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

Parallel fibers

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

Parallel fibers

FUSIFORM
spindle-shaped, tapered on the ends, “fat” in the middle: biceps brachii
Muscle Fiber Arrangement

Parallel fibers

RHOMBOIDAL
4 sided, flat, broad attachments: rhomboids
Muscle Fiber Arrangement

Parallel fibers

TRIANGULAR
flat, fan-shaped; narrow at one end, broad at the other: pectoralis major and minor
Muscle Fiber Arrangement

Oblique fibers

UNIPENNATE/BIPENNATE/MULTIPENNATE
Unipennate- 1 sided feather
Bipennate- 2 sided feather
Multipennate- many directions
