What are the characteristics of quadrupedal standing?
Wide base of support, limbs and therefore muscles are active at many joints making fit energy demanding
What are the characteristics of bipedal standing?
Relatively small area of contact with the ground, plantar surface of feet (part which touches floor), energy efficient
What is the role of gravity in standing?
It can act as an agonist or an antagonist so can change the position joints or also oppose movement
Where does the line of gravity fall in a human?
Posterior to the hip and anterior to the knee and ankle
What position is the hip in when standing?
It is pushed into extension so that the ligaments are tight and the joint is locked. Muscles aren’t active so this is energy efficient
What are the capsular ligaments of the hip?
Pubofemoral, iliofemoral and ischiofemoral
What are the ligaments of the hip like when in flexion?
lax anteriorly and taut posteriorly
What are the ligaments of the hip like when in extension?
taut anteriorly and lax posteriorly
What is the position of the knee joint when standing?
It is pushed into extension so that the ligaments (MCL and LCL) are tight and the joint is locked. Muscles aren’t active so this is energy efficient
What is the position of the ankle joint when standing?
The joint falls into dorsiflexion and isn’t locked. Plantarflexors must stabilise the joint and so energy is consumed
What is the bipedal stance unique to?
Humans
