Exam 2 (review version) Flashcards
Quantitative Biomechanics
- forces
- EMGs
- 3d movements of body segments
Qualitative
- Professionals, not scientists
- Coaches, speech therapists, trainers, etc.
- Visual assessment
- Observing, subjecting, making judgement
Kinematics
- Spatial and timing characteristics
- Time
- Displacement
- Angular displacement
- Velocity
- Angular velocity
- Acceleration
- Angular acceleration
Particle Model
-dot model representing center of mass
Stick Figure Model
-body configuration in 2d
Rigid Segment Body Model
-3d Volume
Steps for analysis
- identify the system
- frame of reference
- identify type of motion-body planes
Types of motion
- linear
- angular
- general
Causes of motion
-external forces and internal forces
Moment of force
moment arm * force
First class levers
-effort and load on opposite sides
Second class levers
- 2 on same side
- load closer to axis
Third class levers
- 2 on same side
- effort closer to axis
Newton’s 1st law
-object at rest remains at rest, object in motion remains in motion
Newton’s 2nd law
-the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object
Newton’s 3rd law
-for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction
Closed loop control
-utilizing feedback during the response to error correct
Action potential
-the change in electrical potential associated with the passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle cell or nerve cell
Reaction time
-Time difference between stimulus and response initiation
Movement intelligence
- Aggregate and vast repertoire of movements developed since birth
- We draw upon it to create a response
- Skills continually being enhanced, revised, and adapted through experiences
