16
Q

Give an example of a first class lever?

A

First class levers are used in elbow extensions. The fulcrum will be in the middle (elbow joint), your effort will be on one end (the force of your triceps) and your load would be the weight of your hand.

17
Q

Give an example of a second class lever?

A

Second class levers are used in plantar flexion and dorsiflexion at the ankle while standing. The fulcrum will be at one end (toe joints) the effort on the other side (force of gastrocnemius) with the load in the center (body weight)

18
Q

Give an example of a third class lever?

A

Third class levers are used in elbow flexion. the effort is at the center (force of biceps) and the fulcrum (elbow joint) and load (weight of hand) on both sides.

19
Q

What is mechanical advantage?

A

How efficient it is at moving heavy loads.

20
Q

Formula for mechanical advantage>

A

mechanical advantage = effort arm / weight (resistance) arm

21
Q

A lever in the body with high mechanical advantage can move

A

large load with small effort from muscles. However it can only move the load short distances at low speeds.

22
Q

Second class levers have a …. mechanical advantage

A

high, the effort arm is longer than the weight arm.

23
Q

A lever with low mechanical advantage requires

A

large effort from the muscles to move a small load.

24
Q

Third class levers have a …. mechanical advantage?

A

low, the effort arm is shorter than the weight arm.

25
Q

Movements happen in

A

planes

26
Q

What is a plane>

A

is an imaginary flat surface that runs through the body.

27
Q

What are the 3 planes ?

A

Sagittal plane, Transverse plane, frontal plane.

28
Q

What is the sagittal plane?

A

divides the body into left and right sides. the flat surface goes through the back to the front.

29
Q

What is the transverse planes?

A

Divides the body into top and bottom

30
Q

What is the frontal plane?

A

it divides the body’s front and back and the flat surface goes from left to right.

31
Q

Movements happen around?

A

Axis?

32
Q

What is an axis?

A

Is a imaginary line which runs through the body

33
Q

What are the three types of axis?

A

sagittal axis, transverse axis, and longitudinal axis.

34
Q

What is sagittal axis?

A

line that runs through the body from front to back

35
Q

What is transverse axis>

A

line that runs through the body from left to right.

36
Q

What is longitudinal axis?

A

Runs through the body from top to bottom.

37
Q

What plane, axis, movements, and direction happen at flexion and extension

A

forwards and backwards
sagittal plane
transverse
running, forwards roll.

38
Q

What plane, axis, movements, and direction happen at abduction and adduction

A

left or right
frontal plane
sagittal axis
cartwheel

39
Q

What plane, axis, movements, and direction happen at rotation

A

clockwise or anticlockwise
Transverse plane
longitudinal axis
full twist jump and ice skating spin
