Q

normal force/ground reaction force

A

If a person is standing on the floor, the floor/surface applies a normal force on the person so that the magnitudes of the two forces are equal. The reactionary force exerted by the ground is the ground reaction force.
- In reality, GRF is hardly ever comprised of just a normal (vertical/perpendicular) force

Q

center of mass

A

a single force that represents the distribution of a load passes through this point

21
Q

primary dimensions

A

length, time, mass

22
Q

secondary dimensions

A

derived from primary dimensions

  • Area (length*length)
  • velocity (length or position/time)
  • acceleration (change in velocity/time)
23
Q

Newton’s third law

A

To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

i.e., if you push a body, the body will push you back

24
Q

action-reaction

A

when one body applies a force to another body, that second body provides and equal force in the exact opposite direction with equal magnitude
i.e., GRF

25
Q

forces of action and reaction between the interacting bodies are:

A
  1. equal in magnitude
  2. opposite in direction
  3. have the same line of action
26
Q

Newton’s first law (Law of Inertia)

A

body remains at rest, or constant linear velocity, except when compelled by external force to change its state
- a force is required to start/stop/slow down/speed up/alter the direction of linear or rotational motion

27
Q

inertia

A

reluctance of a body to change its current state (has to be overcome to move/change direction of the object)

28
Q

static equilibrium

A

when linear and or rotational velocities are 0 (not moving)

29
Q

dynamic equilibrium

A

when linear and/or rotational velocity of the object aren’t 0, but is constant (constant velocity)

30
Q

whiplash injury

A

clinical application of law of inertia

  1. body in equilibrium (car is parked or moving at constant velocity)
  2. the force of the car changes the state of the person’s seat (and body) so it is impelled forward, while the unsupported head remains at rest/equilibrium because it did not experience this forward-directed force to the same extent. The head “whips” back until it meets an opposing force to slow down
  3. The opposing forces that slow/stop the head are the anterior neck structures and the hardest
31
Q

Newton’s second law

A

body with a net force acting on it, will accelerate in the direction of that force

  • magnitude of this acceleration will be proportional to the magnitude of the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the body
  • you can always have acceleration related to linear force, and rotational force (torque or moment)
  • F = m*a
  • Rotational force = mass moment of inertia (I) * angular acceleration (a (alpha))
32
Q

Acceleration

A

change in velocity/time

33
Q

Impulse

A

large force over small time period
F*time = impulse
m(v) = momentum

34
Q

moment (M)

A

M = I * angular velocity

35
Q

mass moment of inertia (I)

A

the object/body’s resistance to a change in angular velocity. It is a value derived from the mass of the object, and r is the distance from the point of rotation to the arc of motion of the object

36
Q

Relative reference frame

A

describes position of 1 limb segment with respect to adjacent segment (i.e., forearm relative to upper arm)
- Limitation: can’t define motion with respect to a fixed point in space

37
Q

Global reference frame

A

used to analyze motion with respect to ground/gravity/other external reference frame. We use Cartesian coordinate system

38
Q

Cartesian coordinate system

A

Convention = align the x-axis parallel to the body segment of interest

39
Q

Torque (moment)

A

associated w/rotational or twisting action of applied forces. Has magnitude and direction
M = d*F

40
Q

Direction of moment/torque: right hand rule

A

when you curl the fingers of your right hand in the direction that the force tends to rotate the body, your right thumb points in the direction of the moment

41
Q

2 ways to find the moment arm

A
  1. Lever Arm technique: always make the MA parallel to the segment of interest. If the force doesn’t make a right angle, find its component force that does - M = d*F. F is the force that makes a perpendicular with the moment arm
  2. Moment arm technique: extend the applied force’s line of action, until you can draw a perpendicular moment arm. Solve for d. You will need to know/calculate the distance from axis of rotation to the point of application of the force, and its angle of action to solve
42
Q

Moment arm

A

perpendicular distance between an axis of rotation and the line of force

43
Q

Lever arm

A

distance between the point of application of a force and the axis of rotation about which that force acts

44
Q

How does joint angle affect the moment/torque produced by the muscle?

A

The longer the moment arm (d), the less force is required

45
Q

Resistance due to gravity changes through joint’s ROM is maximum when

A

gravity acts perpendicular to the segment

46
Q

Biomechanical analysis

A

application of various sciences + geometry, math, calculus
Why? Important to realize the quantity of forces the body must produce and withstand during both daily activities and rehab

47
Q

Free body diagram

A

simplified drawings of the body constructed to help identify forces and moments acting on parts of a system

  • all known and unknown forces and moments are shown in the diagram
  • the parts of a system are isolated from their surroundings and the effects of the surroundings are replaced with forces and moments (drawn as vectors)
48
Q

Joint reaction force

A

includes joint contact force, and the net effect of all other forces transmitted from one segment to another

  • caused in reaction to other forces (muscles, gravity, tendons/ligaments, etc.)
  • acts through joint center (axis of rotation)
  • equal and opposite to the sum of the internal and external forces
  • usually directed opposite to the major muscle force
