Movement of Forces Flashcards
Internal forces
musculoskeletal, vestibular, proprioception, vision
External Forces
wind, water, friction, gravity
Buoyancy
Upward force-weight of displaced liquid
Drag
Resistance due to pressure or speed
Lift
Change in pressure due to differences in air or liquid flow around an object
Friction
force acting in the opposite direction. Ex: sitting on a seat, massage, striking match, shoes. Is reduced using rolling wheels
Shear forces
Bone and tissue move one way, skin moves the other way, can lead to skin breakdown.
isometric
a muscle contraction that involves no change in a muscle length
isotonic
a muscle contraction that involves a change in a muscles’ length
Concentric contraction
a muscle contraction whereby the length of a muscle decreases
Eccentric contraction
a muscle contraction whereby the length of a muscle increases
Sagittal Plane
any vertical plane that divides the body into left and right flexion and extension. Medial , lateral
Frontal Plane
any vertical plane that divides the body or its parts into anterior and posterior sections. Abduction and adduction.
Transverse plane
Upper and lower parts superior and inferior. Rotation. Rotation cervical spine, external rotation, internal rotation,
Axis
runs perpendicular to a plane
Fibrous joint
has no synovial cavity . Sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses.
Cartilaginous joints
lacks a synovial cavity and permits little or no movement. Synchrondoses and symphyses.
Hinge Joint
ankles, elbows, fingers. Swinging back and forth. Uniaxial joint.
Pivot joint
pronating forearm proximal radioulnar joint. Rotation of head first and second cervical vertebrae(atlantoaxial joint).
Ellipsoid joint
Wrist(radoiocarpal) joint biaxial joint
Saddle joint
biaxial joint articulation between trapezium small carpal bones in wrist. First metacarpal bones of your thumb. side to side motions.
Ball and socket
hip(coxal) and shoulder (glenohumeral) Triaxial joint. Three planes.
Gliding
Joints between carpal bones in the wrist and tarsal bones in your foot. non axial joint.
