Chapter 1: Intro to Occupation-Based Anatomy Flashcards
What are occupations?
Everyday activities that people do to bring meaning and purpose to life such as :
- ADLs
- IADLs
- Rest & Sleep
- Education
- Work
- Social Participation
- Leisure
- Play
- Health Management
What is Occupational Performance?
The act of completing meaningful activities by a person, group, or population
Define Arthrokinematics
The specific pattern of relative bone surface movement within a joint.
Define axis motion
A straight line around which an object rotates; typically lying within the joint
Define biomechanics
The study of movement of living organisms
Define Closed-chain movement
Functional movement involving a fixed (no moving) distal segment such that the proximal joint(s) move together in relation to this fixed point.
Define elasticity
The ability to stretch and return to the original shape after tensile force is removed
Define End-feel
The feel of a joint at the end of a passive range; can indicate a general source of restriction
Define 1st class lever
A lever arranged with the exerted and resistive forces on opposite sides of an axis
Define force
Push or pull
Define function anatomy
The underlying body structures and movements involved in daily function
Define functional mobility
Moving the body from one position or place to another
Define joint reaction force
The force generated within the joint in response to external forces acting upon it
Define kinesiology
The study of anatomy and mechanics in relation to the human movement
Define the kinetic chain
Cooperative, interdependent movement of the segments and joints of the body
Define length-tension relationship
The concept that a muscles strength is relative to it’s length at time of contraction
Define mechanical advantage
Leverage affected by the type of lever and length of moment arm
Define moment
The turning effect of a force or its tendency to cause rotation
Define moment arm
The distance from an axis to the force acting upon it; in functional anatomy the perpendicular distance from a joint’s center of rotation to the muscles moving it.
Define Motor skills
Performance skills that include physical movement of the body
Define open-chain movement
Free movement of the joints and segments of the body in space; joints move together or independently of the others
Define osteoarthritis
The degeneration of joint cartilage and underlying bone within a joint
Define osteokinematics
The gross movement of bones in relation to one another; often an externally visible pattern of movement
Define performance patterns
The habit, routines, rituals, and roles that form the rhythms and expectations of daily life.
Define performance skills
The goal directed actions that contribute to occupational performance, including motor, process, and social interaction.
Define planes of motion
The fixed planes that segments of human body move through or parallel to; include the Sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes.
Define purposeful movement
Meaningful, goal-directed motion
Define 2nd class lever
A lever arranged with the exerted and resistive forces on the same side of an axis , with the resistive force closer to the axis
Define strain
The amount of material displacement under a specific amount of stress
Define stress
The amount of applied force per area
