A patient is completing a knee extension exercise. The patellar tendon inserts on the tibia 2.92 cm away from the knee joint axis of rotation. The foot is 40.38 cm away from the knee joint axis of rotation. What is the foots arc length through the exercise if the patellar tendon insertion moves through an arc length of 7.80 cm? Report you answer in meters.

Inflamed and swollen tendons caught in the narrow space between the bones within the shoulder joint cause the condition known as ____________________. impingement syndrome intermittent claudication
An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.
Which of these increases force production? 1. Increasing the velocity of the concentric contraction 2. Increasing the velocity of the eccentric contraction 3. Increasing strength of neural stimulation 4. Holding your breath during contraction 5. Increasing frequency of neural stimulation 6. Decreasing the velocity of the concentric contraction 7. Starting the contraction with the joint in full extension 8. Decreasing the velocity of the eccentric contraction
The antagonist for arm adduction at the shoulder joint is the 1. Deltoid 2. Brachialis 3. Pectoralis major 4. Triceps brachii
During a Physical Education class, you ask your students to perform a standing vertical jump. Identify the type of muscle contraction involved in the jump and describe the movement patterns of the concentric and eccentric phases. Outline the agonists, antagonists and synergist muscles, which contribute to maximum jump height. Identify the major lower body joints and joint movements, which contribute to the concentric phase of the jump.
Complete the table below based on the name of the muscle and the classification of the joint involved in performing the listed activities. Activity done Classification of joints according to structure and function. Name of the muscle/s involved in performing the activity 1. Chewing 2. Holding the spoon 3. Dorsiflexion
Discuss how the following exercises can help the body and explain how to execute each exercises 1. Reverse Crunches 2. Bridge 3. Reclined oblique twist Answer 1,2,3
Utilize the attached picture. She leads with her right leg. A. What motion is occurring in the left knee from A to B? B. What muscles are acting on the right knee from A to B? C. How is the knee musculature acting on the left knee from B to C? D. What plane of of motion is the exercise occurring in (lower extremity only)? E. What muscles are acting on the left knee joint from A to B? F. How is the right ankle musculature acting from A to B?
Locate and list two different pairs of muscles that act as on the body as agonist/antagonist. (That is, in each pair, one muscle will produce a movement, such as flexion, that the other muscle will undo, and produce extension; abduction/adduction, etc. are other ways that muscle produce opposite actions on the same part of the body).Name two muscles that act as “fixators.” (What are fixators?) What joint or joints are they helping to stabilize?Why is the biceps brachii called a “bicep,” while the triceps brachii is called a “triceps?”What is the difference between a muscle with “longus” as part of its name and a muscle with “brevis” as a part of its name?
Consider the importance of forearm position (pronation/supination) on the influence of the muscle providing force during flexion of the elbow. 1. Please outline which radioulnar/forearm position would be best to isolate each of the three main elbow flexors AND 2. provide a brief explanation of why hand position makes a difference.
Describe the movement in the sagittal plane for knee and hip in relation to the jump task in the plot.
Predict the consequences of an injury to each of the following knee ligaments for the function and range of motion of the knee. a. Anterior cruciate ligament b. Tibial collateral ligament c. Posterior cruciate ligament
