Flexor spasms involve flexion of the neck, trunk, and extremities. Extensor spasms consist of extension of the neck, trunk, and extremities
The obliquus externus, or external oblique muscle, is a key muscle in the abdominal wall. Its primary functions include aiding in the rotation and lateral flexion of the trunk, as well as providing support for the abdominal organs. Additionally, it plays a role in movements such as bending and twisting, and it assists in the processes of forced expiration and stabilizing the pelvis during movement. The muscle also contributes to trunk flexion when acting bilaterally.
Ligaments provide stability to a joint during both rest and movement. Excessive movements such as hyper-extension or hyper-flexion can be restricted by ligaments. Also, ligaments prevent movements in some directions.
The condyloid joint, also known as an ellipsoidal joint, has two degrees of freedom. This allows for movement in two planes: flexion and extension, as well as abduction and adduction. A common example of a condyloid joint is the wrist joint, which enables various movements while still providing stability.
The action of bending or the condition of being bent.
Mean postive FABER - (Flexion, Abduction, External Rotation) test
yes it is, when holding a weight your arm is extended/ extension, when performing a bicep curl your arm becomes contracted which mean flexion. hope that this helped!! :)
It is Flexion and Extension

Flexion (noun) = the action of bending or the condition of being bent, especially the bending of a limb or joint. "flexion of the fingers"
Elbow flexion, shoulder flexion and supination of the forearm.
The optimal angle for shoulder flexion when performing exercises that require 90 degree shoulder flexion is 30 degrees.
