Exam 1 Flashcards
what provides joint stability
- bones and joints
- ligaments and joint capsule
- neuromuscular activity
How do bones act as levers and shock absorbers
- Intrinsic strength resists external forces
- Designed for:
- Shock absorption
- External stress distribution
- Muscle attachments
what is proprioception
it is sense of self
what provides conscious and unconscious proprioception
conscious: dorsal columns
unconscious: cerebellar
difference bw muscle spindle, golgi tendon, and pacinian corpsucle
muscle spindle: muscle length
golgi tendon: muscle tension
pacinian corpuscle: pressure
what makes up the stance phase
contact: loading response/mobile adaptor/shock aborption
midstance: convert to rigid lever
propulsion: terminal
when is the foot “loading”
loading during contact phase
- getting foot flat on ground
what is the contact phase of gait
- foot getting flat on ground
- foot strike to full forefoot load
- limb extending at hip
- ends at full forefoot load
what occurs during midstance
- converting to rigid lever
- full forefoot load to heel off
- hip and knee extensors
- supinators of subtalar
- plantarflexors of first ray
what happens during propulsion
- heel off to toe off
- foward movement of limb
- hip and knee flexors
- dorsiflexion and inversion of foot and ankle
what are the movements of propulsion
- pre-swing
- heel off
- toe off
- foot off loaded
what are the parts of swing phase
- Initial swing-limb is accelerating
- Mid swing
- Late or terminal swing
- Limb is decelerating
- Extending the limb for contact
what are the 6 elements of gait
- Pelvic rotation
- pelvic twist
- knee flexion in stance phase
- and 5 heel contact and heel rise
- lateral displacement of body
supination vs pronation open kinetic chain
- supination
- plantarflexion
- inversion
- adduction
- pronation
- dorsiflexion
- eversion
- abduction
supination and pronation: what everts or inverts?
supination: inversion
pronation: everion
What is potential energy vs kinetic energy?
- Potential energy
- Stored energy
- Depends on gravity
- PE=mgh
- Kinetic energy
- Energy from motion
- Requires that object is moving and its energy is dependent upon its mass and velocity
- KE=1/2mv^2
What is the law of conservation of energy?
energy cant be created nor destroyed
characteristics of bone
Bones are made of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate
60-70% of all minerals
Water
25-30%
Collagen
Provides flexibility and strength
Loss of collagen with aging
