Theory Flashcards
Coronal/Frontal Plane
Sagittal Axis
Abduction and Adduction
Transverse Plane
Longitudinal Axis
Rotation
Centre of Gravity of the body
Lies slightly anterior to the 1 or 2 sacral segment
Each persons is slightly different
Structure of skeletal muscle
100-150 muscles cells
Bound together by perimysium and form a bundle - fasciculus
Several fasciculi bound by perimysium and form a large unit
Units enclosed in epimysium to form a muscle
Central part of muscle - belly
Sheaths form tendons that attach to bone
Type 1/Red/Tonic Muscle
Slow twitch
Present in high numbers in stabilizers muscles
Have endurance
Type 2/White/Phasic
Fast twitch
Fatigue prone
High concentration of fibres in the mobilizers
Isometric Contraction
Contraction of the muscle in a static position
Isotonic contraction
Contraction of muscle through full ROM - concentric and eccentric contractions
Isokinetic Contraction
Contraction through full available ROM with resistance
Spondylolysis
Stress fracture in the region of the neural arch
Spondylitis thesis
Secondary to spondylitis
Slipping forward of one verterbrae on the one below
Spinal stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal
Sagittal Plane
Coronal/Frontal Axis
Extension and Flexion
