ekstansiyon

Ekstansiyon is a Turkish term used in technical language to denote the act or result of extending, lengthening, or expanding something. It is a loanword from the concept of extension and appears in various domains with domain-specific nuances.

In clinical contexts, ekstansiyon refers to the extension of a limb or joint. It is used to describe both the movement itself in examinations and therapy, and devices or procedures that produce or maintain extension, such as rehabilitation protocols aimed at restoring range of motion after injury or surgery.

In architecture and construction, ekstansiyon denotes the extension of a building or structure—an enlargement, an additional wing, or a subsequent phase of development.

In science and industry more generally, ekstansiyon can refer to the extension of processes, systems, or data sets—adding capacity, widening scope, or prolonging duration. The exact meaning depends on context and discipline, and Turkish texts may vary in spelling and usage.

Originating from Latin extensio through European languages, ekstansiyon is encountered in Turkish technical vocabulary, though it remains less common in everyday speech. Related concepts include genişletme (expansion) and uzatma (extension).
