Flexor digitorum superficialis ( flexor digitorum sublimis ) is an extrinsic flexor muscle of the fingers at the proximal interphalangeal joints.

These are situated at the proximal end of the bone, that is the end that connects with the scapula.

Two weeks after my diagnosis, a biopsy confirmed I had a seven inch osteosarcoma in my left femur.

Vygotsky introduced the notion of zone of proximal development, an innovative metaphor capable of describing the potential of human cognitive development.

Vygotsky (1978) referred to this as the Zone of Proximal Development and believed that fostering development within this zone leads to the most rapid development.

Schwarzenegger tripped over his ski pole and broke his right femur while skiing in Sun Valley, Idaho, with his family on December 23, 2006.

coxae ), is the joint between the femur and acetabulum of the pelvis and its primary function is to support the weight of the body in both static (e.g.

Because changes in shape of the femur naturally affects the knee, coxa valga is often combined with genu varum (bow leggedness), while coxa vara leads to genu valgum (knock knees).

It is a form of a THR, however in this procedure, only the head of the femur is removed as opposed to a THR in which the entire neck is removed.

Usually the hip (head of the femur), lower back (lumbar spine) or heel (calcaneum) are imaged, and the bone density (amount of calcium) is determined and given a number (a T score).

However, unlike Piaget, he claimed that timely and sensitive intervention by adults when a child is on the edge of learning a new task (called the zone of proximal development) could help children learn new tasks.

And then I had a 15 hour surgery in which my surgeon, Dr. John Healey at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York, took out my left femur and replaced it with titanium.

The genes that lead to the production of the human and chimpanzee femur may be 98 99 identical, but it is impossible to say whether the bones themselves are more or less similar than that.

I broke my left femur that day it's the largest bone in your body and spent the next two months in a body cast that went from my chin to the tip of my toe to my right knee, and a steel bar went from my right knee to my left ankle.
