Associative


Definition:

  • (a.) Having the quality of associating; tending or leading to association; as, the associative faculty.

Pulley


Definition:

  • (v. t.) A wheel with a broad rim, or grooved rim, for transmitting power from, or imparting power to, the different parts of machinery, or for changing the direction of motion, by means of a belt, cord, rope, or chain.
  • (b. t.) To raise or lift by means of a pulley.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The model consists of electrically stimulating the lower leg muscles to contract against a weighted pulley bar.
  • (2) The traumatic agent is the sudden extension while the finger is holding an object and the flexor digitorum profundus is strongly contracted: the tendon retracts and the stump can be found either at the distal pulley, at the bifurcation of the superficialis tendon, or in the palm of the hand.
  • (3) Nine tendons were repaired with each of four suture patterns: single-locking loop, double-locking loop, triple-locking loop, or three-loop pulley.

  • (7) The pulleys were studied in specific configurations to determine their effectiveness in transforming tendon excursion into finger flexion.
  • (8) Pulley advancement increased the tendon excursion required to flex this joint and thus the mechanical advantage at this joint, but only when the joint was partly flexed.
