Hinge joints allow flexion and extension only. Flexion – bending a joint. This occurs when the angle of a joint decreases. For example, the elbow flexes when performing a biceps curl. The knee ...
Surface electromyographic recordings of the biceps and triceps brachii muscles were made during extension-flexion movements (90° amplitude) of the elbow joint. During the stretch phase ...
These are extension, flexion, lateral flexion, rotation and axial extension. Flexion involves bending the spine forward, while extension is arching it backward. Lateral flexion is side bending ...
“This includes extension, flexion, lateral flexion and rotation, all helping to decompress vertebrae and improve mobility.” Regular resistance-based exercise is fundamental to good bone health ...
