MSK Flashcards
First Class Lever
2 forces are applied on either side of an axis
Ex: Elbo with contraction of the triceps
Second Class Lever
Resistance lies between the effort force and the axis of rotation
Ex: few examples in the body, toe raises
Third Class Lever
The effort forces lies closer to the axis than the resistance force
Ex: Most muscles in human body are 3rd class levers, elbow flexion
Arthrokinematics
Movement between joint surfaces
Osteokinematics
movement between two bones
Convex-Concave Rule
- Convex surface moving on a fixed concave surface, the convex moves opposite to the direction of the shaft of the bony lever
- Concave surface moves on a fixed convex surface, the concave articulating surface moves in the same direction as the bony lever
