Think about a patient seated in a wheelchair (paraplegic) who must use his/her upper extremities to press down to lift his/her body from a seated position to transfer. What muscles would be involved in this movement (pressing down onto the support surface to lift the body, NOT the full transfer) for the patient to safely lift and support his/her body weight during the movement?

During a Physical Education class, you ask your students to perform a standing vertical jump. Identify the type of muscle contraction involved in the jump and describe the movement patterns of the concentric and eccentric phases. Outline the agonists, antagonists and synergist muscles, which contribute to maximum jump height. Identify the major lower body joints and joint movements, which contribute to the concentric phase of the jump.
Using the picture, describe which muscle (supraspinatus or deltoid) has a mechanical advantage for creating abduction of the arm at the shoulder. Be sure to use the following terms in your response: axis, point of force application, and lever arm. Supraspinatus Middle deltoid
the muscle that is "mainly" responsible for a movement is called the? the muscle that acts in opposition of the movement is called the? what two terms describe a body temp either above or below normal? the muscular function of maintaining posture is possible due to what type of contraction?
Explain the mechanism of the arm abduction and adduction at the shoulder joint together with the respective muscles involved in the body movement
Describe the following terms Muscle Insertion Agonist Antagonist Synergist Abductor
Regarding lines of pull, which of the following is not considered: A muscles relative length and ability to generate force The plane of motion through which a joint is capable of moving Relative relaxation or contraction of surrounding muscles All the above are considered None of the above are considered
Describe each muscle needed to contract for specific movement and each muscles action during that action. Each muscle firing is it's own step. Something simple like kicking a ball is one action with multiple muscles firing it that action. You need at least 5 muscles involved in your action Example: Description: Picking up a glass of water. Muscles: Biceps, brachialis. Step 1: The brachialis has an origin at the humerus and inserts at the ulna. Contracting is a flexion action. Example: The [Muscle] has an origin at the [Bone] and inserts at the [Bone]. Contracting is a [Action] action
Proper positioning is critical to the prevention of pressure injuries and contractures. When the patient is in the supine position, with knees bent for prolonged periods of time, what is a common contracture that you want to prevent? (Assume hips are in a neutral position.) Knee extension contracture Dorsiflexion contracture Knee flexion contracture Hip internal rotation contracture
Match the muscles to the movements which are caused when the respective muscles contract concentrically.

You are trying to jump from a crouched position (knee fully flexed), 1) list all of the muscles at the knee and hip that would move you from this position to in the air. 2) using the principle of active insufficiency please also outline the timing of the muscle force for the knee and the hip (i.e. what muscles provide the most force early in the movement, when the knee and hip are both more flexed, and what muscles provide the most force later in the movement, when the hip and knee are both more extended)
While walking forward, there is a pain when the leg is flexong at the knee. Followed bu the leg extending at the knee. What type of contraction of the hamstring muscles would occur during flexion of the leg and then during extension of the leg? eccentric/ concentric eccentric/ isometric concentric/ eccentric concentric/ isometric
Determine the muscles involved in common movements Lists the joints used Discuss the physiology of the movement Movements: Jumping (search spring actuated models) Frog Muscles involved: quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes Joints: hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint Physiology of the movement: The moment when the frog jumps, such as a catapult or archer’s bow, the tendons which wrap around the ankle release energy, which causes a rapid extension of the ankle that drives the frog forward. Grasshopper Muscles involved: Joints: Physiology of the movement: Dolphin Muscles involved: peduncle (in the tail section) Joints: Physiology of the movement: Running Elephant Muscles involved: Joints: Physiology of the movement: Cheetah Muscles involved: Joints: Physiology of the movement: Iguana (or any lizard with a tail) Muscles involved: Joints: Physiology of the movement: Flying/Gliding/Swimming Hummingbird Muscles involved: Joints: Physiology of the…
