All About Movement

Question 1

Fundamental Movement Patters

Answer 1

1.Squatting
2. hip hinge
3. Pulling motions
4. Pushing motions
5. vertical pressing

Question 2

Plane of Motion : SAGITTAL

Answer 2

Front to Back - Forward and Backwards movement, and Up and down

Question 3

Plane of Motion : FRONTAL

Answer 3

Side to side - dives the body in front and back -/ anterior and posterior axis- movement are side to side adduction and abduction

Question 4

Plane of Motion TRAVERSE

Answer 4

Rotation - divides the body in top and bottom/ upper and lower halves

Question 5

Injuries happened frequently in

Answer 5

Frontal & Transverse

Question 6

Agonist Muscle

Answer 6

Are the prime movers for a joint motion , responsible for generating the primary forces of a particular movement

Question 7

Synergist Muscle

Answer 7

Create forces to assist prime movers, but aren’t the primary force for the joint motion

Question 8

Stabilizer Muscle

Answer 8

Contract Isometrical to support the joint , some muscle can help contracting immediately in anticipation of movement

Question 9

Muscle objectives is

Answer 9

Either produce, stabilize or resist movement

Question 10

Antagonist Muscle

Answer 10

Perform the opposite action of the prime mover

Question 11

Close Chain Exercises

Answer 11

Involve applying force into one immovable object. The hands and feet are typical fixed and don’t move.
Like push ups , squats and lunges, multiple muscles are activated

Question 12

Open Chain Exercises

Answer 12

Your hands and feet are not fixed and free to move in space and then to focus in isolating individual muscles

Question 13

Flexion

Answer 13

Bending Movement, decreased relative angle between segments

Question 14

Extension

Answer 14

Straightening movement, increase the relative angle between segments

Question 15

Plantarflexion

Answer 15

Extension at the ankle

Question 16

Dorsiflexion

Answer 16

Flexion at the ankle

Question 17

Abduction

Answer 17

Movement in the frontal plane away from the middle

Question 18

Adduction

Answer 18

Movement in the frontal plane towards the middle

Question 19

Horizontal abduction

Answer 19

Traverse plane arm movement from anterior to lateral ( chest flies)

Question 20

Horizontal Adduction

Answer 20

Traverse plane arm movement from lateral to anterior

Question 21

Internal Rotation

Answer 21

Rotation towards the middle of the body

Question 22

External Rotation

Answer 22

Rotation away from the middle of the body

Question 23

Concentric

Answer 23

Moving in oposite direction of force, accelerates or produce force , muscle shortens

Question 24

Eccentric

Answer 24

Muscle develop tension while lengthening, decelerates force

Question 25

Isometric

Answer 25

Muscular force equal to resistive force , stabilizes force , no change in muscle length

Question 26

Length Tension Relationships

Answer 26

Resting length of a muscle and the tension it can produce at that length

Question 27

Force Couple

Answer 27

Muscles working together to produce movement

Question 28

Force velocity curve

Answer 28

As the velocity of a contraction increases, concentric force decreases and eccentric force increases

Question 29

Neuromuscular efficiency

Answer 29

Ability to produce and reduce force and stabilize the kinetic chain in all three planes of motion

Question 30

Structural efficiency

Answer 30

Alignment of the musculoskeletal system that allows center of gravity to be maintain over a base of support

Question 31

David’s Law

Answer 31

Soft tissue models along the lines of stress

Question 32

Autogenic Inhibition

Answer 32

Neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract , provides inhibitory effect to muscle spindles

Question 33

Reciprocal Inhibition

Answer 33

Simultaneous contractions of one muscle and relaxation of it antagonist to allow movement

Question 34

Relative Flexibility

Answer 34

Tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance

Question 35

Pattern Overload

Answer 35

Consistently repeating the same motions places abnormal stress on the body

Question 36

Postural Distortion patterns

Answer 36

Predictable patterns of muscle imbalances

Question 37

Altered Reciprocal Inhibition

Answer 37

Muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist which inhibits its functional antagonist

Question 38

Synergistic Dominance

Answer 38

Inappropriate muscle takes over function of a weak or inhibited prime mover

Question 39

Muscle Imbalance

Answer 39

Alteration of muscle length surrounding the joint
