Lever Systems
1st class how made up and example? |
Force---Axis---Resistance
“See-saw” Example- OA joint |
|
Lever Systems
2nd class how made up and example? |
Force---Resistance---Axis
“Wheelbarrow” Example- brachioradialis as an elbow flexor with only the weight of the forearm / hand |
|
Lever Systems
3rd class how made up and example? |
Axis---Force---Resistance
“Man pushing a boat off a dock” Example: most joints of the body |
|
Mechanical Advantage
what is the formula? |
MA = Force/ Resistance
|
|
Mechanical Advantage
if F>R, the what can be said of the mechanical advantage? |
If the F>R than the mechanical advantage is high and therefore more efficient
|
|
Mechanical Advantage
if MA>1 then it is... if MA<1 then it is... |
IF MA>1, it is efficient, if MA<1, it is inefficient
|
|
Mechanical Advantage
what is the most efficient lever class system? |
the 2nd class lever systems
|
|
Torque
What is STRENGTH? |
Applying force to a lever arm to perform work
|
|
Torque
basic formula? |
force x perpendicular distance
Moment of force Easier as load gets closer to body |
|
Joint Motions
ROLL main idea and example? |
Example ball rolling on table, different point of ball and table are contacted at each point; if left unchecked the joint would dislocate
|
|
Joint Motions
SLIDE main idea and example? |
Translatory movement of joint to maintain joint congruency during roll
|
|
Joint Motions
SPIN main idea and example? |
Rotational movement of arthrokinematic segments
Example – screw home mechanism of knee |
|
SHEAR
what is it? |
any force that has the tendency to disrupt the joint; i.e. Take the 2 components of the joint away from one another or decrease the contact between the joint surfaces
|
|
COMPRESSION
what is it? |
forces that compress the 2 components of the joint; i.e.. Increase the contact between the 2 joint surfaces
|
|
OPEN KINETIC CHAIN EXERCISE
what is happening at the distal segment? |
Distal segment moves freely in space. Can be concentric and / or eccentric. may be only alternative if patient is NWB. Can be utilized to increase strength, muscular endurance, power (somewhat)
Causes shear through applied physics. Typically isolated movements |
|
CLOSED KINETIC CHAIN EXERCISE
what is happening at the distal segment? |
Fixed distal segment
System of interdependent articulated links Concentric and / or eccentric Loads muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and joint capsules More functional applications than OKC in LE |
|
Kinematics
ARTHROKINEMATICS refers to... |
refers to the movement of the articular surfaces in relation to the direction of movement of the bony segment
“direction of joint movement” |
|
Kinematics
OSTEOKINEMATICS refers to... |
refers to the direction of movement of the bony segment
“direction of bone movement” |
|
Concave / Convex Rule
Moveable concave on a fixed convex where is the motion of the osteo and arthrokinematic aspects? |
Osteokinematic and arthrokinematic motion are in the SAME direction
Examples OKC knee flexion / extension OKC elbow flexion / extension CKC ankle dorsiflexion / plantarflexion CKC wrist flexion / extension “touching your toes” |
|
Concave / Convex Rule
Moveable convex on a fixed concave where is the motion of the osteo and arthrokinematic aspects? |
Osteokinematic and arthrokinematic motion are in the OPPOSITE direction
Examples OA flexion / extension CKC knee CKC elbow OKC hip OKC ankle |
|
Joint Function and Structure
what is CONGRUENCY? |
Joints match perfectly in only 1 position
The position of maximum congruency is known as the “CLOSED PACKED POSITION” Closed packed position- maximal joint congruency, peak tautness in ligaments and joint capsule Loose packed position- all other positions |
|
Contraction Types
Isometric contractions what is happening with this type? |
The muscle contracts but there is no movement
May include “co-contraction” Co-contraction- involves contracting the muscles on both sides of a joint simultaneously (i.e. the agonist and antagonist contract at the same time) Provide stability |
|
Contraction Types
Isokinetic contractions what is happening with this type? |
the Isokinetic contraction causes the muscle to shorten as it gains tension.
requires a constant speed over the entire range of motion, |
|
Active and Passive Insufficiency
ACTIVE main idea? |
Reduction in the ability of a muscle to generate force when a 2 joint muscle is contracted across both joints at the same time
Muscle is “very short” and is subsequently less efficient |
|
Active and Passive Insufficiency
PASSIVE main idea? |
The reduction in the ability of a muscle to generate force when a 2 joint muscle is lengthened across both joints at the same time
Muscle is “very long” and is subsequently less efficient |
|
Muscle Fiber Arrangement

long thin fibers running the length of the muscle belly: sartorius, gracillis
|
|
Muscle Fiber Arrangement
Parallel fibers FUSIFORM |

|
|
Muscle Fiber Arrangement
