Here is the sentence - the word is the same in both blanks:


"__________-1 with the knee extended at the ankles is about 45-50 degrees of equinus, and __________-2 with the knee extended on both ankles is still over 20 degrees of equinus."


The word sounds like "Ferrar-1", or possibly "Perar-1".   Anyone know what this is?  I've looked everywhere!
