Q

Reversal of Muscle Action

Insertion to origin movement can be reversed and the origin can move toward the insertion if the closed kinetic chain position of the muscle changes

The proximal bone becomes more?

give an example

A

movable

Biceps – typically the insertion (forearm) moves toward the origin (humerus) BUT if you’re doing a pull up, the origin then moves toward the insertion

Q

Length Tension Relationship:

these Usually have enough length to allow the joint’s full ROM

A

1 joint muscles

32
Q

Length Tension Relationship:

these DO NOT have sufficient length to allow full ROM of every joint that it crosses

A

2 joint muscles

33
Q

2 joint muscles actually works to our advantage. Two joint muscles have a larger advantage and contractile force because they what?

A

elongate over one joint and contract over another joint

  • They are able to maintain an optimal length/tension relationship
34
Q

Muscular Insufficiency: which one?

the muscle cannot shorten any farther. This happens to the agonist or actively contracting muscle.
Knee flexion in stance, example 5-7 in your book

A

Active insufficiency

35
Q

Muscular Insufficiency: which one

the muscle cannot be lengthened any farther. This happens to the antagonist or the muscle that is relaxed

  • Trying to touch your toes with your knees extended (hamstrings are elongated over 2 joints, the hip and knee)
  • Then try to touch with your knees bent, you can increase your range of motion, but you decrease your tension on the hamstrings. (hamstrings are being stretched over only 1 joint)
A

Passive insufficiency

36
Q

what is performed on relaxed muscles to lengthen the muscle or regain its normal resting length

  • Will be covered in your Therapeutic Exercise course
A

Stretching

37
Q

This is the functional use of passive insufficiency and is primarily found in the wrist.

  • As the wrist extends, the fingers will passively flex and as the wrist flexes, the fingers will passively relax
A

Tenodesis

Used mainly in patients that have endured a spinal cord injury and is a compensatory movement to allow for functional independence

38
Q

Three kinds of muscular contraction:

A
  1. Isometric
  2. Isotonic
  3. Isokinetic
39
Q

what type of contraction?

muscle contracts, producing force without changing the length of the muscle

  • Seen frequently with manual muscle testing
A

Isometric

40
Q

what type of contraction?

muscle contracts, changes the length of the muscle and joint angle

A

Isotonic

41
Q

what type of contraction?

less common and is completed with special machines where speed stays the same but the resistance changes
Can alter or change the resistance given to the subject

A

Isokinetic

42
Q

Isotonic Muscular Contraction:

this occurs where there is joint movement and the muscle shortens and the origins and insertions of the muscles move towards each other

A

Concentric contraction

43
Q

Isotonic Muscular Contraction:

occurs where there is joint motion but the muscle appears to be lengthening and the origins and insertions of the muscles move away from each other

A

Eccentric contraction

44
Q
  • Muscle attachments move closer together
  • Movement is usually occuring against gravity
  • Is an acceleration activity
A

Concentric Contractions

45
Q
  • Muscle attachments move farther apart
  • Movement occurs with gravity or a lowering motion
  • Motion is a deceleration activity
A

Eccentric Contractions

46
Q

a muscle in a muscle group that causes the motion

  • Stirs the pot
  • Sometimes referred to as the prime mover
A

The Agonist

47
Q

the muscle that performs the opposite motion of the agonist

  • Keeps things from going crazy
  • When this contracts at the same time a
  • co-contraction results
  • Usually lets the agonist do its job
A

The Antagonist

48
Q

a muscle or muscle group that supports or makes structures firm and allows the agonist to work more efficiently

  • Core muscles in particular
A

The Stabilizer

49
Q

contracts to prevent unwanted motion if a muscle can perform two or more actions

  • Biceps can flex the elbow and supinate the forearm so the pronator teres neutralizes the supination component of the biceps
A

The Neutralizer

50
Q

a muscle that works in conjunction with another muscle and enhances the movement of the prime mover

A

The Synergist

51
Q

Angle of Pull:

The angular position of the muscle will determine the roll the muscle will play in the ________of the joint

A

motion

52
Q

Angle of Pull:

Other factors determining whether a mm plays a major or minor role are ___1____,_____2____ of the muscle in relation to the joint axis, and ____3______possible at that joint

A
  1. size
  2. location
  3. motions
53
Q

Angle of Pull:

  • If the fibers of a muscle run diagonally how will muscles move?
    • Biceps vs pronator teres (both cross the elbow & insert on the radius)

as opposed to

  • If the fibers of a muscle run horizontally, how will muscles move?
    • Take the rhomboids for example
A
  1. the diagonal line of pull is the resultant force of a vertical force and a horizontal force.
  2. muscles with a greater vertical angle of pull will be effective in pulling up or down.

as opposed to

  1. a greater horizontal pull will be more effective in pulling the scapula in or out.

muscles with a more equal horizontal and vertical pull will have a role in both motions

54
Q

The ability of the body to transform stereotyped angular motions of joints into more efficient curvilinear motion of parts

A
