FULL EXTENSION POSITION [8 records]

Record 1 2017-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
CONT

Jobe's Test. The arm is held in the scapular plane, not directly in front or out to the side, but at a comfortable angle, as if pouring out a can of pop(about 30 degrees from full extension). If holding the pouring position is painful it is because the greater tuberosity is being driven up against the acromion, a positive Jobe's test for impingement. At the same time, since this is a position of strength, push down on the arm to test for any weakness.

  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
CONT

Lachman test(drawer test with almost full extension) : The examiner grasps the distal thigh with one hand and the proximal lower leg with the other and pulls and pushes the lower leg forwards and backwards in relation to the thigh. Since, in this position of almost full extension, the patient is unable to prevent the drawer movement with his hamstrings, the test is particularly suitable for investigating a recently traumatized joint.

[...] normalement, il n'existe aucun mouvement de tiroir dans le genou. Toutefois, sans qu'il soit pathologique, le mouvement de tiroir peut exister chez les sujets laxes avec un recurvatum. Ce sont les ligaments croisés qui limitent et empêchent ce «tiroir» [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
CONT

A hip flexion deformity commonly occurs in diseases of the hip but is often overlooked. Unilateral flexion of the hip in the standing position reduces weight bearing on the involved side, and relaxes the joint capsule, causing less pain.... There is a hyperlordotic curve of the lumbar spine to compensate for lack of full hip extension.

Una contractura en flexión de la cadera puede deberse a varias causas, pero probablemente la más común es la artrosis. Los pacientes con una deformidad fija en flexión de la cadera no pueden extender completamente la articulación.

Subject field(s)
  • Physical Fitness Training and Bodybuilding
CONT

Stand with feet slightly wider than hip width apart and toes pointing out slightly. Squat down and grasp bar with a closed, pronated grip.... First pull phase : lift bar from floor by forcefully extending hips and knees.... Keep elbows fully extended(straight), head in a neutral position and shoulders over the bar. As bar raises, keep it as close to shins as possible. Transition(scoop) phase : as bar passes knees, thrust hips forward and slightly re-flex knees to avoid locking them.... Second pull phase : Forcefully and quickly extend hips and knees and plantar-flex ankles(stand on toes). Keep bar as close to body as possible.... Keep shoulders over bar and elbows extended(arms straight) as long as possible. When lower body joints reach full extension, rapidly shrug the shoulders upward, but do not let elbows flex yet. As shoulders reach their highest elevation, flex elbows to begin pulling body under bar. Continue to pull arms as high and as long as possible.... feet may lose contact with floor. Catch phase : after lower body has fully extended and bar reaches near maximal height, pull body under bar and rotate arms around and under bar. Simultaneously, hips and knees flex into a quarter squat position. Once arms are under bar, lift elbows to position the upper arms parallel to floor. Rack the bar across front of clavicles(collar bones) and anterior deltoids(front shoulder muscles).... Stand up by extending hips and knees to a fully erect position. Downward movement phase : lower bar by gradually reducing muscular tension of arms to allow a controlled descent of the bar to the thighs.... Squat down with the elbows fully extended until the bar touches the floor.

Any failure that inhibits the slat travel prior to full extension is clearly indicated on the slat monitor panel and flap/slat position indicator by the "no indication of slat extension" indicator.

OBS

slat: A slat is a movable auxiliary airfoil attached to the leading edge of the wing, which, when closed, falls within the original contour of the wing and which, when opened, forms a slat.

Record 6 2002-09-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Swimming
  • Physical Education, Coaching and Sport Psychology
DEF

An elementary and unschooled way of propelling oneself in the water : imperfect prone position, head out of the water facing straight ahead, arms alternately and nervously moving forward and backward under the water, away from the body and without a complete extension forward nor a full traction and pull along the body backward, legs beating in a bending-and-unbending motion of the knees rather than in an effective beat of the extended legs on the surface of the water.

OBS

The unschooled way a human propels himself through the water. Children’s paddling is often more chaotic, with the arms alternately clawing at the water to move forward; breathing is irregular, legs thrashing and inconsistent. A more mature dog paddle can be rhythmic and steady, but the arms never go out of the water and the head is never submerged. Thus the stroke closely resembles a dog moving through the water.

Domaine(s)

DEF

Nage élémentaire exécutée la tête hors de l'eau et le corps à-demi recroquevillé comme un chien. Les bras alternent, dans un mouvement court et rapide, sous l'eau, de l'épaule vers l'avant, mais sans s'étirer complètement alors que les jambes, de même, battent en alternance tout en demeurant partiellement fléchies.

OBS

Nage que la plupart des enfants réussissent instinctivement et qui, chez les adultes, sert d'exercice dans les entraînements en résistance.

OBS

On dit «nager en chien»; parfois, parlant objectivement, on dit «nage de chien».
