Q

Ability to shorten or contract

  • Produces tension between ends

18
Q

Ability to recoil or return to normal resting length when stretching or shortening force is removed

A

Elasticity

19
Q

What is tension?

A

Force built up within the muscle

20
Q

What does it mean to shorten?

A

muscle shortens 1/2 its normal resting length

21
Q

What is excursion?

A

Distance from max elongation to max shortening
(From the shortened to lengthened; 3”-9” = excursion)
Shortened = 3”
Normal = 6”
Stretched = 9”

22
Q

When a muscle reaches a point where it cannot shorten any farther
- Occurs to the agonist

A

Active insufficiency

23
Q

When a muscle cannot be elongated any farther without damage to the fibers
- Occurs to the antagonist, opposite the agonist

A

Passive insufficiency

24
Q

Example of Active insufficiency…

A

Hamstrings which are a two joint muscle (extend the hip and flexes the knee). Can preform either motion but not simultaneously. If you flex the knee while hip is extended it cannot complete full range because muscle is at maximum contraction.

25
Q

Example of Passive insufficiency…

A

hamstrings -muscle can be stretched of two joints but not simultaneously. sitting with knee extended then try to flex hip. hamstring is to tight it has already been stretched to maximum capacity.

26
Q

Agonist usually becomes actively insufficient (cannot contract any farther) before the antagonist becomes passively insufficient (cannot be stretched farther)

A

Stretching

27
Q

What are the 3 types of muscle contractions?

A
  1. Isometric
  2. Isotonic
  3. Isokinetic
28
Q

When a muscle contracts, producing force without changing the length of the muscle
(joint angle does not change)

A

isometric

Ex. plank position

29
Q

Muscle contracts, changing the muscle length and the joint angle. Can be concentric or eccentric

A

Isotonic

30
Q

Muscles shorten and the muscle attachments move towards each other. Usually occurs against gravity direction (raising motion)

A

Concentric

Ex. - biceps muscle bringing up the barbell.

31
Q

Describe eccentric

A

Muscles lengthen and the muscle attachments move away from each other
Usually occurs with gravity (lowering motion)
Ex. biceps muscles as a barbell is lowered.

32
Q

What are roles of muscle ?

A
  1. agonist
  2. Antagonist
  3. Cocontraction
  4. Stabilizer
33
Q

Muscle or muscle groups that cause the motion

A

Agonist

Ex. During elbow flexion bicep is the agonist and pronator teres is the assisting mover

34
Q

Muscle that performs opposite motion of agonist

A

Antagonist

Ex. During elbow flexion bicep is agonist and tricep is the antagonist.

35
Q

When agonist and antagonist contract at same time. Occurs when there is a need for accuracy.

A

Cocontraction

36
Q

Group which stabilizes the part to allow the agonist to perform more effectively; sometimes referred to as a fixator

A

Stabilizer

Ex. When doing a push up abdominal muscle are the stabilizes

37
Q

Muscles only have one direction of pull. It is usually a diagonal line of pull.

A

Angle of pull

38
Q

What are 3 types of angle of pull?

A
  1. Vertical
  2. Horizontal
  3. Diagonal
39
Q

Elevating or depressing the scapula is an example of what angle of pull?

A

Vertical pull

40
Q

Retract or protract the scapula is an example of what angle of pull?

A

Horizontal pull

41
Q

What type of pull causes motion in both planes?

A

Diagonal pull

42
Q

Position in which the muscle shortens without having to work against the effects of gravity.
Done in horizontal plane.

A

Gravity-eliminated exercise

43
Q

Describe a closed-kinetic chain

A

Distal segment is fixed (closed) and the proximal segment moves.
Ex. Rising from a chair; (your knees extend causing your hip and ankles to move as well)

44
Q

Describe an open-kinetic chain

A

Distal segment is free to move and the proximal end remains stationary.
Ex. being seated and extending knee; (your knee, hip, and ankle would not move)
