58
Q

What is the yield point of stress strain curve?

A

  • the tissue doesn’t return to normal and is deformed
59
Q

What is viscoelasticity?

A

property of material that changes along the stress strain curve as a function of time
- ex. taffy, slowly stretch, if you pull very quickly it won’t do anything

60
Q

definition of creep

A

a progressive strain of a material when exposed to a constant load over time and eventually can break

61
Q

How does rate of loading impact stress strain curve?

A

if you’re loading something very fast this has more resistance to deformation

62
Q

explain the stress strain curve with examples

A
  • taffy example: if you slowly start to stretch taffy, you are able to pull on it and create a bridge of taffy between your two hands. as you pull your hands apart, this is the plastic elastic region. when the bridge of taffy gets very thin, you enter the plastic region where the taffy is likely to break. finally you hit the yield point where the bridge of the taffy breaks and you’re left with taffy split in half
63
Q

What are internal forces?

A

forces produced from structures within the body and may be active or passive

64
Q

What are external forces?

A

forces produced by sources outside of the body

  • passive are connective tissue (usually restrain motion)
66
Q

What are examples of external forces?

72
Q

What is angle of insertion?

A

angle between the tendon of the muscle and the bone insertion

73
Q

What is static linear equilibrium?

A

the sum of all forces acting on the segment is zero because forces are balanced

74
Q

How many times greater is internal than external force and what does this mean?

A
  • 3x greater
  • to hold your forearm at 90 deg., your bicep has to work 3x as hard as gravity
75
Q

What is the equation for work and torque

A

work = force x distance
torque = force x resistance

76
Q

What is a concentric muscle activation?

A

occurs as a muscle produces a pulling force as it contracts (shortens) usually an acceleration

77
Q

What is an isometric muscle activation?

A

occurs when a muscle is producing a pulling force when maintaining a constant length

78
Q

What is an eccentric muscle activation?

A
  • occurs as a muscle produces a pulling force as it is being elongated by a more dominant force (lengthening)

79
Q

93
Q

stiffness

A

ratio of stress (force) to strain (elongation) within an elastic material

94
Q

contrast the fundamental difference between kinematics and kinetics

A
  • kinematics describes motion but doesn’t look at or include force/torque
  • kinetics describes motion by examining the impact of the torque/force on the body
95
Q

contrast the difference between force and torque
(use each term to describe an aspect of a muscle’s contraction relative to a joint)

A
  • force is a push or a pull in a straight line that can stop or start a motion
  • torque is a force that occurs in a rotation around an axis
  • a contraction force produced by the elbow flexor muscles can create compression within the elbow joint. the torque produced by the elbow flexor muscles can produce angular acceleration of the elbow which brings your hand to your mouth
96
Q

define and contrast internal and external torque with an example

A
  • internal torque is a torque produced around a joint by an internal force (muscle contracting)
  • external torque is a torque produced around a joint caused by an external force (gravity)
  • when opposing internal and external torques about a joint are equal, the joint is often described as being in static rotary equilibrium. if the internal and external torques were not equal, the joint would accelerate in the direction of the larger torque
