Concentric and eccentric contraction make (2)

A

Q

Huxley’s sliding filament theory - 11 steps

A
  1. ap travels in on motor axon
  2. ap createds end plate potential
  3. epp depolarize sarcolemma
  4. depolarization of sarcolemma opens transverse tubules
  5. ca release
    6 ca bind to troponin on actin filament
  6. troponin and tropomyosin change shape, receptor sites exposed
  7. actin receptor binds with myosin apt cross bridge
  8. actin activates atp, adp and phosphate removed, energy released
  9. energy release causes power stroke of cross-bridge, thin over thick
  10. new ATP binds to cross bridge, breaking actin myosin bond
    IF NOT - no breaking bond and RIGOR MORTIS

Q

force length relationship

3 scenarios

A

sarcomere length and difficulty of contraction
small - centre space already used up
medium - space and lots of cross bridge
large - lots of space but not enough crossbridging so no force production

Q

Length tension relationship

3

A

active tension and passive tension - total tension
right around resting length is when tension is produced by sliding filament theory.
increasing passive tension is produced by muscle elasticity, lose active tension but capitalize for muslce for contraction - tensile properties for muscles

Q

plastic region

A

change in material property for permanent alteration and deformation

41
Q

long bone and stress

A

lots but the final bit is ultimate

42
Q

loading that fractures bones

A

combination of bending, torsion and compression

43
Q

3 point bending fracture

A

boot top fracture
top of leg falling forward, ski boot stationary but going forward, resistance at boot top which creates a torsion
beyond yield point reactive force at ground and top of long bone, counter force in the middle

44
Q

torsion

3

A

rotating opposite ends at opposite directions

can be horizontal, vertical, or shear forces that make spiral or torsional fractures

tension is along the plane of shear (instantaneous) high speed torsion can be drastic

45
Q

4 steps of recovery of a bone fracture

A

blood escapes from ruptures blood vessels and form a hematoma

spongy bone forms near developing blood vessels, fibrocartilage forms in more distant regions

fibrocartilage replaced by boney callus

osteoclasts remove excess bony tissue/making new bone structure much like original

46
Q

How to develop spongy bone in a gap

A

workable gap to develop spongy bone
perturbations will stop the advancement
too small and it will never heal because new material is never loaded - load transferred from side to side and therefore resorbed therefore you dont get a boney callus

47
Q

young vs old bone

A

compact vs spongy

48
Q

normal and immobilized bone vs load

A

normal bone can take more before bone integrity is compromised, and immobilized can take less because you lose bone strength by not loading it

49
Q

narrow dynamic compression plate

A

organize the gap activity
changes load distribution of bone
shared force between plate and bone - rigid plate + surface of endosteal reabsorption = increased cortical porosity because osteoclast thinks we do not need as much material

50
Q

possible solution to plate

A

bio dissociate plate

51
Q

epileptic patients and bone recovery (3)

A

decreased bone content because antiepileptics cause vit D deficiency
seizures can disrupt bone remodelling
tonic muscle contractions cause irregular loading

52
Q

does highly loaded bone mean accelerated loading/ roboust development?

A

G.A ilizarov came up with the idea of external fixation with horizontal wire through leg (compressed unions with movable rods) - loads bony callous - actively immobilized - pulls it apart so callus doesnt get resorbed

53
Q

what promotes osteoblast activity

A

Increased calcium and loading for bone deposition

54
Q

Total hip replacement started in _______ by _______________

A

1950 by Charnley

55
Q

Parallel advances between total joint replacement and gait analysis

56
Q

unassembled total hip

A

hip implant, femoral head, polythylene liner, acetabular shell

57
Q

Why do they need lots of revision surgeries?

A

wear at the bearing surface (plastic cup)

loosening of metallic femoral head

58
Q

Risks of total hip replacement in younger patients

A

fracture of femoral stem
lifetime loosening of fixation
a lot needs second injuries

59
Q

most stress on the hip replacement

A

stress on bottom of femoral implant and femoral head and this causes the osteoclast to resorb bony tissue and the bone thins
implant takes more of the loading of the medial aspect often resorbs due to unloading

60
Q

pros and cons if the hip replacement is thinner (4)

A

more elastic, better load transfer, easier to fracture, smaller surface for weight bearing

61
Q

pros and cons if the hip replacement is thicker (4)

A

less elastic
little load transfer
resistant to fractures
larger surfaces for weight bearing

62
Q

improved design of the hip replacement

A

better load transfer
fins limit rotation and promote bony growth
better biological behaviour

63
Q

solving the THR design conundrum - clinical biomechanics

A

moments and counter moments overload tissues at pivot point

force plates to assess loading on the ground

64
Q

Solving the THR design conundrum - experimental biomechanics

A

Gluteus maximus/abductor distance is small

strain gauges fro medial and lateral side of loading/biological loading of real femur to keep bone healthy

65
Q

total force = 0 at the hip how?

A

-gluteus maximus - bodyweight +fsupportof hip

Q

New research with pd

A

Q

paradoxical kinesias

A

surprised movements that use tricks to powerful rehab, so they’re enjoyable and functional therapeutic exercises and ADL
can be aroused from negative or positive emotional arousal

74
Q

Why is there low levels of PA support

A

low levels of support due to lack of experience/comfort of health care professionals, more than 90% had little or no info about the benefits of PA

75
Q

age of PD

A

10% is younger than 50 years

doesnt just happen to old people and doesnt make you old
