27
Q

A

Same

28
Q

To determine whether or not a segment is rolling posteriorly or anteriorly you have to think back to anatomical position.

True or false?

A

True

29
Q

Concave or convex?

Glenoid
Tibia
Ulna

A

Concave

30
Q

Convex or concave?

Femur

Talus

A

Convex

31
Q

Joints tend to “fit best” or be in maximal congruency in one particular position in the range of motion
.
This point is usually at or close to the end range of a motion.
In this position most ligaments and joint capsules are pulled taut.
Accessory movements are typically minimal in this position.
Joint is very stable in this position.

Closed Packed Position or Loose packed position?

A

Close packed position

32
Q

All other positions of the joint, ligaments relatively slackened, accessory movements are increased, joint surfaces are less congruent

Closed Packed Position or Loose Packed position?

A

Loose packed position

33
Q

Definition:

Branch in the study of mechanics that focuses on the effect of forces on the body

A

Kinetics

34
Q

(Internal/External) force - Produced from structures located within the body

A

Internal

35
Q

(External/Internal) force - Forces that are outside the body (gravity, external weight)

A

External

36
Q

What is the perpendicular distance between the axis of rotation and the force?

A

Moment (lever) Arm

37
Q

What is the formula for Torque?

A

Torque (T) = Force X Distance (Moment Arm)

38
Q

What type of contraction?

Muscle is producing pulling force while maintaining a constant length.

A

Isometric

39
Q

When the internal torque = the external torque, what kind of contraction is that?

A

Isometric

40
Q

What type of contraction?

Muscle is producing a pulling force as it contracts (shortens).

A

Concentric

41
Q

When the internal torque > external torque, what kind of contraction is it?

A

Concentric

42
Q

What type of contraction?

Muscle is producing a pulling force as it lengthens due to a larger external force.

A

Eccentric

43
Q

When the external torque > internal torque, what kind of contraction is it?

A

Eccentric

44
Q

Which class of lever?

Axis of rotation is between its opposing forces.

A

1st class

45
Q

Which class of lever?

Axis of rotation is at one end of a bone and the muscle force has greater leverage than the external force. These are extremely rare in the human body.

A

2nd class

46
Q

Which class of lever?

Axis of rotation is at one end of a bone and the external force has greater leverage than the muscle force. This is the most common lever in the human body.

A

3rd class

47
Q

The moment arm of a muscle gets (shorter/longer) as you contract farther and get it to a steeper (acute) joint angle

A

Shorter

48
Q

The greatest moment arm of a muscle is at (midrange/end range) , this is where the moment arm of a muscle is at its longest point because it gets a maximal horizontal distance away from the fulcrum

A

Mid range

49
Q

At an obtuse angle as you are lengthening the muscle the moment arm gets (shorter/longer)

A

Shorter

50
Q

What is the formula for mechanical advantage (MA)?

A

Internal moment arm / external moment arm

51
Q

Which class lever?

Can have MA equal to, less than, or greater than 1

A

1st

52
Q

Which class lever?

Always has MA greater than 1?

A

2nd

53
Q

Which class lever?

Always has MA less than 1?

A

3rd

54
Q

(Static/Dynamic) equilibrium - when the linear or rotational velocity are zero (the body is not moving)

A

Static

55
Q

(Dynamic/Static) equilibrium - when the linear and/or rotational velocity is not zero but is constant (the body is not accelerating)

A

Dynamic

56
Q

Definition:

Point about which mass is evenly distributed in all directions

A

Center of Mass

57
Q

Definition:

The amount of energy required to alter the velocity of a body

A

Inertia

58
Q

If the center of mass is farther from a joint it will have a (greater/smaller) mass moment of inertia

A

Greater

59
Q

If the COM of a limb is further from a joint, it makes it (harder/easier) to move. If the COM of a limb is closer to a joint, it makes it (easier/harder) to move the joint.

A

Harder; Easier

Think of a straight leg hip flexion versus a bent leg hip flexion.. You can move the leg a lot faster when the leg is bent.

60
Q

Acceleration is (inversely/directly) proportional to mass moment of inertia

A

Inversely

Torque (T) = I x a

61
Q

Definition:

Force that is produced by the ground while someone is standing or walking

A

Ground reaction force

Foot produces a force against the ground and , and Newtons Third Law dictates that the ground generates the “ground reaction force” in the equal but opposite magnitude.

62
Q

Joint reaction forces act opposite to the (internal/external) muscle force

A

Internal

JRFs are always kind of opposite to the internal muscle force right so it’s that idea of every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The muscle forces are pulling in one way and the joint is going to have to act upon that because we’re in static equilibrium.

63
Q

The longer the external moment arm, the (more/less) force the internal force has to apply to overcome the external force

A

More

64
Q

When you go at a slow speed, there is more time to recruit motor units of your muscle and you are going to end up with (more/less) force. When you have less time or a faster speed you’re not going to be able to recruit as many motor units and so there’s going to be (less/more) force.

A

More; Less
