27
Q

What are the two ways the tendon load can be increased?

A

Increase the external load (gravity) or increase the speed of movement

28
Q

How does hopping affect the tendon load?

A

Increases the tendon load by 5x the body weight

29
Q

How does temperature affect tendons and ligaments?

A

Increased temperature will decrease the stiffness, increase creep and relaxation, and decrease tissue failure limit

30
Q

How does aging affect tendons and ligaments?

A

Tensile strength increases during childhood and you have maximal tensile strength at skeletal maturity (gradually declines during adulthood)

31
Q

What is the SAID principle?

A

Specific adaptation to imposed demand

32
Q

What is the effect of immobilization?

A

Decreases tensile strength and stiffness and causes contractures - can be minimized if tendon/ligament is elongated

33
Q

What is the effect of exercise on tendons and ligaments?

A

Increases circulation and can minimize loss of strength associated with aging or injury

34
Q

What is the function of a bursae?

A

Shock absorption and protection from compression

35
Q

What is the hardest form of connective tissue?

A

Bone

36
Q

What are the main functions of bones?

A

Serve as framework for body, serve as levers for muscle action, and protect viscera

37
Q

Is bone static or dynamic tissue?

A

Dynamic

38
Q

What are the three types of bone structures?

A

Cancellous bone - soft, inner layer
Cortical bone - hard, outer layer
Growth plates

39
Q

What is the percentage of turnover in cancellous bone and cortical bone per year?

A

Cancellous - 25%
Cortical - 3%
-Higher turnover with cancellous bone because it is more fragile and has a different vascular station

40
Q

Why is the compression on a bone more than body weight?

A

Compression is both body weight and muscle force

41
Q

What are the two bending forces on bone when standing?

A

Compression - medially

Tension - laterally

42
Q

What is anisotropy?

A

Bone has different mechanical properties in different directions

43
Q

What is the relationship between density and activity with regards to bone?

A

Increased activity –> increased density

Decreased activity –> decreased density

44
Q

What is the function of cartilage?

A

Distribute joint loads over as large an area as possible and allow contact and movement between two bony surfaces with minimal friction and wear

45
Q

What is cartilage mostly composed of?

A

Water

46
Q

What is the importance of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in cartilage function?

A

Contains molecules that imbibe water which swells the tissue and gives it stiffness (helps disperse repetitive forces) and allows for nutrient delivery

47
Q

What are three types of cartilage?

A

Hyaline - low friction
Fibrocartilage - high friction - found in joints
Elastic cartilage

48
Q

Is joint cartilage avascular or vascular?

A

Avascular

49
Q

How is cartilaginous compressibility affected by the rate of loading?

A

Rapid loading causes the cartilage to become stiffer

50
Q

What happens to the fluid content of cartilage when subjected to a constant load?

A

Undergoes creep

51
Q

How are compression of cartilage and shear forces related in creating cartilage failure?

A

Compression causes shear forces at cartilage-bone interface (shear stressed occur when liquid goes out the sides)

52
Q

What are some mechanical factors that can cause osteoarthritis?

A

Obesity, repetitive loading, joint instability, and rapid loading

53
Q

What is the relationship between exercise and cartilage?

A

High loading sports can cause increased osteoarthritis, ROM exercises cause increased fluid flow in and out of cartilage and moderate exercise causes an increase in gag count which increases tensile strength

54
Q

What are two categories of joints?

A
  1. Diarthroses - synovial joints that allow free movement

2. Synarthroses - nonsynovial joints

55
Q

What are two types of synarthroses joints?

A
  1. Fibrous joints - sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses

2. Cartilaginous joints - symphyses and synchondrosis

56
Q

What are the two layers of the joint capsule?

A

Stratum fibrosum - outside, poor vascularization, rich innervation
Stratum synovium - inside, rich vascularization, poor innervation

57
Q

What is the function of the stratum fibrosum and stratum synovium?

A

Stratum fibrosum - position and movement sense

Stratum synovium - produces synovial fluid

58
Q

What are the three classifications of diarthrodial joints?

A
  1. Uniaxial - hinge and pivot joints
  2. Biaxial - condyloid and saddle joints
  3. Triaxial - plane and ball and socket joints
59
Q

What is hypermobility and hypomobility?

A

Hypermobility - ROM exceeds normal

Hypomobility - ROM less than normal

60
Q

What is osteokinetmatics?

A

Refers to the rotary movements of the ones in space during physiological joint motion

61
Q

What is arthrokinetmatics?

A

Accessory motion - motion of the joint surfaces in relation to another

62
Q

What are the three terms used in arthrokinematics?

A

Roll, glide, and spin

63
Q

What is the convex on cave rule?

A

Roll and glide occur in opposite directions

64
Q

What is the concave on convex rule?

A

Roll and glide occur in same direction

65
Q

What is a closed-pack position?

A

Joint surfaces have maximal congruency and the ligaments and capsule are taut

66
Q

What are the two parts of the extracellular matrix?

A

Fibrillar component - collagen and elastin

Interfibrillar component - water
