Q

In what specific joint in the body are there a lot of proteoglycans found?

A

There are a lot of proteoglycans found in intervertebral discs because they need to resist compression to protect the spine. There are also high concentrations in synovial fluid.

27
Q

Arthrokinematics

A

understanding the movement occurring at the joint surfaces

28
Q

Loose pack position

A

-Structures are most lax
-Greatest amount of joint play
-Usually at midranges

29
Q

Close pack position

A

-Usually at end ranges
-Structures surrounding the joint are taught
-Most stable position

30
Q

Describe the arthrokinematics of a concave bone surface rotating on a convex bone surface

A

The concave surface is rotating upwards and gliding upwards in the same direction

31
Q

Closed kinematic chain

A

When two ends are fixed

32
Q

Open kinematic chain

A

One end of the chain is moving, and the other is fixed

33
Q

Stress

A

Amount of force on a tissue

34
Q

Strain

A

amount of give that occurs in a material in response to stress

35
Q

Explain stress-strain to failure

A

A tissue has a certain amount of strain that it can take, at high stress there is a lot of strain on the tissue and at some point, it will reach its fracture or breaking point. Example: you can stretch a rubber band pretty far and it gets easier and easier to stretch it the more you go, and at some point the rubber band reaches its failure point and breaks

36
Q

What are the different regions in the stress-strain curve?

A

-Toe region (not much stress)
-Elastic region (tissue is starting to stretch and have more stress-strain)
-Plastic region (tissue is in a lot of stress but not quite at failure, tissue starts to get microtears)
-Failure point (tissue reaches its failure point and breaks)

37
Q

When do tendon ruptures commonly occur?

A

Tendon ruptures usually occur during eccentric loading

38
Q

What percentage of strength is lost in ligaments at 6-9 weeks of immobilization?

A

up to 50%

39
Q

What two types of tissues are capable of excitation?

A

Muscle and nerve tissue

40
Q

What is the definition of torque?

A

The perpendicular force X the length of the lever arm

41
Q

What are the three different lever systems?

A

-First class (teeter totter, fulcrum in middle)
-Second class (wheelbarrow, fulcrum is on opposite site of force)
-Third class (hammer, fulcrum is on the side the force is produced)

42
Q

What are the two types of muscle fibers?

A

-Type 1: Slow twitch
-Type 2: Fast twitch

43
Q

What type of muscle architecture can produce the most force?

A

Pennate muscles

44
Q

What type of muscle architecture can move a bony lever the most?

A

strap

45
Q

Length-tension relationship

A

Optimal force generation occurs when the muscle is slightly beyond its resting length and is slightly stretched

46
Q

Active insufficiency

A

when the muscle becomes shortened to the point that it cannot generate much force/tension

47
Q

Passive insufficiency

A

when the opposing muscle becomes stretched to the point where it can no longer lengthen

48
Q

Concentric

A

A shortening contraction

49
Q

Eccentric

A

A lengthening contraction

50
Q

Isokinetic exercise

A

set speed but variable resistance

51
Q

Force-velocity relationship

A

-An inverse relationship
-As force increases, velocity decreases
-As velocity increases, force decreases

52
Q

Where is the center of mass in the body?

A

Just anterior to S2 at the top of the pelvis

53
Q

Newton’s 1st law

A

a body at rest will stay at rest, and a body in motion will stay in motion until an outside force acts on it

54
Q

Newton’s 2nd law

A

acceleration of a body is proportionate to the magnitude of the force acting on it and inversely proportional to the mass (F=ma)

55
Q

Newton’s 3rd law

A

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

56
Q

What is the definition of work?

A

force times the distance traveled

57
Q

Power

A

ability to maintain work over time

58
Q

Strength

A

relative ability to generate force

59
Q

Endurance

A

Ability to continue muscular effort for a prolonged period of time

60
Q

How can muscular performance be measured?

A

It can be measured using torque

61
Q

Range of motion

A

angular displacement of the lever arm

62
Q

Angular velocity

A

speed of the lever arm

63

A

the highest point on the moment-angular position curve

64
Q

Work (isokinetic exercise)

A

area under the curve

65
Q

Describe the arthrokinematics of a convex bone surface rotating on a concave bone surface
