Study Notes
Muscle Contraction
- Concentric contraction: Muscle acts as the effort in a lever system
- Eccentric contraction: Muscle acts as the resistance in a lever system
- Isometric contraction: Muscle contracts to hold a position but does not change length
- Isotonic contraction: Muscle contracts and changes length
Levers and Resistance
- To make it more challenging to move a lever: Increase the amount of resistance or move resistance further from the fulcrum
- To make it easier to move a lever: Decrease the amount of resistance or move resistance closer to the fulcrum
Muscle Fiber Structure
- Muscle fibers are made up of myofibrils which contain sarcomeres
- Sarcomeres are made of thick and thin filaments
Muscle Tension
- Factors affecting active muscle tension:
- Diameter of the axon
- Number of muscle fibers of the motor unit recruited
- Number of motor units firing
- Frequency of supramaximal stimulus
Muscles and Movement
- Antagonist muscles: Work against each other
- Synergist muscles: Work together to help a movement
- Fixator muscles: Stabilize a joint while another joint is moving
Joint Receptors
- Muscle spindle: Sensitive to stretch and changes in muscle length
- Golgi tendon organ: Sensitive to increases in muscle tension from muscle contraction
Shoulder Joint
- Vertical stressors of the GH joint: Supraspinatus and gravity
Tennis Elbow
- Lateral epicondylitis: Pain at the lateral epicondyle with wrist extension and grip weakness
Wrist and Hand Anatomy
- Abductor pollicis longus: Located most laterally in relation to the wrist
- Scaphoid: Also known as the navicular
Hand Movements
- Ulnar deviation: Movement of the wrist toward the little finger, performed by Flexor Carpi Ulnaris (FCU) and Extensor Carpi Ulnaris (ECU)
- Jersey finger: Disruption of a tendon at, or near, the insertion of the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis muscle, typically requiring surgery within one week to address
- Mcp extension with flexion of the IP: This is the result of an isolated contraction of the extensor digitorum communis muscle.
Elbow Anatomy
- Humeroulnar joint: articulating surfaces include the Trochlear groove, Trochlear notch, and Capitate.
- Humeroradial joint: articulating surfaces include the Capitulum and the Ulnar radial notch
- Brachialis muscle: This muscle is located on the anterior side of the humerus, and is more active when the forearm is in a supinated position.
Wrist Pain
- Guyon's canal: Possible source of wrist pain with excessive use, located on the medial side of the wrist
- Carpal tunnel: Possible source of wrist pain with excessive use, located on the palm side of the wrist
