Sentence examples for flexion stiffness from inspiring English sources

The normalized terminal plantar flexion stiffness also increased (p≤0.047), suggesting that biarticular posterior elastic structures are pre-strained and still under tension when the ankle is maximally plantar flexed and the knee is positioned at 60° of flexion.

The ankle position in which the net passive moment was equal to zero was shifted to more plantar flexed positions (p<0.001) and there was a global increase in ankle stiffness since both passive dorsiflexion stiffness (p≤0.037) and passive plantar flexion stiffness (p≤0.029) increased.

Concurrently, the polyaxial screws group presented higher compression and flexion stiffness than the monoaxial screws group under a wide range of sagittal angulations.

In the constructs linked with 21° lordotic rod contours, the polyaxial screws group had about 50% more flexion stiffness compared to the monoaxial screws group.

In the polyaxial screws group supported with a cage, the flexion stiffness of the constructs was not altered by the four different lordotic configurations.

2) polyaxial screws rather than monoaxial screws combined with an interbody cage fixation provide higher compression and flexion stiffness in 21° segmental lordosis; 3) polyaxial screws enhance the contact ratio of the interbody cage in 21° segmental lordosis.

Patients with ankylosing spondylitis can present tremendous challenges to the anesthesiologists owing to fusion of the cervical spine in flexion and stiffness of the temporomandibular joint [ 1].

To test to what extent the same results were obtained for NZ magnitude and NZ stiffness from flexion-extension and extension-flexion curves, the data were compared by means of paired t-tests and in addition the intra-class correlation (ICC) between these observations was determined.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of lumbar rotational manipulation and lumbar central posteroanterior mobilization on lumbar bending stiffness and flexion and extension range of motion (ROM).

The main clinical manifestations of adhesions in the suprapatellar pouch are pain, stiffness, and flexion contractures (Jerosch and Aldawoudy 2007; Millett and Steadman 2001; Fitzsimmons et al. 2010; Diduch et al. 1997; Schiavone Panni et al. 2009).

Both study groups revealed similar stiffness in flexion.
