Flexioonis
Flexioonis is a Finnish term used in anatomy and medicine to describe the state or action of flexion, which is the bending of a joint that reduces the angle between adjacent bones. In practice, flexion is typically contrasted with extension, the straightening movement that increases the angle. Flexion occurs in many joints and is a common focus in clinical assessment, sports, and rehabilitation.
In biomechanical terms, flexion usually takes place in the sagittal plane. Common examples include elbow flexion
Measurement and clinical relevance: Healthcare professionals assess flexion as part of the joint’s range of motion
Applications and considerations: Proper management of flexion includes avoiding excessive or hyperflexion that could stress ligaments,
