what are the rotator cuff muscles
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
myotatic/stretch reflex
responds to quick stretch with muscle contraction
where/what is receptor in stretch reflex
muscle spindle in the muscle belly
tendon reflex
responds to muscle tension with muscle relaxation
where/what is receptor in tendon reflex
golgi tendon organ in tendon
force
pushes or pulls through direct mechanical contact or through force of gravity to alter motion of an object
-ability to accelerate or decelerate
-ability to deform object
vector quantity
has magnitude, direction, and point of application
force of muscle determined by
- # of muscle fibers contracting
- muscle size, shape, and fiber arrangement
parallel fiber arrangement
parallel to length of the muscle, produce most ROM
-brachioradialis, sartorius, rectus abdominus, pectoralis major
pennate fiber arrangement
arranged obliquely to the tendon, produce the most force
- tibialis posterior, rectus femoris, deltoid
what is maximal force influenced by
- nervous system activation
- muscle length
- muscle velocity
how does muscle length influence maximal force
close to resting generates more force than shortened or lengthened position
how does muscle velocity influence maximal force
as resistance increases, maximal velocity a muscle can contract concentrically decreases
as resistance increases, eccentric velocity increases
