KP351 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Vastus Intermedius Muscle, Vastus Medialis, Biceps Femoris Muscle
Document Summary
Prime mover contributes the most to that movement. Stabilizers > acts on one segment so that a speci c movement on an adjacent joint can occur. Neutralizers > muscle contracts to eliminate undesired joint action of a mother muscle (movement / opposition) Stabilizers > medial side; common exor tendon / lateral side; common extensor tendon. Identify speci c segments that are bing moves and the movements, postures, and. Identify muscles used in the movement, posture, or stabilization. A force involved the interaction of two objects and produces a change in the state of motion of an object by pushing or pulling it. Direction: angle of pull for angle (relative to known reference (ex: horizontal)) Straight line of in nite length force being pulled along the line also has an angular component. Trigonometry: determine length and angles of triangles, pythagorian theorem (right-angle triangle only, sin law (for non right-angle triangles, cosine law (for non right-angle triangles.
