Sentences with phrase «flexion function»

Lying leg curls work the hams more directly and with a more concentrated contraction than any other exercise, and they are especially important for training the knee flexion function of the muscle.

The leg curls, you guessed it, utilize the knee flexion function of the hamstrings.

The hamstrings cross two joints — the knee joint and the hip joint — so they need to be trained with the help of exercises that target the knee flexion function and the hip extension function of the hamstring muscle separately.

Not exact matches

Identify the normal reflex patterns for latching and how the reflexes for flexion, extension and head control provide stability for these to function and develop.

Taking models of galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) and applying a correction for the HUDF point spread function we generate lensed simulations of deep, opti... ▽ More We present a simulation analysis of weak gravitational lensing flexion and shear measurement using shapelet decomposition, and identify differences between flexion and shear measurement noise in deep survey data.

We provide simple power law fitting functions for this behaviour, for both flexion and shear, allowing the effect to be properly accounted for in future forecasts for flexion measurement.

The forearm is a very visible muscle group, comprised of many smaller muscles with different functions, such as generating the actions of the hand and fingers, wrist flexion and extension, and much more.

This is a very important muscle group for athletes though, because it performs multiple functions crucial for explosive strength, such as knee flexion and hip extension.

This is because all horizontal and vertical pressing exercises involve extension of the elbow (the primary function of the triceps) while all horizontal and vertical pulling exercises involve flexion of the elbow (the primary function of the biceps).

The function of the lats include extension, adduction, horizontal adduction, flexion, and internal rotation of the shoulder joint.

This exercise trains the hamstrings» two functions simultaneously — hip extension and knee flexion — like few other exercises can.

Owing to their attachment sites and location the calf muscles function primarily to perform plantar - flexion, which can be investigated by both electromyography (EMG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.

The origins of the gastrocnemius (medial and lateral heads) are such that the two heads cross both the knee and ankle joint and consequently function as both an ankle extensor (plantar - flexion) and as an accessory knee flexor and stabiliser.

The joint should be assessed in both hip flexion and extension as the change in position affects muscle function of some of the prime movers here — namely gluteus minimus and piriformis, which switch between internally and externally rotating the hip, depending on the degree of flexion the joint is in.

The soleus and gastrocnemius work in tandem to carry out the function of plantar flexion.

The function of this muscle is plantar flexion (elevating the heel).

The hamstrings have two major functions... knee flexion (which is the better known «leg curl» type of movement) and hip extension (which is bringing the thigh backwards).

Insertion: calcaneus (posterior tuberosity) Main functions: flexion of the sole of the foot (more isolated when the knee is flexed), flexion of the knee and supination of the foot.

These figures indicate that the pectoralis major (clavicular head) functions as a primary shoulder flexor between 25 and 120 degrees of shoulder flexion, with its greatest contribution to shoulder flexion occurring towards 120 degrees (arms above the head).

The primary function of the muscles surrounding the knee is to provide flexion and extension of the joint; it also has the capability for slight rotation, but this is very minimal and normally not discussed in most text.

Finally, the posterior deltoid functions very differently from the anterior deltoid during shoulder flexion.

The initial goals of physical therapy should be to increase the passive flexion of the foot and improve flexibility in the foot and ankle, eventually leading to a full return to normal function.
