Releases, Heel-Cord . Releases, Tendon . Tendon Lengthenings . Tendon Releases . Tenotomies . Surgical division of a tendon for relief of a deformity that is caused by congenital or acquired shortening of a muscle (Stedman, 27th ed). Tenotomy is performed in order to lengthen a muscle that has developed improperly, or become shortened and is resistant to stretching. . 0.34
Range of Motion, Articular. Joint Flexibility . Joint Range of Motion . Range of Motion . Flexibility, Joint . Passive Range of Motion . The distance and direction to which a bone joint can be extended. Range of motion is a function of the condition of the joints, muscles, and connective tissues involved. Joint flexibility can be improved through appropriate MUSCLE STRETCHING EXERCISES. . 0.33
