Week 11 (EXAM 3) Flashcards
Explain ideal posture
For optimal posture, how does the LoG traverse joint axes?
Explain the LoG in optimal posture through cervical region, shoulder joint, COG, Hip joint, Knee joint, and ankle joint
Explain external and internal moments
Sagittal plane in standing: Is the LoG anterior/posterior and is the external moment flexion/extension for the atlanto-occipital, cervical, and thoracic segments?
Sagittal plane in standing: Is the LoG anterior/posterior and is the external moment flexion/extension for the lumbar, hip, knee, and ankle joints?
What is posture control?
Explain dynamic postural control
What are the postural control strategies?
1) ankle
2) hip
3) stepping
4) reaching/grasping
Explain the ankle strategy
Asses the ankle strategy: Which muscles would work in a 1) posterior perturbation? 2) anterior perturbation?
Explain the hip strategy
Asses the hip strategy: What would in a 1) posterior perturbation? 2) anterior perturbation
Explain the stepping strategy
Explain the reaching strategy
List important standing posture considerations
Define BOS, COM, COG, LoG
What mechanisms control posture?
What are some common pathomechanics of posture?
Explain kinetics of posture and assess how a slouched seated posture alters the LoG
List non pathological postural changes and explain closed chain kinematics as a result of misalignment
