Question 1: 229995003 Half across bend arm position (finding) versus 229994004 Across bend arm position (finding)

We wonder what the difference is between the ''across bend arm position'' and ''half' across arm bend (position). The concept may refer to the degree with which the arm is bent, and to the shoulder position. Although we can translate these concepts into Dutch, the underlying concept/position is not really clear to us. We now contrasted both concepts with clearly bent versus somewhat bent arm position in Dutch. http://physicalculture.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/APPENDIX-7-Glossary.pdf

Question 2: 229987002 Half grasp arm position (finding)

With respect to concept 229987002, we are in doubt whether this position refers to either a grasping position with 1 hand or arm, or rather a position where a patient is supported (by another) with one grasped arm, for instance in assisting a patient after a CVA with walking. The latter position is described in the following paper: , https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1471-2474-15-261. https://chestofbooks.com/health/body/massage/Massage-And-Medical-Gymnastics/Positions-derived-from-Standing-by-changing-the-Position-of.html
