19
Q

What is the centre of mass

A

The point on a body where all of the mass of the object can be concentrated
The average location of all the mass in a body

20
Q

What is the centre of gravity

A

The point in a body system around which its mass or weight is evenly distributed or balanced and through which the force of gravity acts

21
Q

In traditional anatomical position, the heigh of a human centre of gravity is…

A

55-57% of your standing height

22
Q

How do you calculate the centre of gravity ?

A

the sum of all the masses times the radius, divided by the sum of all the masses

23
Q

The centre of gravity is a…

A

point of balance

24
Q

The force of gravity pulls down on all mass particles in the body, each element creates a _____ about the other elements

A

torque

25
Q

The centre of gravity is the position where…

A

the torques created by all the elements are balanced

26
Q

The total weight acts through the….

A

centre of gravity

27
Q

What are three ways to determine the CoG of segments in humans?

A
  1. Reaction board change method
  2. Cadaver limbs
  3. Scanning techniques (photogrammetry, Dexa, MRI)
28
Q

What are two downside to the reaction board method for determining centre of gravity

A

takes very long and is not very specific to different body parts

29
Q

How does the reaction board method work for determining centre of gravity

A

sum all torques around pivot point, wince we can find the weight of the individual and have the scale reading

30
Q

How can we determine the mass of CoG of different segments?

A

Reaction board + force plate - mass and CofG location. Calculate torque in different postures

31
Q

How do photogrammetry, dual-energy X-ray Absorbtiometry and magnetic resonance imaging images can be…

A

segmented and then known values for fat, muscle and bones are used to determine body segment parameters

32
Q

If you lift your left arm to your side you CoG…

A

.shifts to the left and moves up slightly

33
Q

Why does your CoG shift

A

because you have changed the distribution of the weight in your body. You stil lhave the same amount of weight on both sides but the moment arm of the weight of your arm is greater than it was so the torque is greater as well. To balance out the extra torque the centre of gravity shifts to the left

34
Q

For each limb movement the CoG of the entirebody shifts in the direction of….

A

that movement

35
Q

What does how much the CoG moves depend on?

A

the weight of the limb that moved and the distance it moved (torque caused by the limb)

36
Q

Are centre of gravity and centre of pressure the same??

A

NO

37
Q

What is the centre of pressure

A

This is the point location of the vertical ground reaction force vector. It represents a weighted average of all the pressures over the surface of the area in contact with the ground

38
Q

If one foot is on the ground, the net CoP lies…

A

within that foot

39
Q

at different points in the walking cycle the GRF vector acts… and creates….

A

at the centre of pressure under one foot and creates a torque about the CoG

40
Q

During quiet standing the movement of the COP moves…

A

in such a way to minimize the movement of the COG.

41
Q

The CoP oscillates around the position of the CoG creating…

A

opposing righting moments

42
Q

The ___ will move back and forth trying to keep the ___ within the base of support

A

COP

COG

43
Q

When you apply force to an object anywhere but its centre of gravity the object will…

A

translate and rotate about its centre

44
Q

A force not through the centre tends to cause… why?

A

a change in both the angular and linear motion of an object

Because the object will have tendency to rotate about its center of gravity
