38
Q

What happens in multiplanar plane?

A

Circumduction

39
Q

What is the body’s center of gravity?

A

the point at which its mass is considered to concentrate where it is balances on either side of all planes. Center of Mass

40
Q

Where is this located in the average person?

A

Second Sacral Vertebrae

41
Q

To maintain balance a person’s line of gravity musct fall within?

A

Its base of support

42
Q

Is a large of small base more supportive?

A

Large base is more supportive

43
Q

What are synergist muscles?

A

They assist the agonist in causing a desired action

44
Q

What is co-contraction

A

When the agonist and antagonist contract together

45
Q

What are stabolizers?

A

Muscles that co-contract to maintain support and alignement.

46
Q

What is Isometric action

A

no visible movement occurs, the resistance matches the muscluar tension. used in balance or stabilization training.

47
Q

what is concentric action?

A

the muscle shortens and overcomes the resistive phase. the up phase of a bicep curl. against gravity.

48
Q

What is eccentric action?

A

Lengthening ore returning to its resting length from teh shortened one. goes with gravity

49
Q

what is a closed chain movement?

A

the end of the farthest part of the chain is fixed. ex. with a squat.

50
Q

Open kinetic chain

A

the end of the chain is free. seated leg extension.

51
Q

Do closed or open chain involve more muscles?

A

Closed chain involved more muscles.

52
Q

What is joint mobility?

A

The range of uninhabited movement around a joint pt body segment

53
Q

What is joint stability?

A

Ability to maintain or control joint movement or position.

54
Q

Muscular balance involves what three things?

A
  1. equal strength and flexibility on right and left sides
  2. proportional strength in opposing muscle groups
  3. balance in flexibility in normal range of motion.
55
Q

What are the 4 types of tissue found in the body?

A

Muscular, nervous, connective, epitheleal

56
Q

what is the difference between static balance and dynamic balance?

A

Static balance is when maintain balance while standing still.
Dynamic balance is reestablish new base of support while going through a range of motion.
