Q

What is linear (translation) motion?

A

When all parts of a rigid body move parallel to and in the same direction as every other part of the body.

  • Can be rectilinear or curvilinear and is measured in meters or feet

Q

What is Arthrokinematics?

Describes the motion that occurs between joint surfaces.

In most joints, one surface is convex and one is concave.

Q

What is the benefit of the convex-concave relationship?

A
  1. Improves joint congruency
  2. Increases surfaces area for dissipating contact forces
  3. Helps guide motion between bones

18
Q

What determines the glide of a joint?

A

The convex-concave rule.

19
Q

Which direction will the glide of a joint occur if the joint surfaces are convex on concave?

A

It will move in the OPPOSITE direction.

20
Q

Which direction will the glide of a joint occur if the joint surfaces are concave on convex?

A

It will move in the SAME direction.

21
Q

Describe the closed-packed position.

A
  • It is the position of maximal congruency of a joint.
  • Typically seen near or at end range.
  • Most ligaments and capsule are taut and the joint is stable.
  • There is minimal accessory movement.
22
Q

Describe the loose-packed position.

A
  • It is the position with the least amount of congruency near midrange.
  • Ligaments and capsule on slack.
  • Allows for increased accessory movement
  • Often where joint mobility assessments are done.
23
Q

What is force? What are the different types of forces applied to MSK system?

A

Force = push or pull that produces, arrest, or modifies movement.

Types = unloaded, tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion, combined loading

24
Q

What 2 regions are included in the elastic region on the stress-strain curve?

A
  1. Toe region

2. Linear region

25
Q

Define the toe region and the linear region on the stress-strain curve.

A

Toe Region = area that must be drawn taut before tension is measured.

Linear Region = after slack is taken uo; linear relationship between stress and strain.

*If stretched within the elastic region, tissue will return to original length.

26
Q

What 2 points are included in the plastic regions of the stress-strain curve?

A
  1. Yield point

2. Ultimate failure point

27
Q

Define the yield point and the ultimate failure point on the stress-strain curve.

A

Yield point = elongation occurs beyond physiologic range

Ultimate failure point = point where tissue is partially or completely separated

28
Q

What are viscoelastic tissues in the MSK system dependent on?

A

Time and rate

29
Q

What is creep?

A

It is a property of viscoelasticity that describes progressive strain of a material that is exposed to a constant load over time.

Ex: Vertebral disc

30
Q

What is an internal force?

A

A force produced within the body. It can be active or passive.

31
Q

What is an external force?

A

A force produced outside of the body.

32
Q

What is a force vector?

A

A depiction of force drawn as an arrow specified by magnitude and direction.

33
Q

What is a moment arm?

A

The perpendicular distance between axis of rotation of the joint and the force.

*Product of force and its moment arm produce torque.

34
Q

What is internal torque?

A

A product if internal force and internal moment arm.

35
Q

What is an internal moment arm?

A

Perpendicular distance between axis of rotation and internal force.

36
Q

What is external torque?

A

A product of the external force and external moment arm.

37
Q

What is an external moment arm?

A

Perpendicular distance between axis or rotation and external force.

38
Q

Define a lever.

A

A simple machine with rigid rod suspended across pivot point.

39
Q

What is a pivot point?

A

A fulcrum.

40
Q

What are the dominant forces involved in MSK levers?

A
  1. Force produced by muscle
  2. Gravity
  3. Physical contact with the environment
41
Q

Define a 1st class lever.

A

When the axis of rotation is between the opposing forces.

Best designed for balance.

42
Q

Define a 2nd class lever.

A

When the axis of rotation is located at one end, resistance in middle and force at other end.
Rare in MSK system.

43
Q

Define a 3rd class lever.

A

When the axis is at one end with the force in the middle and resistance at the opposite end.
Most common lever in human body.
