(subclass Flexion BodyMotion) Mid-level-ontology.kif 12048-12048 Flexion is a subclass of body motion
(documentation Flexion EnglishLanguage "Flexion describes a bending movement that decreases the angle between a segment and its proximal segment. For example, bending the elbow, or clenching a hand into a fist, are examples of flexion. When a person is sitting down, the knees are flexed. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, flexion is movement in the anterior direction. When the chin is against the chest, the head is flexed, and the trunk is flexed when a person leans forward. Flexion of the shoulder or hip is movement of the arm or leg forward.[from Wikipedia]") Mid-level-ontology.kif 12050-12058 Flexion is a subclass of body motion
