What are the 5 principles of movement science?
Tissue source Pathomechanics (abnormal body mechanics) Tissue Stretch Impairments (what is causing the pathomechanical movement) Education
Examples of Tissue stress: Disc? Joints? Muscle?
Disc- Compression
Joints- shearing
Muscle- tensile
_ is the study of the response of the biological systems to mechanical forces.
Biomechanics
What is the equation for force? Common example that affects movement?
Force = Mass X acceleration
Common example: ground reaction force
_ is a physical force exerted on a body part
STRESS
_ _ are forces acting on a body part that are attempting to stretch the body part.
TENSILE STRESS are forces . . .
When tissues/ muscles are in a _ position the tensile strength is increased.
When tissues/ muscles are in a LENGTHENED position the tensile . . .
_ _ is a force acting on a body parallel to that body part.
SHEARING FORCE is a force acting . . .
A _ _ is a force acting on the body that is perpendicular to the body part.
A COMPRESSIVE FORCE is a force . . .
Equation for pressure?
Pressure = force/ area
Equation for power? Work?
Power= work/ time
Work = force X distance
_ occurs due to cumulative stresses, due to _ movements, over a _ period of _.
PAIN occurs due to cumulative stresses, due to REPETITIVE movements, over a PROLONGED period of TIME.
_ _ helps reduce patient anxiety and stress.
PATIENT EDUCATION
Compression of the patella into the femur occurs due to _ in the _ and _ _. Causes? Due to?
Compression occurs due to TIGHTNESS in the QUADS and PATELLAR TENDON.
Causes ANTERIOR KNEE PAIN
Due to QUAD DOMINANT STRATEGY
How can you help train patient to use a hip dominant versus quad dominant strategy with squats?
By restricting/ blocking movement of the knee so it cannot go past the toes
When the knee is allowed to move past the toes in a squat (quad dominant pattern) which joint sees the greatest increase in torque placed up on it?
Hips
The amount of torque placed on the knee _ with a hip strategy. With a quad dominant strategy?
Amount of torque placed on the knee DECREASES with a hip strategy.
INCREASES with a quad dominant strategy
What is the 3 things you should look at when observing posture?
1- Lumbar spine (sway back, flat back, lordosis, kyphosis)
2-Pelvis (posterior versus anterior tilt)
3- Plumb line between ear- shoulder- hip (should be aligned)
Patients with excessive lordosis don’t like to? Reduced lordosis?
Excessive- don’t like to stand for a prolonged period
Reduced- don’t like to sit for a prolonged period
What are 3 things you should look at when viewing posture from a posterior view?
Muscle bulk (see if it is even bilaterally)
Arm window crease (should be roughly the same bilaterally)
Creases in skin (if you see a large crease patient may prefer to bend/ move more from that area)
3 things to look at when assessing sitting posture from a Sagittal view?
- Hip flexion (look at GT to ASIS)
- Pelvic position (posterior vs. anterior tilt)
- Position of lumbar spine
_ _ anterior tilt is considered normal. - _of hip flexion is considered to be normal in sitting, if less than _ _ they are?
10 DEGREE anterior tilt is considered normal (standing)
100-110 DEGREES of hip flexion is considered to be normal in sitting, if less than 90 DEGREES they are going to compensate with flexion in the lumbar or thoracic spine.
When bending over to pick something off of the floor, what is considered a normal range of trunk flexion?
Normal 30-40 DEGREES of trunk flexion
Glut/ Hip progression- Level 0: _ _ and _ _ activation, and then _ and _ _.
UPPER ABDOMINAL and LOWER ABDOMINAL activation, and then FULL and SIDE PLANK.
