Flexion in relation to a joint involves what type of movement?

  1. Increase the angle of the joint

  2. Maintain the angle of the joint

  3. Decrease the angle of the joint

  4. Rotate the joint

The correct answer is: Decrease the angle of the joint

Flexion is defined as a movement that decreases the angle between two body parts at a joint. This action typically occurs in various joints such as the elbow, knee, and shoulder. When flexion takes place, the bones that come together at the joint move closer to each other, resulting in a smaller angle. This is particularly observable when bending a limb; for example, when you bend your arm at the elbow, you are performing flexion, leading to a decrease in the angle formed at that joint. This understanding of joint movements is essential in various physical training and rehabilitation contexts, ensuring that exercises are performed safely and effectively.
