KINES: Postural Control Flashcards
define posture
ability to maintain correct relationships betw body segments, body and environment for a task
what is the quadrupedal stance
BW is distributed in UE and LE - very stable
what is the bipedal stance
BW is transmitted through the vertebral column - reduces BOS
what are the effects of bipedal stance
inc heart rate
develops secondary curves
stability is challenged = needs adjustments
relate posture and COG
COG is dependent on body pos and it will affect posture
control mechanism will be made to adjust
what is static posture
maintained in one pos - sitting and standing
what is dynamic posture
body and segments are moving - walking and jumping
what is postural balance
ability to maintain the body in equilibrium in static/dynamic posture - muscles contract to avoid COM to move outside BOS
discuss reactive or compensatory postural control
body reacts to external force that displaces COM - when getting pushed you adjust your step
discuss proactive or anticipatory postural control
responds to anticipated destabilizing forces; di pa nag ccontact yung force - curve road body will moves to other direction
how does one challenge posture
perturbation - any sudden force that displaces body away from equilibrium
discuss sensory perturbation
eliminate visual inputs = automatic mechanism
slouching, using UE to feel environment, crouching, mga safety mechanisms
discuss mechanical perturbation
external forces that displaces COM
how does one respond to mechanical perturbation
body reacts by doing strategies or synergies
discuss fixed support strategies
feet remains on same point of ground and employs ankle or hip strategy
discuss ankle strategy
body will react to prevent too much dflex to avoid falling forward - for weak forces lng
discuss hip strategy
for stronger forces - relies more on the proximal segments
discuss change-in-support forces
one of the limbs steps forward to catch BOS - stepping strategy
grasping response - UE will grab to prevent falling; protective reaction
purpose of head stabilizing strategies
head adjusts for good orientation to environment in respect to body positions
discus head stabilization in space
change of head only - when trunk is bent head will straighten
discus head stabilization on trunk
head and trunk moves together - in car ganun
internal forces that affects posture
muscles and passive tension from static structures
external forces that affects posture
inertia
gravity
GRF
what is postural sway or sway envelop
constant swaying of in erect standing - due to inertia and gravity
when does GRF occur
when LE gets contact w ground and ground exerts same amount of force
describe postural control in ankle
anatomic position - LOG passes anterior to ankle and creates dflex moment
soleus will counteract and create a pflex moment
describe postural control in knee
LOG passes anterior to knee axis that creates an extension moment
posterior knee ligaments and posterior capsule will prevent hyperextension
soleus can also help by pulling tibia backwards
describe postural control in hip
LOG passes posterior to hip axis - creates posterior pelvic tilt
counteracted by anterior capsules and ligaments and the hip flexors
