movement analysis Flashcards
PUSH UP PHASE, from floor to plank
Scapula
Joint position/motion: Retracted, downwardly rotated and elevated moving into protraction, up rotation and (maybe..) depression
Muscle group Active: Serratus anterior, LT, UT force couple
PUSH UP PHASE, from floor to plank
Shoulder
Joint position/motion: Extended moving into 80-90 degrees of flexion/horizontal adduction
Muscle group Active: Pecs – clavicular portion mainly, anterior delt, biceps
Type of muscle contraction: concentric
PUSH UP PHASE, from floor to plank
Elbow
Joint position/motion: Flexed moving into extension
Muscle group Active: triceps
Type of muscle contraction: concentric
PUSH UP PHASE, from floor to plank
Wrist
Joint position/motion: extended
Muscle group Active: Co-contraction of wrist flexors and extensors
Type of muscle contraction: Isometric
PUSH UP PHASE, from floor to plank
Fingers
Joint position/motion: extended
Muscle group Active: Co-contraction
Type of muscle contraction: Isometric
STEP UP PHASE stepping up leg – start with foot on step
Pelvis
Joint position/motion: Neutral (maybe slight posterior pelvic tilt) moving to neutral
Muscle group Active: Passive due to flexion of hip
STEP UP PHASE stepping up leg – start with foot on step
Hip
Joint position/motion: Flexed moving to neutral extension
Muscle group Active: Glutes/hams
Type of muscle contraction: concentric
STEP UP PHASE stepping up leg – start with foot on step
Knee
Joint position/motion: Flexed moving to full extension
Muscle group Active: quads
Type of muscle contraction: concentric
STEP UP PHASE stepping up leg – start with foot on step
Ankle
Joint position/motion: Plantarflexion/Neutral to dorsi flexion to neutral depending on person
Muscle group Active: Eccentric gastrocs controlling DF as tibia advances over foot, to concentric gastrocs to pull back to neutral DF
STEP UP PHASE stepping up leg – start with foot on step
Foot
Joint position/motion: Neutral moving to pronation to neutral
Muscle group Active: Toe flexors, concentric;
Post. Tib eccentric if foot is pronating, FL/FB isometric
