se raidir Explanation: D'autres traductions de «take up the slack» sont : - combler le vide (laissé par qqn ou qqch) - compenser l'absence/la diminution de qqch mais je ne crois pas que ça s'applique ici. |

reprendre le jeu Explanation: Je crois que cette notion se dit ainsi dans le domaine technique, au moins... Et si j'ai bien compris, il ne s'agit pas du sens figuré ici... ? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-04-04 15:31:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On peut dire 'take up the slack in an organisation' et dans plusieurs sens figuré de ce genre. Mais il me semble bien, puisqu'on parle de 'patient' et d'immobiliser une partie de l'articulation' et 'techniques manipulatifs / de poussée' et 'avec force' qu'il s'agit bien d'un emploi plutôt technique -- le figuré serait complètement non-sens ici ! |

info Explanation: In treating taut periarticular ligaments, the recommended adjustive thrust is similar to that used for other types of fixations with essentially two differences: (1) the slack taken in the overlying tissues is less than with total fixations and even more so than with muscular fixations; The vertebral segment is then passively moved to its limit of motion or barrier to remove slack motion, and a small force, localized to the specifically identified joint, is applied to hold that position. http://www.emedicine.com/pmr/topic200.htm This balance can be maintained for some time, but creep in the soft tissue is apt to give enough slack after an interval, which will reflexly 'wake up' the 'guardian' internal obliques. http://paracelsusclinic.com/articles/display.asp?ID=52 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2006-04-04 23:47:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- allow some slack in the Muscle, which makes it easier to grasp the fibers. ... as well as being at least as efficient as HVLA thrust Techniques in ... www.techortho.com/pt/re/techortho/fulltext. 00013611-200303000-0013.htm;jsessionid=CWuOXfNPMQ5d6AovZG4eEv...
