[Objective]
We examined whether unilateral acupuncture stimulation on the acupoint ‘Kenkobanten’ located below the axillary region increased the range of motion of the opposite hip external rotation and raised skin temperature at the hips and thighs.
Are 'axilla' and 'axillary region' different in meaning and in this case is 'axillary region' appropriate?
Thank you.

Anatomically they both define the same location
below the axillary region vs below axila
Anatomically they both define the same location. The later uses less words, and I think it is better.
I personally think that in scientific articles redundancy should be avoided, precise and concise wording should convey the observation(s).
