Q

Multi pennate muscles

A

Multiple rows of tendons and fibers ex deltoid

29
Q

What happens in the toe region ?

A

When a load is first felt, the muscle will also lengthen very fast

30
Q

what happens in the elastic region?

A

structure will return to its previous condition

31
Q

what happens in yield point?

A

point where material will no longer return to previous condition?

32
Q

what happens in the plastic region?

A

joint mobilization / change occurs

33
Q

What happens in ultimate failure ?

A

muscle tear

34
Q

What are the facets of the articular orientation for the vertabrae?

A

Lower cervical segments - 45 deg planes
thoracic segment- 60 deg horizitonal
lumbar segment - nearly vertical

35
Q

What are the primary muscle movers in the back?

A

lats , traps, rhomboid , erector spinae

36
Q

What are the prime muscle stabilizers in the lower back?

A

multifidus, abdominal muscles

37
Q

How does the facets artciulate in the cervical and lumbar segment for flexion?

A

superior and anterior

38
Q

How does the facets artciulate in the cervical and lumbar segment for Extension?

A

inferior and posterior

39
Q

How does the facets artciulate in the cervical and lumbar segment for lateral flexion/extension?

A

same side flexion slides inferior and posterior

the opposite side slides superior and anterior

40
Q

How does the facets artciulate in the cervical and Lumbar segment for rotation?

A

on same side they go posterior and inferior

on opposite side they go anterior and superior

41
Q

What is Fryettes laws ?

A

Law 1: thorarcic/Lumbar- when spine is in neutral = motion goes to the opposite side
Law 2: thorarcic/lumbar :when spine is flexed or extended=motion goes to the same side
Law 3: motion reduced in one segment will reduce motion in all other segments

42
Q

What are the four types of primary tissues found in the body ?

A

connective tissue
muscle
nerve
epithelium

43
Q

What is connectie tissue comprised of ?

A

Fibrous proteins
ground substance
cells

44
Q

Static vs Dynamic equilibrium

A

static things are at rest

dynakic things are not at rest or even

45
Q

What is type 1 muscle fibers

46
Q

what is type 2A msucle fibers

A

intermediate fastw

47
Q

what is type 2B muscle fibers

48
Q

Endomysium

A

surrounds Individual muscle fibers

49
Q

Perimysium

A

covers groups of muscle fibers

50
Q

Epimysisum

A

covers the endomysium and perimysium

51
Q

What is a synergist?

A

muscles that help the agonist

52
Q

What are the effects of immobilization?

A

atrophy
decreased strength
40% loss of strength after 10 days
the muscle transitions to type 2 muscle fibers ( we use type 1 )

53
Q

What happens with the myofilaments in a concentric contractions?

A

thin myofilametns are pulled toward thick myofilaments

54
Q

What happens with the myofilaments in a eccentric contractions?

A

thin myofilaments are pulled away from the thick myofilaments

55
Q

What are the components of a contractile ?

A

generate tension from chemical, electrical, or mechanical signals

56
Q

what are the components of a non contractile?

A

generate tension passively

57
Q

What is the effects on the VC during a stoop lift?

A

spinal extensor muscles are at a disadvantage in the fully flexed position

intradiscal pressures are higher in a stooped position

58
Q

What is Nutation?

A

sacral flexion (tips anteriorly)

59
Q

What is counternation?

A

sacral extension ( tips posteriorly)

60
Q

What is a primary determinant of direction at any segment of the spine?

A

intervertebral disc space and orientation of facet joints

61
Q

What motion in the back will decrease symptoms?

62
Q

orientation of the unconvertebra joints limits what the most?

A

lateral flexion

63
Q

What is the gold standard for identifying scoliosis via x ray

A

cobb angle

64
Q

What is the benefit to irregular confirguation of contractile tissue?

A

allows for resistance against multi directional stress

65
Q

What happens if a ligament is big?

A

increased strenght before failure

66
Q

what happens to the intervertebral foramen during extension

A

it becomes smaller

67
Q

what are the strongest ligaments of the body?

A

the sacroiliac ligaments

68
