CH. 1 General Principles of Biomechanics Flashcards
rotations of a rigid surface about an axis
Levers
three types of levers
- 1st class lever
- 2nd class lever
- 3rd class lever
lever occurs when two forces are applied on either side of an axis
- the effort is the force that attempts to cause movement
- the resistance is the force that opposes movement
1st class lever
Example of a 1st class lever (human body)
contraction of the triceps at the elbow joint
lever occurs when two forces are applied on one side of an axis
- resistance lies between the effort force and the axis of rotation
2nd class lever
Example of a 2nd class lever (human body)
toe raises
lever occurs when two forces are applies on one side of an axis
- the effort force lies closer to the axis than the resistance force
3rd class lever
Example of a 3rd class lever (human body)
elbow flexion
movement beteween joint surfaces
arthrokinematics
What three motions describe the movement of one joint surface on another?
- roll
- glide
- spin
What movement consists of one joint surface rolling on another, such as a tire rolling on the road?
Roll
Example of roll
movement between the femoral and tibial articular surface of the knee
what movement consists of a pure translatory motion of one surface glidiong on another as when a braked wheel skids?
Glide
Example of glide
movement of the joint surface of the proximal phalanx at the head of the metacarpal bone of the hand
what movement consists of a rotation of the movable component of the joint?
Spin
Example of spin
movement between joint surfaces of radial head with humerus
combinations of all three motions can occur at joints
e.g.-between joint surfaces of humerus and scapula of shoulder
movement between two bones
Osteokinematics
describes relationship between arthrokinematics and osteokinematics
convex-concave rule
Convex moving on a fixed concave
the convex surface moves opposite to the direction of the shaft of the bony lever
concave moving on a fixed convex
the concave articulating surface moves in the same diraction as the bony lever
in the spine, at the level of the atlanto-occipital joint what rule applies?
the convex rule-convex surface will move oppsite the bony lever
in the spine below the second vertebra what rule appies?
the concave rule- concave surface moves in the same direction at the bony lever
