Presentation Transcript

  1. Kinesiology Laboratory 6: Activity Analysis of the Upper Extremity and Trunk

  2. Today’s Activities • Presentation of Lower Extremity Exercises • Vectors • Activity Analysis • Baseball Swing [Leading Arm]

  3. Presentations • Remember to pay attention and TAKE NOTES • These exercises will be on the FINAL PRACTICAL

  4. Vector Analysis • Force vectors give the magnitude and direction of muscle and joint force needed to move a load. They also have two key components, a point of application and line of action. • Magnitude (how much force) is designated by the length of the vector • Direction (of force) is designated by the direction of the arrow • Point of application is where the force is applied (typically the center of the muscle’s attachment) • Line of action is the infinite line at which the force is acting.

  5. Vector Components Hamill & Knutzen, 2009

  6. 2-Dimensional Vectors • When looking at muscle vectors in two dimensions (i.e. on one plane) it is the result of two components • Horizontal Component: • Stabilizing component: degree of parallel forces generated on the lever (bone and joint) when the muscles angle of pull is less than 90 degrees. • Dislocating component: degree of parallel forces generated on the lever (bone and joint) when the muscle's angle of pull is greater than 90 degrees. • Vertical Component/ Rotary Component: • Force of a muscle contributing to bone's movement around a joint axis; greatest when muscles angle of pull is perpendicular to bone (i.e. 90 degrees).

  7. Drawing Muscle Vector Components • 1. Begin at the axis • 2. Draw the Horizontal component • - Parallel to Lever • - Start at muscle insertion • 90˚ all rotary (movement force) • > 90˚ Dislocating (force generated away form joint) • < 90˚ Stabilizing (force generated towards joint) • 3. Draw Vertical Component • - Perpendicular to Horizontal Component • - Start at muscle insertion • 4. Draw vectors ONLY long enough to make a perpendicular angle to the resultant vector.
