Study Notes
End-Feels
- Hard End Feel means that the movement is restricted by bone contacting bone
- Soft End Feel means that movement is stopped by soft tissue compression.
- Firm End Feel is a springy sensation that is caused by muscle or capsular stretching.
- Empty End Feel means that movement is stopped by pain before the end of range of motion.
Muscle Roles
- Agonist muscles are the prime movers and contract to produce desired motion, they can be concentric, eccentric, or isometric.
- Antagonist muscles perform the opposite action of the agonist muscle.
- Synergist muscles help the agonist muscle to produce the desired motion.
- Stabilizers muscles keep a joint steady while other movements take place.
Open Chain vs Closed Chain
- Open Kinematic Chain describes joints moving freely with no external resistance
- Closed Kinematic Chain describes joints that are stopped by external resistance
- The chain can be made up of linked segments (for example, the pelvis, thigh, leg and foot).
Muscle Force Generation
- Isometric Force involves muscle force without any change in muscle length, where muscle torque is equal to load torque,
- Concentric Force involves muscle force with shortening of the muscle, where muscle torque is greater than the load torque.
- Eccentric Force involves muscle force with the lengthening of the muscle, where muscle torque is less than the load torque.
Prolonged Activity Changes
- Prolonged Activity leads to a muscle hypertrophy effect and increased cross-sectional area (CSA), increasing muscle force, with Type II muscle fibers changing more than Type I.
- Prolonged Disuse leads to an atrophy effect and decreased cross-sectional area (CSA), with Type I muscle fibers changing more than Type II.
Movement Continuum Theory
- Movement is described through specific planes and axes.
- Movements can be described as translation (linear movement) or rotation (angular movement).
- Movements can be active,passive or active-assisted and are defined by the role of the person and the way that they move.
- The convex-concave rule describes the relationship between the joint surfaces and the type of movement.
