Week 1 Flashcards
what are the 4 forms of motion
Linear
Angular
General
Biomechanical system
Define linear motion
Any parts moving in the same direction and speed
Define angular motion
Movement around a central axis
Define general motion
Combination of linear and angular motion
Define biomechanical system motion
Combination of linear and angular motion
3 type of axises
X
Y
Z
Define X and Y axis
Y axis is the vertical axis in mediolateral direction
X axis is the horizontal axis in anterioposterior direction
name and define the 3 planes
Transverse - inferior and superior
frontal - anterior and posterior
sagittal - medial and lateral
3 components of a lever system
àxis of rotation
resistance arm
effort arm
Define 1st class lever
Axis in the middle of the effort and resistance
Define 2nd class lever
Resistance force is in the middle of the axis and the effort force
Define 3rd class lever
Effort force is in the middle of the axis and the resistance force
Mechanical advantage equation
Effort arm / resistance arm
speed advantage equation
Resistance arm / effort arm
Equilibrium equation
Effort x effort arm = resistance x resistance arm
