Life extension Life extension science, also known as anti-aging medicine, indefinite life extension, experimental gerontology, and biomedical gerontology, is the study of slowing down or reversing the processes of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan.

- When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, flexion refers to movement in the anterior direction. Flexion of the shoulder or hip refers to movement of the arm or leg forward. Extension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts.When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, extension refers to movement in the posterior direction. For example, when standing up, the knees are extended.ronation and supination refer to rotation of the forearm or foot so that in the anatomical position the palm or sole is facing anteriorly (supination) or posteriorly (pronation). Pronation at the forearm is a rotational movement where the hand and upper arm are turned inwards.

mobilization joint mobilization passive movement of a joint to restore motion or relieve pain. Small oscillatory motions that do not stretch the capsular or other soft tissue structures are often used for reducing pain, while larger (grade III or IV) oscillatory or sustained motions are used to stretch structures and restore accessory or joint play motions.

Summary Extension occurs when the angle between two adjacent segments in the body increases as the ventral surfaces of the segments move away from each other and occurs in a sagittal plan about a frontal axis. An exception is extension of the thumb, which takes place in a frontal plane about a sagittal axis. Flexion occurs when the angle between two adjacent segments in the body decreases as the ventral surfaces of the segments approximate each other and occurs in a sagittal plane about a frontal axis. An exception is flexion of the thumb, which takes place in a frontal plane about a sagittal axis.

Joint Actions & Planes of Movement Is movement of a body segment away from the midline of the body. Adduction: Is movement of a body segment toward the midline of the body. Circumduction: This is a movement where the joint is the pivot and the body segment moves in a combination of flexion, extension, adduction and abduction.Protraction: This is forward movement of the scapula that results in ‘hunching’ of the shoulders.his is a movement where the joint is the pivot and the body segment moves in a combination of flexion, extension, adduction and abduction.

Types of Body Movements For the vertebral column, flexion (anterior flexion) is an anterior (forward) bending of the neck or body, while extension involves a posterior-directed motion, such as straightening from a flexed position or bending backward. Lateral flexion is the bending of the neck or body toward the right or left side.

Anatomical terms of motion For example, bending the elbow, or clenching a hand into a fist, are examples of flexion. When sitting down, the knees are flexed. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, flexion refers to movement in the anterior direction. Flexion of the shoulder or hip refers to movement of the arm or leg forward. Extension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, extension refers to movement in the posterior direction.

Hip Extension and Abduction Dysfunction There is a specific pattern to the sequence of muscle activation involved during joint movement. Two specific patterns to be discussed are Hip Extension and Hip Abduction(1). Hip extension and hip abduction movement patterns involve specific muscles.he three muscles are the gluteus maximus(primary mover/agonist), biceps femoris(synergist) and erector spinae(synergist). Any deviation from the specific muscle activation is considered an altered movement pattern. This will cause hip extension dysfunction, muscle imbalance, pain and contribute to changes in posture.

Movement and Muscles at the Shoulder flexion and extension Movement and Muscles at the Shoulder flexion and extension. It's another good thing that I got Biggie for these pictures, because flexion and extension are movements in the sagittal plane—i.e., from front to back. So in a drawing they're like 3-D, like coming out at you, and that's a bit beyond me to draw.f muscles in the back contract, they pull your arm back. What exercises make these muscles work? Pushups, pullups, rope climbing and throwing flex and extend the upper arms to work your anterior deltoid, coracobrachialis and pectoralis major, and your posterior deltoid, teres major and latissiumus dorsi.

- Abduction is a movement of a body part away from the median plane of the body (think someone raising their leg or arm away from their side). Adduction is just the opposite, meaning movement of a body part toward the median plane of the body.

Anatomical Terms of Movement For example, abduction of the shoulder raises the arms out to the sides of the body. Adduction is a movement towards the midline. Adduction of the hip squeezes the legs together. In fingers and toes, the midline used is not the midline of the body, but of the hand and foot respectively.Therefore, abducting the fingers spreads them out.bduction and Adduction. Abduction and adduction are two terms that are used to describe movements towards or away from the midline of the body. Abduction is a movement away from the midline – just as abducting someone is to take them away.

Planes of Movement In the videos above, shoulder flexion is the action of raising the arm above the head. Extension is then the downward movement. In the photo, the shoulder is in an extended position. For the knee, bending the knee is flexion, as the angle is reduced (as shown in the picture) and straightening it is called extension.

Anatomy and Physiology- muscle movements Pronation- A form of medial rotation characterized by the turning of the palm of the hand to face downwards or backwards. Abduction and Adduction. Abduction- Is any movement that takes a body part away from the midline of the body. Adduction- involves the movement of a body part towards the midline of the body. Dorsiflexion-characterised by the pointing of the toes up. Plantar flexion- is unique to the ankle joint and is characterised by the pointing of the toes.
