| motion perception | The real or apparent movement of objects through the visual field. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| motion pictures | The art, technique, or business of producing motion pictures for entertainment, propaganda, or instruction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| motion sickness | <neurology> A disturbance of the inner ear that is caused by repeated motion (for example sea sickness, car sickness). Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting and vertigo. (27 Sep 1997) |
| motion therapy, continuous passive | Movement of a body part initiated and maintained by a mechanical or electrical device to restore normal range of motion to joints, muscles, or tendons after surgery, prosthesis implantation, contracture flexion, or long immobilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| continuous passive motion | A technique in which a joint, usually the knee, is moved constantly in a mechanical splint to prevent stiffness and to increase the range of motion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| space motion sickness | Disorder characterised by nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, possibly in response to vestibular disorientation or fluid shifts associated with space flight. (12 Dec 1998) |
| drift motion | <radiobiology> Ordinarily particles placed in a magnetic field will simply orbit in circles, but if the magnetic field is not uniform, or curves, or there is an electrical field perpendicular to the magnetic field, or another force is applied perpendicular to the magnetic field, then the guiding centres of the particle orbits will drift (generally perpendicular to the magnetic field and to the applied force). (09 Oct 1997) |
| time and motion studies | The observation and analysis of movements in a task with an emphasis on the amount of time required to perform the task. (12 Dec 1998) |
| equations of motion | <radiobiology> Set of equations describing the time evolution of the variables which describe the state of a physical system. (09 Oct 1997) |
| excito-motion | <physiology> Motion excited by reflex nerves. See Excito-motory. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| acromial articular facies of clavicle | Synonym: acromial articular surface of clavicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial articular surface of clavicle | A small oval facet on the lateral end of the clavicle for articulation with the acromion. Synonym: facies articularis acromialis claviculae, acromial articular facies of clavicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior talar articular surface of calcaneus | Underlies the head of the talus and contributes to the talocalcaneonavicular joint. Synonym: facies articularis talaris anterior calcanei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular | <orthopaedics, rheumatology> Of or pertaining to a joint. Origin: L. Articularis (18 Nov 1997) |
| articular branches | Branches distributed to joints. Almost any vessel related to a joint will supply articular rami. Most joints receive articular branches from the intramuscular branches of the motor nerves innervating the muscles crossing the joint (see Hilton's law). at this printing, Nomina Anatomica, however, specifically recognises only the articular branches of the descending genicular artery, ramus articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis; supplying the knee joint. Synonym: rami articulares, joint branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
