I might say in ward rounds that "knee flexion is a contra-indication" but to my patient I will say "don't bend your knee." Each is a perfectly usable, understandable phrase in it's own environment.
Why "knee flexion is a contra-indication" rather than "is contra-indicated"? I'm asking from a position of the utmost ignorance, motivated by genuine curiosity.
