Kinematics is the _______ of a segment ______ regard to forces that cause movement.
Kinematic Variables are (5)
Displacement or motion; without
Type, location, Direction, magnitude, rate
What are the 2 types of displacement?
Translatory- Linear displacement, rare in humans
Rotary- angular displacement, has a center of rotation
3 axis, corresponding plane, and direction
X axis- sagittal plane, flexion, extension
Y axis- transverse plane, int and ext rotation
Z axis- frontal plane, abduction, adduction
Speed Vs Velocity?
Speed- displacement per unit of time, regardless of direction
Velocity- displacement per unit of time in a given direction
External vs Internal Forces?
External forces- pushes or pulls from outside the body and DO NOT forget about gravity
Internal forces- forces that act on structures of the body from within the body, initiate movement
When masses of two or more segments are combined, the new COM vector is _____ and ____ with the original two COM vectors
If the segments are unequal in mass, the new COM vector will lie ____ to the heavier segment
Between and in line
Closer to the heavier segment
COM will typically be found where?
Anterior to S2
What is Newton’s First Law?
Law of Inertia, an object will continue in motion until a force causes the speed or direction to change
What is Newton’s Second Law?
Law of Acceleration, F=MA
What is Newton’s Third Law?
Two objects touching each other results in…
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Reaction Forces
Tensile Forces are created by ____ on the ______
It is ____ to the long axis of the segment/ object
opposite pulls on the same segment or object
Parallel
Joint Distraction Forces are ______ from the joint surface to which it is applied
It is _____ to its joint surface
directed away
perpindicular
Joint Reaction/ Compression Forces are when two body segments are _____ together and ______
Forces are _____ and directed toward the joint surface
pushed together and touch
perpindicular
Shear Forces is the action of the force is ____ to the contacting forces
It is applied in the _____ of movement
Parallel
SAME direction
Friction Forces is the action is ____ to the contact surfaces
It is applied in the _____ of movement
Parallel
OPPOSITE Direction
Isolated Force through COM?
Isolated Force NOT through COM?
Two equal and opposite forces?
Translation
Rotation and Translation
Rotation
What is the Equation for Torque?
Torque= Moment Arm (shortest perpendicular distance between forces) x Magnitude of Force
The greater the force or distance, the greater the torque
The direction of pull for any muscle is toward the _____ of the muscle
Movement occurs when the torque of a muscle______
CENTER
Exceeds opposing torques
Effort Force is ____ than the resistance force to ______
GREATER, to produce rotation
1st Class Lever System?
2nd Class Lever System?
3rd Class Lever System?
1st Class- Axis is between EF and RF
2nd Class- RF is between axis and EF, EF MA is larger
3rd Class- EF is between axis and RF, RF MA is larger
2nd class levers- MAd is____ and a _____ EF Required
But _____ angular displacement and velocity is gained
> 1, smaller EF required
Less
1st and 3r class levers- MAd is____ and a _____ EF Required
But _____ angular displacement and velocity is gained
<1, larger EF required
More
Open Chain vs Closed Chain
Open Chain- Distal segment is open to move, sitting knee flexion and extension
Closed Chain- Distal segment is fixed, leg press
Wolff’s Law: bones will adapt based on ____ or ____ placed on them
stress or demands
