Shape, shear and flexion: an analytic flexion formalism for realistic mass profiles [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009 Flexion is a non-linear gravitational lensing effect that arises from gradients in the convergence and shear across an image. We derive a formalism that describes non-linear gravitational lensing by a circularly symmetric lens in the thin-lens approximation.

Deltoid muscle contribution to shoulder flexion and abduction strength: an experimental approach. [PDF]
, 2021 BACKGROUND The rotator cuff (RC) and the deltoid muscle are 2 synergistic units that enable the functionally demanding movements of the shoulder. A number of biomechanical studies assume similar force contribution of the force couple (RC and deltoid ...

THE MORPHO-FUNCTIONAL PECULIARITIES OF THE SYNSARCOSIS MUSCLES IN RED SQUIRRELS [PDF]
Journal of Applied Life Sciences and Environment, 2022 In terrestrial species, body propulsion is mostly performed via the pelvic limbs. In semiaquatic species, both pairs of limbs are used in swimming and diving, whereas in arboreal species, the pelvic limbs are used to maintain body stability.

Superimposing hip extension on knee flexion evokes higher activation in biceps femoris than knee flexion alone [PDF]
, 2021 Hamstring muscle function during knee flexion has been linked to hamstring injury and performance. However, it is unclear whether knee flexion alone (KF) requires similar hamstring electromyography (EMG) activity pattern to simultaneous hip extension and

Do Osteochondroplasty Alone, Intertrochanteric Derotation Osteotomy, and Flexion-Derotation Osteotomy Improve Hip Flexion and Internal Rotation to Normal Range in Hips With Severe SCFE? - A 3D-CT Simulation Study. [PDF]
, 2023 BACKGROUND Severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) leads to femoroacetabular impingement and restricted hip motion. We investigated the improvement of impingement-free flexion and internal rotation (IR) in 90 degrees of flexion following a ...
