Kicking a Ball

Question 1

Movement and Joint - kicking a ball

Answer 1

Knee Joint - Bi condylar modified synovial hinge joint - producing flexion - with normal range being +/- 135 degrees. 6 degrees of movement
Ankle joint - Talocural joint , synovial hinge joint / mortise and tenon joint - producing dorsiflexion -normal range being 20 degrees. 2 degrees of movement.
Hip Joint - Polyaxial Synovial ball and socket joint. 3 degrees of movement with normal range of adduction being 20-30 degrees.

Question 2

Plane and Axis_ kicking a ball

Answer 2

Flexion of the knee - Sagittal plane and frontal axis
Dorsiflexion of the ankle - Sagittal plane and frontal axis
Adduction of the Hip - Frontal plane and Sagittal axis

Question 3

Range of Muscle work - kicking a ball

Answer 3

Knee - Outer to inner

Hip - inner to outer

Question 4

Muscles producing Movement - knee_ kicking a ball

Answer 4

In knee Flexion the hamstrings are the Agonists - Bicep Femoris , Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, all supplied by the sciatic nerve.

In knee Flexion the Quadriceps are the Antagonists (vasti group) - vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius. Insertion = quadriceps tendon.
