A
Branch of mechanics that describes motion of a body, without regard to forces or torques hat may produce motion
a. Kinetics
b. Kinematics
B
True or False
The position of max congruency of articular surfaces is referred to as the joints close-packed position
True
What does the sagittal plane run parallel to?
the sagittal suture of the skull, dividing the body into left and right sections
What does the frontal plane run parallel to?
the coronal suture of the skull, dividing the body into front and back sections
What does the horizontal (transverse) plane run parallel to?
the horizon and divides the body into upper and lower sections
True or False
Concentric activation occurs as a muscle produces a pulling force as it is being elongated by another – more dominant force
False
True or False
The agonist is the muscle or muscle group that is most directly related to the initiation and execution of a particular movement
True
True or False
A first class lever will always have its axis of rotation (AOR) at one end of a bone and the internal force possesses greater leverage than the external force
False
True or False
Slide represents a singular point on one articulating surface contacting multiple points on another articular surface
True
