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 |
