Flexion of a joint is a decrease in the joint angle from the body in anatomic position. When the elbow is bent the forearm is flexed which means that the flexor is contracted or has pulled the bone. Extension of the joint is when the joint is returned to anatomic position or increased the angle of joint which means the extensor is contracted.
