  8. Reflex Control – The Reflex Arc

  9. Reflex Control – Stretch Reflex

  10. Mobility Determined by Torque Output Factors that Affect Torque Output • Force • Moment arm • Point of force application (attachment site) • Angle of force application (muscle insertion angle)

  11. Muscle Attachments • Further from joint is better (theoretically) • Structural constraints negate #1 • Cannot alter attachment sites • Strength differences due, in part, to attachment differences

  12. Muscle Insertion Angle • 90 is better • MIA typically < 45 • MIA not constant through joint ROM, affecting strength through ROM • Cannot alter MIA • Strength differences due, in part, to MIA differences

  13. Understanding Moment Arm Changes Through ROM JA = 90° MIA = 90 ° JA = 45° MIA = 120 ° JA = 30° MIA = 150 ° JA = 150° JA = 120° MIA = 60 ° MIA = 30 °

  14. Understanding Moment Arm Changes Through ROM JA = 90° MIA = 90 ° JA = 45° MIA = 120 ° JA = 30° MIA = 150 ° JA = 150° MIA = 30 ° JA = 120° MIA = 60 °

  15. Understanding Moment Arm Changes Through ROM JA = 90° MIA = 90 ° JA = 45° MIA = 120 ° JA = 30° MIA = 150 ° JA = 150° MIA = 30 ° JA = 120° MIA = 60 °

  18. JA = 30° MIA = 150 ° JA = 45° MIA = 120 ° Understanding Rotational Effects Through ROM

  19. JA = 90° MIA = 20° JA = 120° MIA = 20° JA = 150° MIA = 20° JA = 45° MIA = 20° JA = 30° MIA = 20°

  21. Summary of System Level Rotational Function • Torque output varies across ROM • Variation depends on: • Force-length changes • Moment arm changes • Variation differs across muscles & joints

  22. Muscle Force for Joint Stability Joint stability for injury prevention determined by linear effects of muscle pull.

  23. JA = 120° MIA = 60 ° JA = 90° MIA = 90 ° JA = 150° MIA = 30 ° Understanding Linear Effects Through ROM

  24. JA = 30° MIA = 150 ° JA = 45° MIA = 120 ° Understanding Linear Effects Through ROM

  25. JA = 90° MIA = 20° JA = 120° MIA = 20° JA = 150° MIA = 20° JA = 45° MIA = 20° JA = 30° MIA = 20°

  26. System Level Stabilization Function • Stabilization role varies with • MIA • Bony structure • Other muscle forces • External forces

  30. Effects of External Forces

  31. System Level Function: Key Relationships • What is the relationship between MIA & moment arm (MA)? • What is the relationship between MIA & JA? • What is the relationship between JA & MA? • What is the role of the normal component? • What is the relationship between the normal component and the MIA? • What is the role of the tangential component? • What is the relationship between the tangential component and the MIA?

  32. General Structure & Function: Summary • Torque output of muscle is affected by anything that affects moment arm or force output of muscle organ. • Acute changes in torque through ROM dependent on force-length & MIA changes. • Chronic changes in muscle torque dependent on training effects on physiological, neural, and biomechanical factors that affect force.

  33. General Structure & Function: Summary • Muscle force for stabilization function determined by physiological, neural, and biomechanical factors that affect force as well as MIA. • Stabilization function defined by presence of • Bony structure • Other muscle forces • External forces

  40. System Level Structure and Function • General Structure & Function • Multiarticular Muscles • Muscle Actions • Muscle Coordination

  41. Related Terminology • muscle action – the development of tension (force) by a muscle • functional muscle group – a group of muscles that are capable of causing a specific joint action (e.g., wrist radial deviators) • motive force (or torque) – force causing the observed movement • resistive force (or torque) – force opposing the observed movement

  42. Types of Muscle Actions • Concentric • Eccentric • Isometric

  43. Concentric • Shortens to cause movement • Rotational movement • Mechanically: Net Muscle (Motive) Torque > Net Resistive Torque

  44. Eccentric • Lengthens to resist, control, or slow down movement • Rotational movement • Mechanically: Net Muscle (Resistive) Torque < Net Motive Torque

  45. Isometric • Stays the same so that bone will stay fixed • No movement • Mechanically: Net Muscle Torque = Other Torque Total Net Torque = 0

  46. System Level: Muscle Actions • Resulting motion dependent on all torques acting about the joint (net torque) Conditions for concentric? Eccentric? Isometric?

  47. Influence of Gravity & Speed • Downward (with gravity) • Upward (opposing gravity) • Horizontal (perpendicular to gravity) • Consider direction & speed of movement relative to gravity

  48. System Level Structure and Function • General Structure & Function • Multiarticular Muscles • Muscle Actions • Muscle Coordination

  49. Muscle Coordination: Roles that Muscles Play • Agonists • Antagonists • Stabilizers • Neutralizers
