LECTURE 1- biomechanical applications to joint structures and fucntions Flashcards
what is the Displacement or motion of a segment without regard to forces that cause movement
kinematics
what type of displacement is translatory
• Linear displacement
• Movement of segment in a straight line
• Rare in human movement
what type of displacement is rotary
• Angular Displacement
• Movement of segment around a fixed axis (COR)
wha tytpe of displacement is general motion
translation + rotation
majority of human movement
what plan and direction is in the coronal (x-axis)
sagittal plane and flexion and extension
what type of axis and direction is in the transverse plane
vertical (y axis)
IR and Er
what type of plane and axis is abduction and abduction
anterposterior (z-axis_
frontal plan
what is displacement per unit of time, regardless of direction
spped
what is displacement per unit of time in a given direction
velocity
what is a force
push or a pull exerted by one object on another
what is considered to be touching all objects
gravity
what type of force is an external force
•Pushes or pulls arising from outside the body
what is a constant external force; should always be considered first
gravity
what is Forces that act on structures of the body and arise from within the body
internal forces
examples of internal force
muscles
ligaments
tendons
If the segments are unequal in mass, the new COM vector will lie closer to the ____ segment.
heavier
where is the COM found
anterior to S2
where will the base of support lie
between their feet
a wider BOS will ___ stability
a lower COM will ____ stability a
increase 2x
what is static equilibrium
object remains at rest
what is dynamic equilibrium
objects moves at a constant velocity
balanced forces results in ___
equilibrium
unbalanced forces result in ____
acceleration
what law states An object will continue in current motion until a force causes the speed or direction to change
Law of Inertia - Newtons 1st law
When the sum of the forces or torque do not equal 0, then the object must be ____
accelerating.
If there is only ONE force, there cannot be ______
equilibrium
what law states the force of a object is equal to its max times its accelerations
law of accelerations - newtons 2n claw
