hip flexion
After physiotherapy, the shoulder flexion significantly increased.
Initial forward flexion, corresponding to a "heel-up" position if the shin comprises a foot, does not allow the biped to generate an adequate swing.
During swing a small but prolonged hip flexion moment is seen for the single-axis joint assumption model.
The angle of flexion of a whole finger with 3 joints was measured with a protractor.
The idea behind this approach is making the fingers and thumb to behave as springs with a neutral position in full flexion.
Since the polycentric knee effectively moves the center of rotation posterior, an increased flexion moment (the extension stop) is expected.
There were fixed flexion deformities of the interphalangeal joints of both thumbs and fifth fingers, and webbing between each thumb and the forefinger.
An extensor muscle is used in the proportional position control of the digit flexion; the greater the tension the wider the hand opens.
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!
