Each day you will bend your knee. The physical therapist will help you find the best method to increase the bending (flexion) of your knee. Every day you should be able to flex it a little further.

Flexion-distraction fractures (seatbelt injury, lap belt injury, Chance fracture) involve the separation (distraction) of the fractured vertebra, and are caused by hyperflexion during the traumatic event.

In general, bending of hinge joints. In the upper limb, it is movement in the anterior direction in a sagittal plane. In the case of the thumb, it is movement in the ulnar direction in the plane of the palm.

Leg Cross Flexion-Extension reflex - When touching the center of the infant’s foot with your finger, the opposite leg should first flex with abduction, then adduct, and lastly fully extend.

During the flexion that occurs with sitting, intradiscal pressure is greatest and the disc exerts pressure on the thinnest, least supported area of the supporting ligament known as the annulus fibrosus. As a result, the disc can herniate.

Hip held in flexion, abduction, and external rotation (like arthritis of the hip)
Hip extension and internal rotation (stretches the iliopsoas muscle) may cause increased pain.

In iniencephaly, the defect results in extreme retroflexion (backward bending) of the head combined with severe distortion of the spine.

The ankle is a "hinged" joint capable of moving the foot in two primary directions: away from the body (plantar flexion) and toward the body (dorsiflexion). It is formed by the meeting of three bones.

extension of the great toe and abduction of the other toes instead of the normal flexion reflex to plantar stimulation, considered indicative of corticospinal tract involvement ('positive' Babinski);

Other fingers may also be abnormally short (brachydactyly) and joints between certain bones of the fingers (proximal interphalangeal joints) may become fused (symphalangism), causing limited flexion and restricted movement of the finger joints.

Common findings in CMT are loss of the muscle stretch reflexes (especially the ankle jerks), and weakness with lifting the feet (ankle dorsiflexion) and bringing the thumb upwards (thumb abduction).

Hammer toes: Changes in the tissues around the toe joints cause abnormal bending (flexion).
Hallux valgus/bunion: Changes in the tissues around the big toe joint cause it to bend toward the little toe and develop a bony enlargement.

Psoriasis, flexural: A form of psoriasis found in the armpits, groin, under the breasts and in other flexion creases (skin folds) such as those around the genitals and buttocks.

Foot drop is a condition in which normal dorsiflexion, the bending of the ankle and toes upwards, is not possible, leading to a characteristic labored gait called steppage gait. Foot drop is treated by addressing the underlying condition.

Lesions of the deep peroneal nerve are associated with PARALYSIS of dorsiflexion of the ankle and toes and loss of sensation from the web space between the first and second toe.

Definition Mallet finger refers to the involuntary flexion of the distal phalanx of a finger caused by the disruption or tearing of its extensor tendon.

The most common cause of a mallet finger is when the tip of a finger is forcibly jammed into flexion or hit against a solid object. It occurs often in sports, such as baseball and basketball, when a ball hits the end of an extended finger.

Decorticate posture is an abnormal posturing that involves rigidity, flexion of the arms, clenched fists, and extended legs. The arms are bent inward toward the body with the wrists and fingers bent and held on the chest.

Strong lines (called palmar flexion creases) appear on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The palm normally has three of these creases. But sometimes, the horizontal creases join together to form a single one.

This condition is caused by excessive flexion and extension of the low back. X-rays show that a part of one vertebra in the low back slips forward on the vertebrae below it. It is commonly seen in football linemen, gymnasts, and ice skaters.

They may include icing the back a number of times during the day, walking a couple of times a day, and completing a series of hip flexion and pelvic exercises.

Single Flexion furrow of the fifth finger is also normally present. Some other physical Down Syndrome symptoms include the appearance of a wider face and neck, which is a common facial appearance that is associated with this disorder.

The loads transmitted across the knee vary according to complex factors, such as the dynamic center of gravity, rate of load application, and angles of flexion and rotation.
