Lecture 1 Flashcards
Kinetics
Describes the effect of forces on the body
Torques, f=ma
Kinematics
Describes the motion of the body
Translation, rotation, position velocity
Combined loading
Compression and torsion
Stress-strain curve
The idea that a muscle can either become plastic or elastic, depends on age, health of tissue, time and rate of loading
Stress
Internal resistance
Ex different colored Therabands
Strain
Change in length
Stretching one theraband differently
Internal forces
Active OR passive
External forces
Gravity, loads, weight
Active forex
Contractile tissue
Passing force
Non-contractile tissue (bone, fascia)
Sagittal plane
Medio lateral axis
Front/coronal plane
Anteroposterior axis
Transverse plane
Vertical axis
Oblique plane
Migrates during motion
Planes vs axis
Planes = indicate movement
Axes = used for testing. Perpendicular to planes
Osteokinematics
Motion of the bones relative to planes. What we see and measure
Es: abduction/adduction
Arthrokinematics
Motion that occurs between articular surfaces of joints. What we feel and assess
Ex: types of joints, concave vs convex, fundamental motions
Fundamental motions
Roll, slide, spin
Concave and convex joints
Improve surface area/congruency, dissipate force, guides motion
Concave on convex
Rolls and slides in similar directions
Convex on concave
Rolls and slides in opposite direction (convex)
Closed chain
Limb is stationary and touching the ground or exercise equipment (squat)
Open packed
Less surface area, capsule & ligaments are lax, accessory movement is maximized. Surrounding muscles are contracting more. Joints at rest are in open packed
Closed packed
More joint congruency, ligaments & capsule are taut, accessory movements are minimal
