DEF

A test done during [a] physical examination to determine whether a patient with low back pain has an underlying herniated disk, often located at L5 (fifth lumbar spinal nerve).

CONT

When performing the straight leg raise test the patient is positioned supine in the absence of pillows. The clinician lifts the patient's symptomatic leg by the posterior ankle while keeping the knee in a fully extended position. The clinician continues to lift the patient's leg by flexing at the hip until pain is illicited or end range is reached. Neurologic pain which is reproduced in the leg and low back between 30-70 degrees of hip flexion is a positive result of lumbar disc herniation at the L4-S1 nerve roots. In order to make this test more specific, the ankle can be dorsiflexed and the cervical spine flexed. This increases the stretching of the nerve root and dura.

CONT

Le test d’élévation de la jambe tendue est un signe essentiel de hernie discale. [Le patient est allongé sur le dos et l'opérateur soulève la jambe tendue.] Ainsi, le genou est en extension pendant toute la manœuvre et l’opérateur pratique une flexion de hanche sans abduction, adduction et sans rotation. Le pied est laissé libre. Il s’agit donc d’une limitation douloureuse de la flexion de hanche. [...] On peut affirmer qu’il existe chez le sujet de moins de 50 ans une hernie discale, si l’EJT est positif. Par contre si l’EJT est négatif, il peut exister une compression nerveuse (exemple : canal lombaire étroit).

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.

CONT

The MLG [main landing gear] retracts inwards into the fuselage wheel well. Each MLG has two doors. The outboard door is rigidly attached at the strut. The inboard door operates by mechanical linkage to the strut and is held in up position by two uplock cylinders. This uplock is released when landing gear lever is placed in down position by hydraulic pressure, or by nitrogen pressure in emergency. The MLG is held, while airborne, in retracted position by hydraulic pressure in the actuator and by the inboard door mechanical uplock, if pressure drops. As the gear is extended, an internal lock in the actuator automatically locks it in fully extended positions.

La séquence d'extension/rétraction des trains est conditionnée par la position du levier de commande «rentrée/sortie» des trains et par la réponse des détecteurs de positions du train et des trappes. Elle commande successivement l'ouverture des trappes, le déverrouillage du train, l'extension du train, le verrouillage du train en position basse, puis la fermeture des trappes principales (et inversement lors de la rétraction).

L'enchaînement de la phase principale du lancer avec les autres phases du lancer va donner le rythme typique du geste spécifique de la discipline et doit être travaillé aussi tôt que possible.

CONT

Dans la technique «Russe», le javelot est ramené à hauteur de la tête avec un mouvement circulaire du bras allongé vers le haut et l'arrière. Après le placement se produit une accélération supplémentaire entre la seconde et la 3e foulée avec un enchaînement rapide des appuis Droit-Gauche et pose des pieds à plat. L'impulsion des appuis permet au haut du corps de rester incliné en arrière.

CONT

The effect of good and bad posture can be very simply demonstrated by the following example, "The Wrist Test". When the wrist is held in the neutral position, a moderate blow can be applied to the palm of the hand without causing pain and discomfort. When the wrist is in the neutral position, it can absorb the force best. However, if the blow is applied to the wrist when it is fully extended up or down, the wrist is a poor shock absorber, and is most vulnerable to stress and injury.
