biaxial joints and example of one in the body
.moves within two planes and axis
.2 degrees of freedom
.ex: wrist and MCP joint
uniaxial joints and example of one in the body
.moves within one plane and axis
.1degree of freedom
.ex: elbow
triaxial joint and example in the body
.moves within 3 planes and axis
.3 degrees of freedom
.ex: shoulder and hip
open kinetic chain exercise
.distal segment is open (free) and poximal side is fixed
.Ex: chest press
closed kinetic chain exersize
.proximal segment is open and distal segment is fixed
.ex: leg press
Principles that determine stability
.center of gravity
.base of support
.line of gravity
flexion
.occurs in the sagittal plane about a frontal axis
.bringing anterior limb segments toward each other
extension
.occurs in the sagittal plane about a frontal axis
.bringing anterior limb segments away from each other
abduction
.occurs in the frontal plane about a sagittal axis
.movement away from midline
adduction
.occurs in the frontal plane about a sagittal axis
.movement toward the midline
medial rotation
.occur in the horizontal plane on a vertical axis
.when anterior surface of limb turn toward midline
lateral rotation
.occur in the horizontal plane on a vertical axis
.when anterior surface of limb turn away from midline
sagittal plane
divides body into left and right
frontal plane
divides body into anterior and posterior
horizontal plane
divides into superior and inferior
sagittal axis
passes through front to back
frontal axis
passes through side to side
vertical axis
passes though superior to inferior
at what angle should moment arm and angular force be at to create the most torque?
90 degrees
1st class lever
.axis between R and F
.ex: nodding the head
2nd class lever
resistance between axis and force
ex: calf raise
3rd class lever
force between axis and resistance.
ex: bicep curl
Base of support
area encompassed by a bodys contact with supporting surfaces
center of gravity
point at which gravity acts on the center of mass
