What is a class 1 lever
the two forces are on either side of the fulcrum
what is the effort force
the one that is trying to cause the movement - typically the muscle
What is the resistance force
the opposing movement - dumbbell, gravity
Example of a Class one lever and explain
triceps contraction - elbow is the fulcrum, effort force is the tricep and weight is the resistance
What is a class 2 lever
two forces are on one side but the resistance is in between the effort force and fulcrum
What is an example of a class 2 lever and explain
calf raise - fulcrum is at the metacarpal heads, resistance is gravity going down and the effort force is the calf pushing up
what is the most common lever in the body
class 3
What is a class three lever
the effort force is in between the fulcrum and resistance
What is an example of a class 3 lever and explain
elbow flexion - effort is at the biceps insertion , fulcrum is the elbow and resistance is the forearm/weight
Describe convex on concave movement
the convex surface will move opposite the direction of the shaft of the lever
Describe concave on convex movement
the concave surface moves in the same direction as the shaft of the lever
Describe convex- concave rule in the spine
At the atlanto occipital joint it is convex on concave. Below this it is concave on convex
What are the 3 types of normal end feels of a joint
Soft: soft tissue approximation
Firm: capsular or ligament stretch
Hard: bone or cartilage meet
What are the 5 types of pathological end feel of a joint
Boggy: edema or joint swelling Firm with decreased elasticity: fibrotic Rubbery: muscle spasm Empty: loose, then hard - pain guarding Hyper mobility: end feel later than opposing side

Sternoclavicular joint arthrokinematics
clavicle is convex superior to inferior and concave anterior to posterior
Shoulder joint capsule is supported by
RTC tendons and triceps LH tendon.
Which part of the shoulder joint capsule is most unstable
inferior
The coracohumeral ligament prevents
inferior dislocation
The coracohumeral ligament is taut in
ER
During elevation of the humerus it begins to ER at what degree of elevation
75
