The intervertebral joint includes
interbody joint/?
and
facet, or apophyseal, zygoapophyseal
Skeletal muscle has two distinct roles as
Skeletal stabilizer: generating appropriate amount of force at a given length, equal forces create isometric action

Skeletal mover: force modulation
Skeletal muscle percentage of body weight
40-45%
Two forms of muscle morphology
Parallel: includes Fusiform
Penniform: fibers approach central tendon obliquely, can be uni, bi, or multi
Having penniform vs. fusiform muscle morphology affects
amount of shortening possible (affects speed of segment endpoint)

Amount of force generation possible
epimysium surrounds
Perimysium...
Endomysium
whole muscle, e.g. coracobrachialis
Fasicle
individual muscle cell/fiber
Role of connective tissue within the muscle
6 things
gross structure
conduit for vessels and nerves
passive tension
helps muscle regain shape
transmits force, linking muscles into polyarticular muscle chains
Communication? signalling system to help control movement
includes diaphram, iliacus, psoas, TFL, vastus lateralis, biceps femoris

clinical significance
Anterior Interior Chain

Rehabilitating key movement patters instead of individual muscles... greater effect

Awesome example with knee pain guy
Reflects the amount of contractile protein available to generate force
physiological cross-sectional area

perpendicular to fiber orientation
What happens to the angle of pennation when tension on the tendon increases?
it increases
Why do pennate muscles produce greater maximal force than fusiform muscles of similar size (in general)?
The PCSA is more important than the pennation angle for force production, so more fibers even though each one contributes less force in the desired direction
What does the active tension curve look like in isometric tension with increasing length?`
like a hill, with the peak where there is no slack in the muscle, but before it is stretched.
What does the passive tension curve look like in isometric tension with increasing length?`
Exponential increase, starting where there is no slack in the muscle, but before it is stretched
What does the overall graph of isometric tension with increasing length look like?`
continuing increase because passive tension (SEC and PEC) come in as active drops off
Elasticity is
the temporary storage of energy in stretched muscle
Viscosity is
the rate-dependent resistance encountered between surfaces of adjacent fluid-like tissues = internal resistance to elongation increases with the rate of stretch
Elastic and viscous properties of muscle influence
amount and rate of passive tension developed within a stretched muscle
How do the elastic and viscose properties protect muscles
Viscosity slows force
Tension of elasticity protects from overstretching

Isometric force and internal torque-joint angle curve development
B. When measuring (with what tool?) we assume...

Isometric force and internal torque-joint angle curve development
C. Are all internal torque - joint angle graphs the same? Why?
No, specific to each muscle group.
Muscle length changes
Moment arm changes (leverage)
Mechanical and physiologic properties affecting internal torque-joint angle curve
Mechanical:
increase or decreased moment arm (damage to patella)
Mechanical and physiologic properties affecting internal torque-joint angle curve
Physiological:
decrease muscle activation or decreaed muscle length at time of motor units firing
Peroneal nerve damage - "foot drop"
Radial nerve damage - innervates wrist extensors, inappropriate muscle length.
Isokinetic muscle action
muscle contraction occuring at a constant speed (either concentric or eccentric)
Isotonic muscle action
muscle contraction with constant weight (con, ecc or iso metric), force changes through range of motion
How does the force generated during eccentric muscle action vary with increasing velocity?
max force increases
How does the force generated during concentric muscle action vary with increasing velocity?
max force decreases
During maximal effort __ activation is inversely proportional to the velocity of muscle shortening
concentric
During maximal effort __ activation is directly proportional to the velocity of muscle lengthening
eccentric
Power = force x __
