of the body or away from a point of origin

- as in your fingers are distal to your arm, your

wrist is more proximal to your arm than your fingers.

<br><br>The medial knee is the INSIDE of the knee whereas the

lateral knee is the OUTSIDE of the knee. Your left eye is

medial to your left ear but lateral to your

nose.<br><br>Hope this helps. Namaste,
