Flexion – bending a joint. This occurs when the angle of a ... Ball and socket joints also allow types of movement called abduction, adduction, rotation and circumduction. Abduction – movement ...

The different types of movement that are permitted at each joint are described below. Flexion – bending a joint. This occurs when the angle of a joint decreases. For example, the elbow flexes ...

Flexion makes the joint angle smaller ... making it an extension-focused movement. If you’re ever unsure, keep this simple maxim in mind: flexion is forward and extension is backward.

There are currently no accurate kinematic descriptions of joint kinematics in pressing movements in defensive situations ... The knee and hip joint kinematics using model-based image-matching ...

Knee-joint proprioception has been assessed using either reproduction of position ... Methods and main outcome measures: JPS was evaluated by reproduction of the angles in weight-bearing position with ...
