(I’m only showing the left arm and only three sides because if these symbols are clear the others will be clear as well.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My problem is that I don’t know what is considered the front of the arm. This is because the forearm can move in so many directions including rotating. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If we look at row 0, from left to right we have upper arm, elbow, forearm and wrist.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If we look at the first column, from top to bottom we have front, side, and back. (the other side is in row 3, not shown)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here is what I am guessing:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Column 0 the upper arm<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 0, column 1 The front of the upper arm is the side where if you “make a muscle” the muscle will make a little lump. If you arm hangs down by your side, this is what a viewer can see.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 1, column 1 The side shown is the side opposite the armpit side. If you leaned to your left against a wall, that’s the side that would contact the wall.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 2, column 0 is the side or the upper arm that contacts your chair when you lean back in the chair.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This seems pretty clear.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Column 1 the elbow area:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 0, column 1 is the inside of the elbow – the crease<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 1, column 1 is the side of the elbow that is neither the point nor the crease, and does not touch the body if you close your arm to your side. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 2, column 1 is the pointy side of the elbow<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Column 2 the forearm<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 0, column 2 is the side of the forearm that the viewer would see if you hang your arm down at your side and turn your palms to the back. If you drew a line down your forearm onto your hand, the line would go across the back of the hand.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 1, column 2 is the thumb side of the forearm. With your hand hanging down, if you trace a line down the forearm, it will go along the thumb side of your hand.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 2, column 2 is the side of the forearm that someone behind you could see if you hang your arm down at your side and turn your palms to the back. If you drew a line down your forearm onto your hand, the line would go across the palm of the hand.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Column 3 the wrist<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 0, column 3 is the side of the wrist next to the back of the hand.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 1, column 3 is the thumb side of the wrist. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Row 2, column 3 is the palm side of the wrist.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Have I guessed correctly?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!
