Term
kinetics
Definition
study of forces causing movement
Term
cephalic-
Definition
close to the head
Term
ulnar
Definition
away from body, toward pinky finger
Term
radial
Definition
toward body
Term
curved end of bone?
Definition
metaphysis
Term
main shaft of bone
Definition
diaphysis
Term
what covers bone except for ends (metaphysis)?
Definition
peristeum (membrance) nerves, blood vessels for nourishment, growth & repair
Term
inside shaft of bone is the.....
Definition
medullary canal (hollow passage)
Term
difference betw compact and cancellous bones?
Definition
compact are hard, dense outer shell (skull); cancellous are pourous & spongy, lots of marrow so lighter (vertebrae)
Term
what is epiphysis of bone?
Definition
top & bottom ends; where growth occurs - in the epiphysis plate (p 15 pic)
Term
what is the flared out part and end of the diaphysis called?
Definition
metaphysis - mainly cancellous bone & supports the epiphysis
Term
example of sesamoid bone is
Definition
patella
Term
What is Wolff's Law of bones?
Definition
density higher in areas of higher stress and vice versa.
Term
name 4 types of bones
Definition
long - femur, humerus
short - cube - carpals, tarsals
flat-thin, curved - scapula
irregular-sacrum, vert
Term
what do osteoblasts do in bones?
Definition
growth
Term
synovial joint components:
Definition
capsule filled w/synovial fluid
free motion! knee, hip, elbow
Term
what is an end feel?
Definition
assessment when slight pressure applied at end of joint's passive ROM
Term
hard, abrupt limit at end of ROM is...
Definition
bony end feel (elbow)
Term
slight give when joint taken to end of ROM is _______
Definition
soft tissue stretch (hip, knee, ankle)
Term
when muscle bulk is compressed, action stopped is what kind of end feel?
Definition
soft end/tissue approx (big-armed people) elbow flexion
Term
what are abnormal end feels?
Definition
bony (early stop), spongy(wet sponge/spr ank, spasm, empty(pain), springy block (rebound/torn cartlg)
Term
what does osteokinematic motion a study of?
Definition
joint motion
Term
what does arthrokinematic motion look at?
Definition
joint SURFACE motion (slide, glide)
Term
sellar/saddle joint example
Definition
thumb -
Term
example of flat bone?
Definition
scapula
Term
a CONCAVE joint surface with move on a fixed CONVEX surface in the ....
Definition
same direction the body segment is moving
Term
open/loose packed position is:
Definition
least congruency & stability
joint separation; capsule, ligaments not taut high occur: sprain/strains
Term
close packed position is:
Definition
high congruency & stability
joint compression; capsule, ligaments taut
Term
what is the excursion of a muscle?
Definition
distance from max elongation to max shortening
Term
eccentric contraction:
Definition
attachments move farther apart
occurs with gravity
deceleration/lowering
Term
open chain activity means
Definition
distal segment can move while proximal segment is stationary (extend knee while seated. nothing else on leg moves)
Term
a closed chain activity is when you move one segment and the other segments _____
Definition
move too. (rise fr sit to stand, knees ext causing ank & hips support weight)
Term
What term for muscle contract until it cant contract farther even more ROM is possible?
Definition
active insufficiency
Term
wheelchair pushups: open or closed chain activity
Definition
closed. legs (distal segment) are fixed; proximal segment (arms) move
Term
what is all-or-none law of skeletal muscle contraction?
Definition
muscle fiber is capable of maximum contraction or no contraction at all
Term
when two or more forces act in different directions & result is turning effect, what is this?
Definition
fource couple (rotate scapula by pulling upper & lower trap)
Term
what helps person exact greater force than muscle alone?
Definition
lever
Term
increase in force usually at expense of speed is what?
Definition
mechanical advantage (crow bar, golf club)
Term
the ____ the force is from the axis (att. to bone) the ____ it is to move a load (resistance)
Definition
farther, easier
FA - longer it is means farther fr axis, easier to move
Term
example of a second class lever is
Definition
standing on tiptoes, wheel barrow. put load closer to axis (wheel), easier to move
Term
explain 3rd class lever
Definition
______F__R___
A
boat tied to dock ex. push fr farther away fr axis/dock, boat may not move as far but it will be easier to move.
Term
what is most common lever?
Definition
3rd level advantage: speed, distance
ex: elbow, hand, wrist - speed
ex: biceps - distance
Term
describe slow twitch muscles
Definition
slow but steady endurance
red
ex: cardiac muscle
Term
fast twitch muscle:
Definition
white
fast but fatigue easily
type II
Term
diff between aerobic & anaerobic activity?
Definition
aerobic: get energy fr stores fats, carbs. Prolonged energy
anaerobic: get from blood. short, brief, intense.
Term
tropomyosin & troponin are regulator proteins that do what?
Definition
prevent actin & myosin from combining in muscle fibers (myofilaments)
Term
what does calcium do?
Definition
helps neturalize tropmyosin and trhoponin so filaments can slide, release energy & contract muscle.
Term
what causes a muscle to contract? SHE does
Definition
Signal from motor nerve
Hormones
Electrical activity
Term
isotonic
Definition
put on isotoner gloves to flex muscle (shorten it) to lift load
Term
what is asynchronous muscle activity?
Definition
some motor units firing while others relax. when contract at same time (sustain prolonged contr) ex. postural muscles
