Assessment Skills - Factors Influencing Movement
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Lack of barriers that prevent user from accessing the service, product or information | Accessibility |
Ability of user to access features of environment and use environment for its intended purpose | Negotiability |
Design of products and environment to be usable by all people w/o adaptation | Universal Design |
Only ___ can actively generate internal forces | Muscles |
Passive internal forces generated by... | Tension in tendons, connective tissue, ligaments, joint capsules |
Examples of external forces | Resistance of air or water, direct contact via normal reaction (Newton's 3rd Law), friction, gravity |
Force that results from resistance b/n surfaces of two objects from moving upon one another | Friction |
Three kinds of friction | Static, kinetic, rolling |
Point around which body's mass is evenly distributed | Center of gravity (COG) |
Two terms r/t quantitative/magnitude of motion | Rotary motion and translatory/linear motion |
Measured in degrees around axis | Rotary motion (aka angular motion) |
Measured in linear distance through which object has traveled | Linear motion |
Actual distance object is displaced from original point of reference | Displacement |
Actual sum of length of measurement traveled | Distance |
Object rotates around axis while axis being translated through space by motion of adjacent segment | General plane movement |
Muscle or tendon goes around bony prominence and changes the movement result or angle of pull | Anatomic pulley |
Characteristics of force | Magnitude, direction, point of application |
Pushing both sides of joint towards center; orrcurs naturally (walking) and intentionally (UE weightbearing) | Joint compression |
Pulling the two joint surfaces apart; occurs naturally (carrying heavy bag) and intentionally (hanging from bar) | Joint distraction (traction) |
Forces occur parallel to joint surface | Shear |
Ability to control equilibrium; when center of gravity falls within base of support | Balance |
State of zero acceleration where no change in speed or direction of body | Equilibrium |
Resistance to change in body's acceleration and/or disturbance of body's equilibrium; enhanced by determining body's COG and appropriately changing it. | Stability |
Point at which all body's mass and weight are equally balanced or equally distributed in all directions | Center of gravity |
Avg center of gravity for human | Anterior to 2nd sacral vertebrae below belly button |
Affects of balance | Size of base, relation of line of gravity to base, weight (mass) of body, and relation of height to center of gravity |
How is stability increased? | Enlarging size of base of support in direction of anticipating force |
Balance is aided by... | Rotation on axis (ex: bicycle) |
Three of Newton's Laws (mechanics) | Law of inertia, acceleration (motion), action-reaction (force parts) |
Law of Inertia | Body in motion tends to remain in motion at same speed in straight line unless acted on by force; body at rest tends to remain at rest unless acted on by force |
Law of Acceleration | Acceleration of object is proportional to unbalanced forces acting upon it and inversely proportional to mass of body |
Law of Reaction | For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction |
Law of Reaction (more) | When force acts on object and object remains stationary, there is an equal force acting on the object in opposite direction. |
Mechanical advantage | Load divided by effort |
Lever | Rigid bar that turns around axis of rotation, as result of force being applied against resistance; has 3 components: axis, force, resistance) |
First class lever | FAR; arms generally = |
2nd class lever | ARF; force arm usually longer than resistance arm |
3rd class lever | AFR; resistance arm usually longer than force arm |
