final Flashcards
define isometric movements
no change in length
define concentric movements
muscle shortens
eccentric
muscles lengthens
isotonic
muscle moves with length change
factors that determine the amount of movement at a joint
shape of bones
taughtness or laxity of ligaments
length of soft tissue structure that supports
if joint moves independently of other joints
closed pack position is when the joint stability is at its greatest
open packed - at its weakest
name the 3 proprioceptors
muscle spindles
golgi tendon organs
joint kinesthetic receptors
the only skeletal muscles that dont have muscle spindles ?
muscles in the middle ear
in a first class level, where is the fulcrum
in the middle
between the effort and load
in second class lever what is in the middle
the load
between fulcrum and effort
in third class lever what is in the middle
effort
between the fulcrum and load
in a first class level it acts like what action
a seesaw
if the two forces are equal the force w longer arm (furthest from axis) has an advantage like a seesaw
ex of first class lever
atlanto occipital joint
axis (pivot, fulcrum) joint
load (resistance) weight of head
effort(force) neck extensor muscles
ex of second class lever
standing on balls of feet
axis: MTP joint
load: weight of body
effort: calf muscles contracting
what is the most common lever in the body
third class lever
EFFORT BETWEEN FULCRUM AND LOAD
example of third class lever
biceps curl
axis: elbow joint
load: weight of arm and what it carries
effort: biceps muscle contracting
define kinetics
explains forces that produce or resist body movements
define kinematics
types of motion, direction, amount
bones serve as what in regards to kinesthetics
levers
joints serve as what in terms of kinesthetics
fulcrums
what plane does abduction/adduction move in
frontal (coronal)
does the sternoclavicular joint contain articular disc
yes
what muscle compresses the cheeks
buccinator
the lateral pterygoid does what action to the jaw
opens
