levers planes and axis Flashcards
equation of mechanical advantage
mechanical advantage=effort arm/ resistance arm
effort
force applied to move the load
fulcrum
the fixed point or axis on the lever
load
the weight that the lever is moving
rule no 1 in mechanical advantage
when the effort arm is shorter than the load arm it is low mechanical advantage
rule 2 i. mechanical advantage
when the effort arm is longer than the load it is high mechanical advantage
saggital plane movement
flexion and extension
transverse plane movement
rotation
frontal plane movement
abduction and adduction
plane
is an imaginary line the shows direction of movement
axis
imaginary line through the body around which it rotates
what pairs with longitudinal axis
transverse plane
what pairs with transverse axis
saggital plane
what pairs with saggital axis
frontal plane
1sr class lever
fulcrum in the middle
