English term

fixed in rotation

English Tech/Engineering Medical: Instruments
an adapter for a prosthetic limb
"This device is fixed in rotation, but provides shift along the sagittal plane"

Does it mean that the device does not rotate or it rotates to a limited extent or something else?

@ Asker yes, that makes sense
Ewa Dabrowska (asker) Mar 1, 2021:
Apparently it means that the range of movement is limited.

I can see why you posted this, because it's not immediately clear. Several of the hits I found were translations from French and other languages. My guess would be "unable to rotate".

I think it means "does not rotate".
