Sentence examples for small flexion from inspiring English sources
The device consists of an Arduino microcontroller mounted to a glove with small flexion sensors, and it works alongside a smartphone app that suggests thoughts as the user sleeps.
The simulation showed that the contact pressure is within the safety range only for very small flexion angles.
Although, some surgeons may say that it is useful to partially release the PCL in cases of a small flexion gap in CR TKR, there is a limitation.
In cases of small flexion gaps due to a tight PCL, it is necessary to diminish the femoral component size with a CR component.
Using a CR component, in the case of a small flexion gap a smaller femoral component is sufficient to create an appropriate flexion space, but it leads to undesirable reduction of a posterior condylar offset.
Conversely, the use of a CR component in the case of a small flexion gap requires a femoral component smaller than the measured size to optimise the flexion gap, compared with the extension gap.
This is due to the bigger muscle mass in the contralateral limb, filling the angle between the femur and tibia and therefore limiting movement, giving a smaller flexion value.
The smaller flexion movement of the hip during GMs could be a restriction due to the limited length of the two-joint hamstring muscles in the extended knee position.
In general, KOA subjects walk at a slower speed and cadence, with a prolonged stance phase, presenting a static and dynamic varus alignment, showing smaller flexion and greater knee adduction moment (KAM) [ 12, 34, 120, 121].
Fok et al. [ 39] observed that there is a greater anterior pelvic inclination and a smaller flexion angle, and lower knee extension time in both stair ascent and descent.
The result indicated that the internal tibial rotation increased sharply at low flexion angles (full extension to 30°), maintained a small variation in the middle range of flexion (30 120°, and then sharply increased again at high flexion angles (120° to maximal flexion).
