Flexion

Last updated on May 27, 2022

Is an upgoing movement from the front side or the sagittal plane facilitated by the pectorals, anterior deltoid, coracobrachialis and weakly by the biceps. A normal mobility of this movement which we generally refer to the range of motion is generally about 180 degrees.

Reduced ROM in flexion is often noticed when reaching for high shelves.
