Skeletal consideration for movement Flashcards
What do bones require to grow and strengthen?
Mechanical stess
What is apart of the skeletal system?
Bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints
What is physical activity important for?
Development, maintenance of skeletal intergrity and strength
What may cause osteoclast to activate?
A sedimentary lifestyle
What creates the greatest overload?
Muscle activity with external loads
What are 2 properties that bone has?
anisotropic and viscoelastic
What response depends on the direction of the load application?
Anisotropic
What response depends on the rate and duration of loading?
Viscoelastic
What allows bones to adapt to the force demand?
Viscoelastic
What can happen to stress over time?
The viscoelastic property of the bone can only stand a certain duration therefore things like stress fractures can occur
What is Wolffs Law?
Bone will be thicker at areas of high stress, and thinner at areas of low stress
Where is spongy bone found?
High stress areas
What is a response to decreased stress?
Bones become weaker, osteoclasts dominate
What is a response to increased stress
bones become stronger, osteoblasts dominate
What are some goals of physical activity in adolescents and adult hood?
Exercise may help attenuate loss
At what age does minimize decline and decrease by .05% per year?
40 years old
Who might lose a significant amount of bone mass?
Astronauts
When does your body adapt to carry least amount of bone mass?
Inactivity
What are the different types of loading
Compression, tension,sheer, torsion, Bending
What load does muscle apply to bones
Tension
What is considered compression?
Walking ( floor and body are applying equal pressure)
What force has the highest risk of injury
Sheer ( pressure is being applied to the shaft)
What force is compression and tension combined?
Bending
Sheer force of bone is a ______ and torsion is a type of ________
compression, tension
