German term

vorendgradig

German to English Medical Medical (general) Diagnose
Part of a diagnosis of the functionality of the upper limbs:

Vorendgradige eingeschränkte Dorsalflexion rechtes Handgelenk

The source text is very likely in Austrian German, but I still can't find the word "vorendgradig" anywhere, neither in dictionaries nor on the internet.

Thanks for your help.
Proposed translations (English)

Anne Schulz May 5, 2011:
endgradig = am Ende des Bewegungsumfangs, vorendgradig = schon (kurz) vor dem Endbereich des Bewegungsumfangs = etwas mehr als endgradig --- wäre meine Interpretation, aber auf Englisch kann man das wohl nur umschreiben, weil es da mW noch nicht einmal ein Wort für 'endgradig' gibt - geschweige denn für 'vorendgradig'.
David Tracey, PhD May 5, 2011:
Combine: Gisela's and lirka's to "limited extent of dorsiflexion"
Bernd Runge May 4, 2011:
Tautologisch eine eingeschränkte Dorsalflexion ist wohl immer vorendgradig, also vor Erreichen des (üblichen) Endgrads zu Ende - meint jedenfalls der Nichtmediziner ;-)

limited range of motion

As already pointed out, it's a limitation of the wrist's range of motion. Just sticking with "limited range of motion" is just as nonspecific as the silly "vorendgradig", which simply reiterates that the full range of motion of the wrist is limited, without stating by how much.

slightly

It is related to the range of motion and qualifies the adjective "limited". It seems to suggest that the patient can flex the wrist backwards but not quite to the full extent (compared to the patient's left wrist?)
Example sentence:

slightly limited dorsiflexion of the right wrist
