An intraartucular extension is a type of fracture that protrudes into the articulating joint space. Simply, it is a fracture that involves the joint space.

Elbow flexion and extension occur in which plane?

Though flexion and extension can occur in a variety of planes depending on the body's position, if you have a body in anatomical position, then all flexion and extension occurs on the sagittal plane.


What is the normal range of motion for shoulder extension?

The normal range of motion for shoulder extension is typically between 50 to 60 degrees.


What is the opposite of hyper extension?

The opposite of hyperextension is flexion, which involves bending a joint to decrease the angle between two body parts. Hyperextension refers to the excessive straightening or extension beyond the normal range of motion.


What is the difference between the movements flexion and extension?

Flexion is the movement that decreases the angle between body parts, such as bending the elbow. Extension is the movement that increases the angle between body parts, like straightening the knee. Essentially, flexion brings body parts closer together while extension moves them further apart.


What are the differences between flexion and extension in terms of their impact on the body's range of motion and muscle activation?

Flexion and extension are movements that occur at joints in the body. Flexion decreases the angle between two body parts, while extension increases the angle. Flexion typically decreases the range of motion, while extension increases it. In terms of muscle activation, flexion usually activates muscles on the front side of the body, while extension activates muscles on the back side.
