0 the act of bending an arm, leg, etc. or of tightening a muscle:
After physiotherapy, the shoulder flexion significantly increased.
hip flexion
At this stage the precise location of the flexion point should be identified.
For such locomotion limb with only two joints at hip and knee, an initial backward flexion will help to produce a suitable swing motion.
Axial traction should be used, limiting the extent of lateral flexion of the head.
A transoesophageal four chamber view,19 obtained with mild anterior flexion of the probe, was usually used.
Simultaneous extension and flexion of fingers is one more feature in the representation than one of these movements in isolation.
By rapidly accelerating the hip forward (flexion velocity and flexion moment), there is a positive power.
All the plates had a thickness of 1.2 cm, large enough to avoid flexion at the pressures we used.
Attenuation of the optic stalk occurred in the post-flexion stage coincident with a progressive rounding of the eye elliptical index of 0.61 6 0.06!
