Force & torque production for joint
mobility and stability through rotation and
translation of bones (segments)
Muscle Actions
Muscle Coordination (Synergy)
Related Terminology
 muscle action – the development of tension
(force) by a muscle
 functional muscle group – a group of muscles
that are capable of causing a specific joint
action (e.g., wrist radial deviators)
 motive force (or torque) – force causing the
observed movement
 resistive force (or torque) – force opposing the
observed movement
Types of Muscle Actions
Concentric
Eccentric
Isometric
Concentric
Shortens to cause movement
Rotational movement
Mechanically:
Net Muscle (Motive) Torque > Net Resistive Torque
Eccentric
Lengthens to resist, control, or slow down
movement
Rotational movement
Mechanically:
Net Muscle (Resistive) Torque < Net Motive Torque
Isometric
Stays the same so that bone will stay
fixed
No movement
Mechanically:
Net Muscle Torque = Other Torque
Total Net Torque = 0

Muscle Coordination:
Roles that Muscles Play
Agonists
Antagonists
Stabilizers
Neutralizers
Agonist (Mover)
 The role played by a muscle acting to
cause a movement
Prime movers
Assistant movers
Arbitrary distinction
 Force development during concentric action
 Relaxation during eccentric action
Antagonist
The role played by a muscle acting
to control movement of a body segment against
some other non-muscle force
to slow or stop a movement
 Force development during eccentric action
 Check ballistic movements
 Relaxation during concentric action
Stabilizer
 The role played by a muscle to stabilize
(fixate) a body part against some other
force
 rotary (joint) stabilizer
 linear (bone) stabilizer
 Isometric muscle action
Neutralizer
 The role played by a muscle to eliminate
an unwanted action produced by an
agonist
Scapular or pelvic stabilization
Multijoint muscles
Elevation of the humerus
 Muscle action varies
To perform a muscular analysis:
1. Break the skill into phases.
2. Determine the joint action?
3. Determine the motive force – muscle or
some other force?
4. Determine the resistive force – muscle
or some other force?
To perform a muscular analysis (ID
muscle actions and responsible
groups):
5. Identify whether there are joints/bones
that must be stabilized
6. Identify
 the FMG(s) that is(are) developing force
 the type of muscle action of the FMG(s)
 the roles played by the FMG(s)
7. Identify neutralization.

Stabilization?
1. Rotary stabilization

2. Linear stabilization
Neutralization?
1. To prevent scapular or pelvic movement
when moving humerus or femur
Shoulder girdle retractors
Shoulder girdle elevators
2. To prevent unwanted motion caused by
multijoint muscles
Shoulder extensors
Forearm pronators
Neutralization
3. To prevent scapular movement during
elevation of the humerus
4. Other?
 Biceps brachii – shoulder flexion, RU
supination
 Brachialis – none
 Brachioradialis – RU motion
 Pronator teres – RU pronation
Summary
Movement at a single joint is possible because
of the complex coordination that occurs
between numerous muscles.
Therefore, all those muscles must have
adequate strength to accomplish its task in a
given movement.
Injury to or lack of strength in any of those
muscles can result in the inability to perform the
movement.
Summary
A muscular analysis allows us to identify
the muscles that contribute to a
movement and how they contribute to the
movement.
We can then prepare conditioning &
rehabilitation programs that target utilized
muscles appropriately.
