In hip-joint disease the femur is slightly bent upon the abdomen, and somewhat adducted, and this occurs from the combined action of the flexors and adductors, which compels the thigh-bone to follow the mean direction of the two muscular forces.
Several nonstationary signals were also created, including a nonstationary chirp signal generated with LabVIEW programming software, a nonstationary computer generated surface EMG signal downloaded from the SENIAM project database, and a real surface EMG signal recorded from the biceps brachii during a concentric isokinetic muscle action of the forearm flexors at a velocity of 30° s−1.
In the sagittal plane the major impairment was found to be associated with the action of the dorsal flexors rather than the extensors of the ankle.
Thus, isometric muscle activity of the flexor muscles was produced.
These small variations in the actual position of the vannal fold, however, do not affect the unity of action of the vannal veins, controlled by the flexor sclerite (3Ax), in the flexion of the wing.
Further, over action of long flexor of thumb and underaction of long extensor cause flexion of the proximal interphalangeal joint, resulting in swan neck thumb deformity.
It has been argued before that pinch strength is a more precise measure of motor impairment in CTS as it relies to a greater extent on the median nerve innervated thenar muscles, whereas in power grip weakness can be masked by the synergistic action of long flexors [ 18].
The subjects were instructed to contract the elbow flexors maximally to resist the elbow extending action of the dynamometer for the whole range of motion.
Researchers gave each monkey a local anesthetic to temporarily block the function of the flexor nerves in its arm.
Repair of the flexor pollicis longus.
The goal of this study was to describe the distal flap perfusion of the flexor carpi radialis, with a direct comparison of the brachioradialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, and flexor carpi radialis muscle flaps for coverage around the elbow.
