taimkeireyttä

English translation: Or other tightness?

14:07 Oct 26, 2017
Finnish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Physiotherapy
Finnish term or phrase: taimkeireyttä
The word occurs in a short medical report relating to a bone fractures and physiotherapy:
‘lihaskipua taimkeireyttä ei tule esiin’
“taim”, which appears to be an abbreviation, is used in one other sentence is in the report (e.g. Rangassa taim lantiossa ei murtumia)

I am stumped, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

typo?


Explanation:
I'm not specialized in medical, but that doesn't seem to be anything else than a typo, the correct word being 'tai', 'or' - "lihaskipua tai kireyttä" (another typo in 'keireyttä'), "rangassa tai lantiossa" being the correct forms, I assume.

agree  Tarja Karjalainen: yes, that would be my interpretation as well: taim = tai muuta (or other) and keireyttä is a typo for kireyttä.

  -> Yes, i think that as taim is repeated twice this is m standing for muuta ie other.
