Anatomical terms of movement are used to describe the actions of muscles upon the skeleton. Muscles contract to produce movement at joints, and the subsequent movements can be precisely described using this terminology.

Researchers have found there may be a link between hypermobility and gastrointestinal issues such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The symptoms of IBS are commonly found in joint hypermobility syndrome. Therefore, your healthcare provider may recommend an exclusion diet to test for an intolerance to certain food products. If whatever’s causing the intolerance is removed, your symptoms may resolve. Abduction is a movement away from the midline - just as abducting someone is to take them away. For example, abduction of the shoulder raises the arms out to the sides of the body. Low-FODMAP diet: A group of five sugars found in certain foods is removed from your diet. These sugars are lactose, fructose, fructans, galactans and polyols. FODMAP stands for fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols.

Global Standards Inversion involves the movement of the sole towards the median plane - so that the sole faces in a medial direction.If you scored four or more points and have had pain in four or more joints for at least three months, you may have joint hypermobility syndrome. We have our own professional researching, developing team and equipment, can design and manufacture as customers’ requirements. We have awarded four patents. Joint hypermobility is very common. Hypermobility means your joints can move beyond the normal range of motion. You may also hear the term double-jointed. This means your joints are very flexible. The most commonly affected joints are your elbows, wrists, fingers and knees. Ehase-Flex company located in Hangzhou, near Shanghai and Ningbo port, is one of the most famous brands in metal flexible joint and expansion joint.We founded our factory in China mainland in 2006. We are specialized in manufacturing flexible joint, expansion joint, flexible sprinkler hose, flexible tube, gas connector, rubber joint and spring mount.

We have customers such as SAMSUNG, LG, MIXC MALL, Hyatt hotel, Marriott Hotel. caption id="attachment_10385" align="aligncenter" width="303"] Fig 3 - Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion[/caption]

It is sometimes talked about as a circular motion, but is more accurately conical due to the 'cone' formed by the moving limb. Protraction and Retraction A pair of movements that are limited to humans and some great apes, these terms apply to the additional movements that the hand and thumb can perform in these species. Circumduction can be defined as a conical movement of a limb extending from the joint at which the movement is controlled. A steel and elastomer assembly having central through-passage equal to or greater in diameter than the riser bore that may be positioned in the riser string to reduce local bending stresses.Abduction and adduction are two terms that are used to describe movements towards or away from the midline of the body. Eversion involves the movement of the sole away from the median plane - so that the sole faces in a lateral direction. As a child, did you amuse your friends by contorting your body into strange shapes or could you do the splits?

Steel and elastomer assembly that has a central through-passage equal to or greater in diameter than the riser bore and that may be positioned in the riser string to reduce local bending stresses. Again, keeping the elbow and shoulder still, flip your hand onto its front, palm down. This is the prone position, and so this movement is named pronation. Marfan syndrome: A condition that affects your connective tissue. A defect in the gene responsible for building fibrillin and elastic fibers — a major part of your connective tissue — causes this syndrome. Elevation refers to movement in a superior direction (e.g. shoulder shrug), depression refers to movement in an inferior direction. Reposition is a movement that moves the thumb and the little finger away from each other, effectively reversing opposition. Circumduction

Protraction and Retraction

On some vehicles, manufacturers place the flexi section immediately before/after a catalytic converter or a DPF. These particular flexibles have to be replaced with a WELD ON flexi as there is no pipe to clamp on to. However, if your car has a flexible with enough straight pipe on each side, you can easily cut the old broken flexible and replace it with one of our CLAMP ON flexi joints.

Global Standards Lactose-free diet: Lactose is removed from your diet to see if you’re intolerant to dairy products. Flexion and extension are movements that occur in the sagittal plane. They refer to increasing and decreasing the angle between two body parts: Our Stainless 304 Exhaust Flexi are different to others, simply because our flexibles are 100% stainless steel. What you will find with some suppliers is that the flexi itself is stainless but the ends are mild steel, which as a result with only rust away eventually.

caption id="attachment_10383" align="aligncenter" width="714"] Fig 1 - Flexion and extension.[/caption] Dorsiflexion refers to flexion at the ankle, so that the foot points more superiorly. Dorsiflexion of the hand is a confusing term, and so is rarely used. The dorsum of the hand is the posterior surface, and so movement in that direction is extension . Therefore we can say that dorsiflexion of the wrist is the same as extension. Device(s) installed between the bottom of the diverter and the telescopic joint (upper flex or ball joint), in the top section of the LMRP (lower flex or ball joint), or under a keel joint (intermediate flex or ball joint, if used), to permit relative angular movement of the riser and reduce stresses due to vessel motion and environmental forces.

Dorsiflexion and Plantarflexion

Laminated metal and elastomer assembly, having a central through-passage equal to or greater in diameter than the interfacing pipe or tubing bore, that is positioned in the riser string to reduce the local bending stresses. Your healthcare provider may also ask you the five-point hypermobility questionnaire. The five questions asked are:
