Isometric contraction
Isometric contraction
– tension is developed within
muscle but joint angles remain
constant
– static contractions
– significant amount of tension may
be developed in muscle to
maintain joint angle in relatively
static or stable position
– may be used to prevent a body
segment from being moved by
external forces
• Isotonic contraction
developing tension to either cause or control
joint movement
– dynamic contractions
– the varying degrees of tension in muscles result in
joint angles changing
• Isotonic contractions are either concentric or
eccentric on basis of whether shortening or
lengthening occurs
Concentric contractions
– muscle develops tension as it
shortens
– occurs when muscle develops
enough force to overcome applied
resistance
– causes movement against gravity
or resistance
– described as being a positive
contraction
– force developed by the muscle is
greater than that of the resistance
– results in joint angle changing in
the direction of the applied
muscle force
– causes body part to move against
gravity or external forces
Eccentric contraction (muscle action)
– muscle lengthens under tension
– occurs when muscle gradually lessens in
tension to control the descent of
resistance
– weight or resistance overcomes muscle
contraction but not to the point that
muscle cannot control descending
movement
– controls movement with gravity or
resistance
– used to decelerate body segment movement – Some refer to this as a muscle action instead of a
contraction since the muscle is lengthening as
opposed to shortening
– described as a negative
contraction
– force developed by the muscle is
less than that of the resistance

Collateral ligaments
The primary function of the collateral ligaments is to limit excessive motion in the frontal plane.
A secondary function of the collateral ligaments is to limit the extremes of knee extension
In full knee extension (locked position), the MCL and posterior capsule provide resistance.
Full extension elongates the collateral ligaments by 20% (compared to the flexion).
A taut MCL is particular vulnerable to valgus stress.
meniscus (medial and lateral) function?
–Thicker on outside border & taper down very thin to inside border
–Can slip about slightly, but held in place by various small ligaments
–Medial meniscus -larger & more open Cappearance
–Lateral meniscus -closed Cconfiguration

•Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries
–not often injured
–mechanism of direct contact with an opponent or playing surface
•Tibial (medial) collateral ligament (MCL)
–maintains medial stability by resisting valgus forces or preventing knee from being abducted
–injuries occur commonly, particularly in contact or collision sports
–mechanism of teammate or opponent may fall against lateral aspect of knee or leg causing medial opening of knee joint & stress to medial ligamentous structures

–internal rotation 30 degrees occurs
–external rotation 45 degrees occurs
•Knee “screws home”, how and why?
to fully extend due to the shape of medial femoral condyle
–As knee approaches full extension tibia must externally rotate approximately 10 degrees to achieve proper alignment of tibial & femoral condyles
–In full extension
•close congruency of articular surfaces
•no appreciable rotation of knee
–During initial flexion from full extension
•knee “unlocks” by tibia rotating internally, to a degree, from its externally rotated position to achieve flexion
internal rotation of the knee will not occur unless the knee if flexed to _____ to >20-30 degrees or
20-30 degrees or >
what is the Q angle?
–Central line of pull for entire quadriceps runs from ASIS to the center of patella
–Line of pull of patella tendon runs from center of patella to center of tibial tuberosity
–Angle formed by the intersection of these two lines at the patella is the Q angle
–Normally, angle will be 15 degrees or less for males & 20 degrees or less in females
–Generally, females have higher angles due to a wider pelvis
–Higher Q angles generally predispose people in varying degrees to a variety of potential knee problems including lateral patellar subluxation or dislocation, patellar compression syndrome, chondromalacia, and ligamentous injuries
–For people with above normal Q angles, it is particularly important to maintain high levels of strength & endurance in vastus medialis so as to counteract lateral pull of vastus lateralis

Coupled thoracic motion
•There is a varying degree of coupled motion in the thoracic spine.
•These regional variations in movement coupling are probably due to the vertebral orientation within the kyphosis, the zygapophysial joint orientation, and the costal articulations.
•The movement of the thoraxinto right rotation is associated with posterior rotation of the ipsilateral ribs.
Explain the compressive load on the thoracic spine.
•The gravitational line falls anterior to the vertebral bodies, thereby increasing the axial load on the region.
•The compressive load on the thoracic spine increases caudally from 9% of body weight at T1 to 47% of body weight at T12.
•This is counter met by a progressive increase in vertebral body size, end-plate cross-sectional area, and bone content.
•About 76% of compressive load in the upper thoracic spine is transferred through the vertebral body/intervertebral (disc) complex.
Explain intradiscal pressure in the thoracic spine.
•In upright standing position, the intradiscal pressure is about 1 MPa in the middle thoracic spine (T6-7, T7-8), but only 0.9 MPa at T9-10, T10-11.
•So, due to the increased end-plate cross-sectional area, the intradiscal pressure actually decreases caudally.•The intradiscal pressure varies greatly with different positions/manoeuvres.
•Sitting upright does not alter the intradiscal pressure (from satnding upright), but lying on the side decreases the intradiscal pressure to about 0.3 MPa. Carrying weights (20 kg) increases the intradiscal pressures, but actually decreases when the person is 30º flexed (at the hips) -(opposite to the Lumbar Spine!)
•Rib movement occurs around a _____axis, which extends from the costo-vertebral joint towards the rib tubercle.

Lever Functions
•Magnify a force
•Increase speed and range of-motion (ROM)
•Balance torques

Shoulder complex Four joints?
Four joints
1. The scapulothoracic “joint”
2. The sternoclavicular joint
3. The acromioclavicular joint
4. The glenohumeral joint
Movements of the SC joint
•Elevation (45º)
•Depression (10º)
•Protraction (15-30º)
•Retraction (15-30º)
•Axial rotation (40-50º)
Stabilizing tissues of the AC joint:
-Superior and inferior AC joint capsular ligaments
-Deltoid and upper trapezius
-Coracoclavicular ligament
-Articular disc
Movements of the AC joint:
Sagittal plane rotation adjustments (10-30º)
Movements of the scapulothoracic joint
-Elevation (superior slide)
-Depression (inferior slide)
-Protraction (anterior-lateral slide)
-Retraction (medial slide)
-Upward rotation (inferior angle rotates supero-laterally)
-Downward rotation (inferior angle rotates infero-medially)
Stabilizing tissues of the GH joint:
•Rotator cuff muscles
•GH joint capsular ligaments
•Coracohumeral ligament
•Long head of biceps brachii
•Glenoid labrum
Movements of the GH joint
-Abduction and adduction (180º)
frontal vs. scapular plane (at 20 to 35º to the frontal plane)
-Flexion (120º) and extension (45-55º)
-Internal and external rotation
(usually associated with pro-and retraction of the scapula); (70º and 85º respectively)
Elevators of the scapulothoracic joint
-Upper trapezius (through postural support by maintaining shoulder in position)
-Levator scapulae-Rhomboids
Depressors of the scapulothoracic joint
-Lower trapezius
-Latissimus dorsi
-Pectoralis minor
-Subclavius(by depressionof the clavicle)
Protractors of the scapulothoracic joint
-Serratus anterior
Retractors of the scapulothoracic joint
-Middle trapezius
-Rhomboids
-Lower Trapezius and Rhomboids also haveRotary functions.
Abductors of the GH joint
-Anterior and middle deltoid
-Supraspinatus
-Coracobrachialis (arm elevation through flexion eg. Abduction in the scapular plane)
-Biceps (long head) (as for Coracobrachialis)
Upward rotation of the scapulothoracic joint
Combination of muscles:-Deltoid (as whole)
-Serratus anterior-Trapezius (all parts)
Upward rotation of the scapulothoracic joint
The lower fibers of serratus and upper and lower fibers of trapezius form a force couple that upwardly rotates the scapula.
The serratus anterior is the most effective upward rotator.
The serratus anterior muscle has gradual increase in amplitude throughout the entire ROM of abduction.
Upward rotation of the scapulothoracic joint
The supraspinatus is the primary initiatorof early abduction in association with upper trapezius which is especially active during this initiation, and then continues a gradual increase in activity (throughout abduction).
The upper trapezius elevates the clavicle during early phase while the lower trapezius is more actively performing scapular rotation during the late phase.
A weakserratus anterior muscle leads to:
-Retraction of scapula (scapular winging).
-Shoulder impingement (due to limited upward rotation of the scapula causing reduced space between subacromial space.
A paralysisof serratus anterior
(damage to long thoracic nerve):-Significant disruption in normal shoulder motion as the person cannot elevate the arm above 90º of abduction.
Internal rotation of the GH joint
-Subscapularis
-Pectoralis major
-Latissimus dorsi
-Teres major
-and Anterior deltoid
Produce 1.75 times greater isometric torque than the external rotators.
External rotation of the shoulder

-Infraspinatus
-Teres minor(SIT!)-Posterior deltoid
Produce the smallest isometric torque of any muscle group at the shoulder

Composition of cartilage?
•70-85% of weight is water (65-80% of the total weight).
•Water is most concentrated near the articular surface (80%)
•Decreases in a near-linear fashion with increasing depth (65% in the deep zone).
•The fluid contains free mobile cations Na+, K+ Ca++, which greatly influence mechanical behaviours of the cartilage
•The remainder is primarily proteoglycans (PGs) and collagen type II fibers.
mechanical behaviours of cartilage:
•Viscoelasticity
•Bi-phasic creep response in compression
•Stress-relaxation response under compression
•Permeability of articular cartilage
Articular cartilage has only a limited capacity for repair and regeneration, and if subjected to an abnormal range of stresses can quickly undergo total failure.
It is hypothesised that the following biomechanical factors relates to failure progression:
1. The magnitude of the imposed stress
2. The total number of sustained peaks
3. The changes in the intrinsic molecular and microscopic
structure of the collagen-PG matrix
4. The changes in the intrinsic mechanical property of the
tissue

•Is the movement of a joint in a specific direction through its range of motion, determined by the actionof the voluntary muscles
Passive Motion
•Is the movement of a joint in a specific direction through its range of motion, determined by its structural ligamentous integrity withoutvoluntary muscle activity.
The goal of Motion Palpation MP is to assess the:
•Quantity:How much does the joint move?
•Quality:How does the joint move through its ROM?
•Joint play:What is the quality of resistance (too much or too little)?
•End feel:At what point is the end feel encountered, what is the quality of resistance, and at what point does the motion stop?
•Symptoms:Changes in the amount or the location during assessment and motion?
Joint Play
•The qualitative evaluation of the joint’s resistance to movement when it is in a neutral or loose-packed position.
•It is the best opportunity to isolate the joint capsule from its periarticular muscles.
•Evaluated by a small magnitude, springing movement of the joint.
•Is the discrete, short-range movement of a joint independent of the action of voluntary muscles, determined by springing the joint in the neutral position
End Play / End Feel
•The qualitative assessment of the end play zone (EPZ).
•Evaluated by applying additional overpressure to the specific joint at the end range of passive movement.
•Characterised as a sense of increasing restriction towards first stop and a firmer resistance at its limits (second stop).
•Is the discrete, short-range movement of a joint independent of the action of voluntary muscles, determined by springing the joint at the limit of the passive range of motion (the end range).
End Feel
•Capsular
•Firm but giving
•Increasing resistance with increasing length
•Example: ext. Rotation of shoulder
•Abnormal: capsular fibrosis or adhesions leading to a capsular pattern
End Feel•Ligamentous
•Like capsular, but slightly firmer quality
•Example: knee extension
•Abnormal: abnormal resistance because of ligament shortening
End Feel
•Soft tissue approximation
•Giving / squeezing
•Results from approximation of soft tissue (painless)
•Example: Elbow flexion
•Abnormal: muscle hypertrophy, soft tissue swelling
End Feel•Bony
•Hard, non-giving
•Example: Elbow extension
•Abnormal: bony exostosis, articular hypertrophy
End Feel
•Muscular
•Firm, but giving
•Increases with elongation (not as stiff as capsular or ligamentous)
•Example: Hip flexion
•Abnormal: muscle hypertrophy or hypotrophy
End Feel•Muscle spasm
•Guarded, resisted by muscle contraction
•End feel cannot really be assessed
•Abnormal: protective muscle splinting as a result of joint injury/disease
End Feel
•Interarticular
•Bouncy, springing quality
•Abnormal: meniscal tear
End Feel•Empty
•Normal end feel resistance is missing, unusual give
•End feel is not encountered at normal point
•Abnormal: hypermobility or instability
Joint cavitation (audible release)
•ANormal joint.
•BLong axis distraction.
•CElastic recoil of capsule.
•DSudden increased volume decreases capsule tension.
•EStimulating high-threshold receptors.
•FGases coalesce into central area.
•Bursa•Bursa
–Fibrous, fluid-filled sac that reduces friction
–Located between bones, tendons, and other structures
•Subacromial bursa
–Bursa between acromion process and insertion of supraspinatus muscle
–17 muscles that contribute to scapula and shoulder joint movements are listed
–Major muscles
–Deltoid, trapezius, rhomboids, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, serratus anterior
–Rotator cuff (4 muscles surrounding shoulder joint)
¯Infraspinatus, supraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
•Sprain
•Subluxation
–Rupture of fibers of ligament

•Subluxation
•Ectopic calcification
–Rupture of fibers of ligament
–Partial dislocation
–Hardening of organic tissue through deposit of calcium salts in areas away from the normal sites
•Impingement syndrome
–Irritation of structures above shoulder joint
–Due to repeated compression between greater tuberosity and acromion process
•Carrying angle
–Angle between ulna and humerus with elbow extended
–10–20°
•Osteochondritis dissecans
–Inflammation of bone and cartilage resulting in splitting pieces of cartilage into the joint
