Roll and slide are opposite in direction Convex on concave or concave on convex?

Convex on concave

Roll and slide are in the same direction Concave on convex or convex on concave?

Concave on convex

The roll occurs in the (same/opposite) direction of the segment that's moving.

Same

To determine whether or not a segment is rolling posteriorly or anteriorly you have to think back to anatomical position. True or false?

True

Concave or convex? Glenoid Tibia Ulna

Concave

Convex or concave? Femur Humerus Talus

Convex

Joints tend to “fit best” or be in maximal congruency in one particular position in the range of motion . This point is usually at or close to the end range of a motion. In this position most ligaments and joint capsules are pulled taut. Accessory movements are typically minimal in this position. Joint is very stable in this position. Closed Packed Position or Loose packed position?

Close packed position

All other positions of the joint, ligaments relatively slackened, accessory movements are increased, joint surfaces are less congruent Closed Packed Position or Loose Packed position?

Loose packed position

Definition: Branch in the study of mechanics that focuses on the effect of forces on the body

Kinetics

(Internal/External) force - Produced from structures located within the body

Internal

(External/Internal) force - Forces that are outside the body (gravity, external weight)

External

What is the perpendicular distance between the axis of rotation and the force?

Moment (lever) Arm

What is the formula for Torque?

Torque (T) = Force X Distance (Moment Arm)

What type of contraction? Muscle is producing pulling force while maintaining a constant length.

Isometric

When the internal torque = the external torque, what kind of contraction is that?

Isometric

What type of contraction? Muscle is producing a pulling force as it contracts (shortens).

Concentric

When the internal torque > external torque, what kind of contraction is it?

Concentric

What type of contraction? Muscle is producing a pulling force as it lengthens due to a larger external force.

Eccentric

When the external torque > internal torque, what kind of contraction is it?

Eccentric

Which class of lever? Axis of rotation is between its opposing forces.

1st class

Which class of lever? Axis of rotation is at one end of a bone and the muscle force has greater leverage than the external force. These are extremely rare in the human body.

2nd class

Which class of lever? Axis of rotation is at one end of a bone and the external force has greater leverage than the muscle force. This is the most common lever in the human body.

3rd class

The moment arm of a muscle gets (shorter/longer) as you contract farther and get it to a steeper (acute) joint angle

Shorter

The greatest moment arm of a muscle is at (midrange/end range) , this is where the moment arm of a muscle is at its longest point because it gets a maximal horizontal distance away from the fulcrum

Mid range

At an obtuse angle as you are lengthening the muscle the moment arm gets (shorter/longer)

Shorter

What is the formula for mechanical advantage (MA)?

Internal moment arm / external moment arm

Which class lever? Can have MA equal to, less than, or greater than 1

1st

Which class lever? Always has MA greater than 1?

2nd

Which class lever? Always has MA less than 1?

3rd

(Static/Dynamic) equilibrium - when the linear or rotational velocity are zero (the body is not moving)

Static

(Dynamic/Static) equilibrium - when the linear and/or rotational velocity is not zero but is constant (the body is not accelerating)

Dynamic

Definition: Point about which mass is evenly distributed in all directions

Center of Mass

Definition: The amount of energy required to alter the velocity of a body

Inertia

If the center of mass is farther from a joint it will have a (greater/smaller) mass moment of inertia

Greater

If the COM of a limb is further from a joint, it makes it (harder/easier) to move. If the COM of a limb is closer to a joint, it makes it (easier/harder) to move the joint.

Harder; Easier Think of a straight leg hip flexion versus a bent leg hip flexion.. You can move the leg a lot faster when the leg is bent.

Acceleration is (inversely/directly) proportional to mass moment of inertia

Inversely Torque (T) = I x a

Definition: Force that is produced by the ground while someone is standing or walking

Ground reaction force Foot produces a force against the ground and , and Newtons Third Law dictates that the ground generates the “ground reaction force” in the equal but opposite magnitude.

Joint reaction forces act opposite to the (internal/external) muscle force

Internal JRFs are always kind of opposite to the internal muscle force right so it's that idea of every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The muscle forces are pulling in one way and the joint is going to have to act upon that because we're in static equilibrium.

The longer the external moment arm, the (more/less) force the internal force has to apply to overcome the external force

When you go at a slow speed, there is more time to recruit motor units of your muscle and you are going to end up with (more/less) force. When you have less time or a faster speed you're not going to be able to recruit as many motor units and so there's going to be (less/more) force.

More; Less
