10 Vocab-Intro

Question 0

Dynamic balance

Answer 0

Ability to move and change directions under various conditions without falling.
Ability to reduce force at the right joint, at right time, in right plane of motion, requiring optimal dynamic balance and neuromuscular efficiency

Question 1

Balance

Answer 1

Body is in equilibrium and stationary, meaning no linear or angular movement
It does not work in isolation and is static and dynamic

Question 2

What is balance dependent on?

Answer 2

Internal and external factors to maintain body’s center of gravity over base of support

Question 3

Scientific rationale

Answer 3

Kinetic chain imbalances such as altered length tension relationships, force couple relationships, and arthrokinematics can lead to altered balance and neuromuscular inefficiency 
10.1
Joint disfunction
Muscle inhibition
Joint injury 
Swelling
Altered proprioception

Question 4

Balance threshold

Answer 4

Individuals limit of stability is the distance outside of the base of support that one can move into without losing control of center of gravity
