Study Notes

Course Overview

Focus on understanding human movement and forces affecting the body for injury prevention, functional restoration, and performance optimization.

Kinesiology

The study of human movement emphasizes beauty and scientific principles of motion.

Cardinal Planes

Reference Position: Standard anatomical position where body parts are oriented forward, palms facing forward, and fingers extended.

Three Cardinal Planes

Frontal (Coronal) Plane:
- Divides body into front and back.
- Motion includes abduction/adduction at joints.
Sagittal (Midsagittal) Plane:
- Divides body into left and right.
- Motion includes flexion/extension and dorsiflexion/plantarflexion.
Transverse (Horizontal) Plane:
- Divides body into upper and lower parts.
- Motion includes medial/lateral rotation, pronation/supination, and eversion/inversion.

Kinematics and Kinetics

Kinematics: Study of motion without considering forces, divided into osteokinematics and arthrokinematics.
Kinetics: Focuses on forces producing or resisting movement.

Degrees of Freedom

Joints can move in multiple planes with maximal freedom found in shoulder and hip joints (three degrees).

Types of Motion

Translatory Motion: Motion along or parallel to an axis (e.g., elevator moving straight).
Curvilinear Motion: Object travels in a curved path (e.g., tossing a ball).
Rotary (Angular) Motion: Occurs around an axis (e.g., spinning on a turntable).

Kinematic Chains

Open Kinematic Chain (OKC): Distal segment moves independently in space (e.g., kicking a ball).
Closed Kinematic Chain (CKC): Distal segment is fixed, requiring proximal segments to move (e.g., push-ups).

Arthrokinematics

Examines movements between articulating joint surfaces, vital for normal joint function.

Joint Surfaces

Ovoid Surface: Common in synovial joints where concave and convex relationships impact movement.
Sellar Surface: Features both convex and concave surfaces (e.g., thumb joint).

Positional Terms

Open Pack Position: Joint surfaces are not congruent, allowing for slack.
Close Packed Position: Joint surfaces fit perfectly, promoting stability and requiring less muscular force to maintain position.

Forces in Motion

Newton's Laws of Motion:
- First Law: A body at rest remains at rest unless acted upon; motion remains constant unless affected by an external force.
- Second Law: Acceleration is proportional to net forces acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass.
- Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Levers in Motion

Types of Levers:
- First-Class Lever: Fulcrum between force and resistance (e.g., neck joint).
- Second-Class Lever: Resistance between force and fulcrum (e.g., wheelbarrow).
- Third-Class Lever: Force between fulcrum and resistance, common in the human body, allowing greater range of movement.

Force Vectors

Characteristics include magnitude and direction; they can be combined to determine resultant forces acting on the body or segments.

Torque

Defined as the effectiveness of a force in producing rotation, calculated as the product of force and distance to the axis of motion.

Significance of Motion Dynamics

Understanding forces, degrees of freedom, and motion types is crucial for analyzing human movement and developing efficient movement strategies in clinical practice and sports science.### Muscle Fiber Types
Muscles may consist of varying proportions of type I (slow twitch) and type II (fast twitch) fibers, which can change due to activity levels and hormone influences over a lifetime.
Type I fibers resist fatigue and support sustained activities, while type II fibers produce rapid force and power but have lower endurance.

Muscle Function and Roles

Agonist: The prime mover muscle responsible for a specific action.
Antagonist: Opposes the action of the agonist, often inactive during the primary activity to allow movement.
Synergist: Assists the agonist in performing an action and stabilizes other muscles.

Muscle Characteristics

Viscosity: Resistance of muscle tissue to deformation; reducing temperature increases viscosity, while applying heat decreases it.
Elasticity: The ability to stretch and return to original shape; more elastic tissues have greater extensibility but lower viscosity.
Extensibility: Ability to stretch; greater extensibility results in less viscosity.

Stress-Strain Curve

Toe region: Tissue displays a crimped appearance, taking up slack under stress.
Plastic range: Results in permanent tissue change; continued stress leads to micro-ruptures.
Creep: The gradual elongation due to a sustained low-level load.

Muscle Strength Factors

Influenced by muscle size, architecture, passive components, moment arm length, and speed of contraction.
Larger cross-sectional muscles generate greater force and can experience hypertrophy with exercise or atrophy with inactivity.

Length-Tension Relationships

Muscles demonstrate optimal tension at resting length; active tension declines when muscles shorten past optimal length due to fewer actin-myosin cross bridges.

Gender and Age Differences

Males typically possess greater muscle mass post-puberty, leading to about 50% more muscle mass than females.
Muscle strength peaks between ages 20-30 and declines thereafter, with developmental differences between genders.

Active and Passive Insufficiency

Active insufficiency occurs when a multijoint muscle is at its shortest length, preventing effective force production.
Passive insufficiency arises when a muscle is stretched over multiple joints, limiting shortening potential.

Exercise-Induced Muscle Injury

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) typically begins 24 hours post-activity, lasting up to 10 days, potentially reducing range of motion and force output significantly.

Shoulder Complex Anatomy

Composed of 20 muscles, 3 bony articulations, and 3 soft tissue surfaces, enabling extensive mobility.
Functions include stabilizing the glenohumeral joint, allowing diverse hand placements, and facilitating body elevation and respiration.### Shoulder Girdle Structure
Manubrium connects left and right clavicles to the axial skeleton.
Glenoid fossa faces anteriorly, tilted 30° to 45° from the frontal plane; significantly affects shoulder movement.
Scapula is tipped 10° to 20° in the sagittal plane, with the superior aspect more anterior than the inferior angle.

Clavicle Characteristics

S-shaped and slightly elevated at 20° to the frontal plane, acts as a lateral strut to enhance glenohumeral mobility.
Ends of the clavicle: convex at the sternal end, concave at the acromial end; contributes to shoulder range of motion.

Humeral Head Positioning

Positioned medially and superiorly in the frontal plane, with a posterior rotation in the transverse plane.

Movements of the Shoulder Girdle

Elevation: Scapula slides upward; clavicle elevates about 60° at the SC joint.
Depression: Scapula moves downward; minimal range (5° to 10°) from seated position.
Protraction (Scapular Abduction): Scapula moves anteriorly; lateral border extends 5-6 inches (13-15 cm) from the midline.
Retraction (Scapular Adduction): Scapula moves posteriorly towards the midline.

Joint Types in the Shoulder Girdle

True Joints:
- Sternoclavicular (SC) Joint: Connects upper extremity with the axial skeleton; has 3 degrees of freedom.
- Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint: 3 degrees of freedom, facilitating shoulder mobility.
- Glenohumeral (GH) Joint: Major ball-and-socket joint providing extensive range of motion.
False/ Pseudo Joint:
- Scapulothoracic Joint: Lacks bony articulation; relies on soft tissue connections.

Sternoclavicular Joint Mechanics

Acts as a strut with elevation and depression movements occurring in the frontal plane.
Elevation: clavicle moves upward-backward (30-45°), limited by costoclavicular ligament and subclavius.
Depression: clavicle moves forward-downward (5-10°), limited by interclavicular and superior capsule ligaments.
Arthrokinematics involve the convex shape of the clavicle rolling and sliding; stability provided by ligaments.

Acromioclavicular Joint Mechanics

Plane joint allowing 3 degrees of freedom; medial face of acromial end helps accommodate arm movements.
Facilitates dynamic movement of the shoulder, enhancing function during activities requiring arm mobility.
