Sentences with phrase «in full flexion»

It is suggested that this works due to the ability of the exercise to increase the peak eccentric force of the hamstrings at shallower angles of knee flexion (the knee is more extended) vs. a leg curl which puts a premium on concentric force when the knee is in full flexion.

Not exact matches

Positioning that promotes physiological flexion can go a long way in helping premature babies to develop the strength and tone they need to do what full term babies do.

In agreement, Reid et al. (2011) compared eccentric plantar flexion with the knee fully extended and during a flexed position and reported superior gastrocnemius muscle activity during plantar flexion with full knee extension and no difference in soleus muscle activitIn agreement, Reid et al. (2011) compared eccentric plantar flexion with the knee fully extended and during a flexed position and reported superior gastrocnemius muscle activity during plantar flexion with full knee extension and no difference in soleus muscle activitin soleus muscle activity.

In most cases, people aren't coming down to a full 90 degrees of knee flexion, which is needed for getting in / out of a chaiIn most cases, people aren't coming down to a full 90 degrees of knee flexion, which is needed for getting in / out of a chaiin / out of a chair.

While you should still break parallel, it's not beneficial to reach the ATG depth like in the high bar squat (where the knees reach full flexion).

These ligaments are most effective at full extension (when you are standing straight) and full flexion (when the calves touch your thighs as in the ATG position of a high bar squat).

in most yoga we do less flexion / rounding of the lower back, we do a lot of hip hinging, lot of neutral spine in most of the poses, some extension when we do belly down back bends or bridge + as a result the lower back is not getting its full potential rom, as we are suppose to be able to flex the lower lumbar to about 40degrees, thoracic about 45 degrees.

It is a common problem in yoga poses — people lacking full flexion.

However, the adductor magnus displayed a much greater moment arm length in 90 degrees of hip flexion than in full hip extension, which may indicate that this muscle has an important contributory role to hip extension moment in this position.

They reported no difference in flexion action duration between partial ROM bench press compared with full ROM bench press despite a much shorter barbell displacement, while extension action duration was much shorter (76 %), though non-significant, during the partial ROM bench press.

Similarly, Fujisawa et al. (2014) found that hip flexion angle did not affect gluteus medius muscle activity when the knee was in full extension during isometric hip abduction.

The hamstrings displayed similar moment arm lengths in 90 degrees of hip flexion and full hip extension.

The moment arm length of the adductor magnus increases as hip flexion increases from full hip extension to 90 degrees of hip flexion, being largest in at least 90 degrees of hip flexion (partial squat).

Anteroposterior exercises involve greater forces closer to full hip extension, while axial exercises tend to produce greater forces in high degrees of hip flexion (Zweifel, 2017).

Fischer and Houtz (1968) also reported greater gluteus maximus EMG amplitude in full hip extension compared to greater degrees of hip flexion, during hip extension.

Gluteus maximus EMG amplitude is higher when muscle fibers are shorter (in full hip extension compared to flexion, in hip abduction compared to neutral, in hip external rotation compared to neutral, and in posterior pelvic tilt compared to anterior pelvic tilt).

Németh & Ohlsén (1984) performed a study of 10 cadavers and 20 live subjects, and reported that the hip extension moment arm length of the gluteus maximus moment arm of gluteus maximus decreased substantially from around 8 cm to 3 cm with increasing hip flexion angle, making the gluteus maximus far more effective as a hip extensor in full hip extension, than in full hip 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.
