7 Σεπ 2024 · Protraction & Retraction. Protraction describes the anterolateral movement of the scapula on the thoracic wall that allows the shoulder to move anteriorly. In practice, this is the movement of ‘reaching out’ to something.
For the vertebral column, flexion (anterior flexion) is an anterior (forward) bending of the neck or body, while extension involves a posterior-directed motion, such as straightening from a flexed position or bending backward.
20 Ιουλ 2023 · Flexion, or bending, involves decreasing the angle between the two entities taking part in the movement (bones or body parts). In contrast, extension , or straightening, involves increasing the respective angle.
25 Σεπ 2024 · Flexion and extension are movements that take place within the sagittal plane and involve anterior or posterior movements of the trunk or limbs. In the limbs, flexion decreases the angle between the bones (bending of the joint), while extension increases the angle and straightens the joint.
In the limbs, flexion decreases the angle between the bones (bending of the joint), while extension increases the angle and straightens the joint. For the upper limb, all anterior-going motions are flexion and all posterior-going motions are extension.
Plantar flexion or plantarflexion is the movement which decreases the angle between the sole of the foot and the back of the leg; for example, the movement when depressing a car pedal or standing on tiptoes.
24 Μαρ 2019 · Flexion and extension. When talking about flexion and extension, we are usually referring to these movements as they occur about the coronal axis, and along the sagittal plane. Flexion refers to decreasing a joint angle, and extension to increasing the joint angle back to resting anatomical position.
