Q

How could you increase your stride length if you are moving at a constant speed?

A

Decrease your cadence
(stance time would increase because you’d be taking less steps)

25
What is a motor unit made of?
Alpha Motor Neurons & Muscle fibers it innervates
26
What does EMG measure?
The electrical activity of the Action Potential moving alone the motor unit (basically how active the motor units are) IT DOES NOT RECORD FORCE!
27
What are the two Strategies for Neuron Activation?
1). Recruitment- initial activation of specific motor neurons & their associated muscle fibers 2). Rate Coding- Discharge rate of sequential action potentials down motor unit
28
What does the Henneman Size Principle state about recruitment of motor neurons?
Smaller motor neurons are recruited before larger motor neurons. Larger motor units are recruited as force requirement increases.
29
What muscle fiber type is recruited first?
Slow Oxidative
30
What type of contraction recruits less motor units when activating muscles?
Eccentric. Its more force per motor unit, therefore fewer motor units are needed to give force
31
Unfused Tetanus vs Fused Tetanus
Unfused = repeating A.P. that generated series of summated twitches, but freq. is not high enough to prevent a drop in force from occurring before the next A.P. Fused = interval between twitches shortens & there is a stable level of muscle force
32
EMG analyses provide insight on:
Timing of Muscle Activation & Amplitude of Muscle Activation
33
Force Plates provide a measurement of
Amplitude Duration Phasic Characteristics Frequency
34
Inverse Dynamics
GRF decreases as you go up the body segment.
35
Joint Moment
rotational effect produced by a force
36
Center of Mass
unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero
37
Center of Pressure
point of application where the vertical ground reaction force is said to act
38
Pressure Equation
Pressure = Force/Area *therefore force = pressure x area
39
Why is Pressure Important?
Force doesn't change but when its distributed over a larger area, the pressure at any given point is less.
40
Platform Pressure Systems (emed)
functional assessment of the plantar surface of the foot (single foot step or multiple)
41
Loadsol
new tech, very linear, very durable, as app for immediate feedback
42
What bones & ligaments make up Medial Longitudinal Arch?
idk
43
What bones & ligaments make up Transverse Arch?
idk
44
What bones & ligaments make up Lateral Longitudinal Arch?
idk
45
Pronation consists of
Eversion ABduction Dorsiflexion
46
Supination consists of
Inversion ADDuction Plantarflexion
47
What movement occurs most at Talocrural Joint?
Dorsiflexion/Plantarflexion This is sagittal plane
48
What movement occurs most at Subtalar Joint?
Inversion/Eversion *lots of ABD/ADD too This is frontal plane
49
What is First Ray Axis? Why is it significant?
All bones in line in 1st column; it is independent from other 4 metatarsals and has a few oblique axes
50
What is Fifth Ray Axis? Why is it significant?
the 4th and 5th metarsals together; it has tri-planar axes
51
Sagittal Plane Kinematics: Ankle
10-15 deg DF 20 deg PF
52
How much ROM do you need in 1st MTP joint to have a good push-off?
~65 deg motion *if not, compensate by excessive toe out
53
Extrinsic Foot Muscles: Anterior Compartment
Ant. Tib (dorsiflexion, inversion) Eccentric action at heel contact to decelerate PF controls pronation in Stance phase produces DF in Swing Phase for foot clearance
54
Extrinsic Foot Muscles: Lateral Compartment
Fibularis Longus & Brevis Pronate! primary- eversion, secondary- PF
55
Extrinsic Foot Muscles: Posterior Compartment
Plantarflexors (gastroc, soleus, Tibialis posterior, FDL, FHL, etc) control motions of pronation/supination Active in most of Stance Phase Eccentrically control DF until heel off Concentric burst from heel off to toe off
56
Tibialis Posterior activation in Gait analysis
active in all of stance phase to eccentrically control pronation in first 1/2 of stance phase second 1/2 of stance phase it helps foot supinate
57
Sagittal Plane Kinematics: Hip
30 deg flexion 10 deg extension
58
Sagittal Plane Kinematics: Knee
60 deg flexion -5 deg extension
59
Frontal Plane Kinematics: Hip
5 deg ABD 5 deg ADD
60
Frontal Plane Kinematics: Knee
5 deg valgus (ABD) 5 deg varus (ADD)
61
When is knee flexion highest?
Midswing
62
Transverse Plane Kinematics: Hip
10 deg IR 7 deg ER
63
Transverse Plane Kinematics: Knee
5 deg IR & ER
64
Hip Abductors muscle activity in gait
-active at end of swing phase to prepare for weight acceptance -most active during first 40% of cycle
65
Knee Extensors Muscle activity in Gait Cycle:
Vasti- most active after heel strike, controls knee flexion (eccentrically helps with shock absorption) Rectus Femoris- after toe off helps flex hip (2 joint muscle)
66
Knee Flexors Muscle activity in Gait Cycle:
most active just before and just after heel contact before= decelerate knee ext. after= assist with hip ext. & provide stability
67
Hip Joint Torque Sagittal
early stance- hip ext torque 2nd 1/2 of stance- hip flexion early swing- concentric hip flexion late swing- extensor torque
68
Hip Joint Torque Frontal
Stance = large ABD torque Glute Med- eccentric to concentric contraction in stance Swing= concentric
69
Knee Joint Torques Sagittal
Early Stance= brief initial flexion torque followed by Large ext torque
70
Knee Joint Torques Frontal
Stance = Internal ABD torque (GRF pushes knee into ADD so its the external torque)
71
Six Determinants of Gait
Hip Flexion Pelvic Rotation Pelvic Drip Knee Flexion Foot/Ankle Motion Lateral Displacement of the Body
