Week 5 Flashcards
The very first angle at the beginning of stance phase is called the
Angle at initial contact
The peak angle and the angle at initial contact can be the same angle
True
Angular excursion is the total range of motion the joint moves in a specific direction
True
Which of the following ankle kinematic patterns appear to be the most problematic in regards to running injury risk
Prolonged eversion
Why is looking at the knee flexion angle at initial contact important during a running analysis
Too much knee extension at initial contact increases stress on the knee
Which of the following is not a component of medial collapse
Hip abduction
Running kinematics are generally very similar for males and females suffering from patellofemoral pain
False
Landing with knee valgus during cutting is actually ok and not a risk factor for injury
False
Which of the following is not a sign of bad jump landing biomechanics
Elevated hip flexion
Which of the following is a hallmark of instability for any kinematic graph
Large and/or numerous spikes, dips and parabolas
What tools are required for 3D motion capture
Calibration wand
Reflective markers
Cameras
Measuring device
Software/computer
What 3 things have to be done for system calibration
Masking
Wave the wand
Set up origin
What is masking
Getting rid of all the reflective points in lab
Subject calibration depends upon
Anthropometrics
Marker set used
Stand in the middle of origin to take a picture
What anthropometric measures are required in plug in gait
Leg length Ankle width Knee width Height Weight
